Abstract
Various kernel-based methods have been developed with great success in many fields, but very little research has been published that is concerned with a multiple attribute kernel in reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). In this paper, we propose a novel elastic kernel called a multiple attribute convolution kernel with reproducing property (MACKRP) and present improved classification results over conventional approaches in the RKHS rather than the more commonly used Hilbert space. The MACKRP consists of two major steps. First, we find the basic solution of a generalized differential operator by the delta function, and then we design a convolution function using this solution. This convolution function is proven to be a specific reproducing kernel called a convolution reproducing kernel (CRK) in H 3-space. Second, we prove that the CRK satisfies the condition of Mercer kernel. And the CRK is composed of three attributes (L 1-norm, L 2-norm and Laplace kernel), and each attribute can capture a different feature, with all attributes generating a novel kernel which we call an MACKRP. The experimental results demonstrate that the MACKRP possesses approximation and regularization performance and that classification results are consistently comparable or superior to a number of other state-of-the-art kernel functions.
