We consider the problem of embedding arbitrary objects (e.g., images, audio, documents) into Euclidean space subject to a partial order over pairwise distances. Partial order cons...
Structural alignments are the most widely used tools for comparing proteins with low sequence similarity. The main contribution of this paper is to derive various kernels on prote...
In many applications, data appear with a huge number of instances as well as features. Linear Support Vector Machines (SVM) is one of the most popular tools to deal with such larg...
