Recently there has been increasing interest in using the kernel in its own right to answer relational questions about the dataset . Instead of predicting individual labels, a kernel characterizes which pairs of labels are likely to be the same, or related. Kernel learning can be used to infer the network structure underlying data. A di erent application is to use the learnt kernel to produce a low dimensional embedding via kernel PCA. In this sense, kernel learning can be also be regarded as a dimensionality reduction or metric learning algorithm.}, keywords = {2006 kernels nips } }
