Kernel Functions

Note

Kernel functions are also available with oneAPI interfaces:

• Linear kernel

• Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel

Kernel functions form a class of algorithms for pattern analysis. The main characteristic of kernel functions is a distinct approach to this problem. Instead of reducing the dimension of the original data, kernel functions map the data into higher-dimensional spaces in order to make the data more easily separable there.

Linear Kernel

A linear kernel is the simplest kernel function.

Problem Statement

Given a set \(X\) of \(n\) feature vectors \(x_1 = (x_{11}, \ldots, x_{1p}), \ldots, x_n = (x_{n1}, \ldots, x_{np})\) of dimension \(p\) and a set \(Y\) of \(m\) feature vectors \(y_1 = (y_{11}, \ldots, y_{1p}), \ldots, y_m = (y_{m1}, \ldots, x_{mp})\), the problem is to compute the linear kernel function \(K(x_i,, y_i)\) for any pair of input vectors: \(K(x_i, y_i) = k {X_i}^T y_i + b\).
