Kernel Methods for Pattern Analysis

This book fulfils two major roles: firstly it provides practitioners with a large toolkit of algorithms, kernels and solutions ready to be implemented, suitable for standard pattern discovery problems in field such as bioinformatics, text analysis, image analysis. Secondly it provides an easy introduction for students and researchers to the growing field of kernel-based pattern analysis, demonstrating with examples how to handcraft an algorithm or a kernel for a new specific application, and covering all the necessary conceptual and mathematical tools to do so.Cristianini, Nello is the author of 'Kernel Methods for Pattern Analysis', published 2004 under ISBN 9780521813976 and ISBN 0521813972.
