Sampling techniques for kernel methods

 Dimitris Achlioptas, Frank McSherry and Bernhard Schölkopf
  
 

Abstract:

We propose randomized techniques for speeding up Kernel Principal Component Analysis on three levels: sampling and quantization of the Gram matrix in training, randomized rounding in evaluating the kernel expansions, and random projections in evaluating the kernel itself. In all three cases, we give sharp bounds on the accuracy of the obtained approximations. Rather intriguingly, all three techniques can be viewed as instantiations of the following idea: replace the kernel function k by a ``randomized kernel'' which behaves like k in expectation.
