CGaussianMatchStringKernel Class Reference


Detailed Description

The class GaussianMatchStringKernel computes a variant of the Gaussian kernel on strings of same length.

It is computed as

\[ k({\bf x},{\bf x'})= e^{-\frac{\left(x-x'\right)^2}{w}} \]

Note that additional normalisation is applied, i.e.

\[ k'({\bf x}, {\bf x'})=\frac{k({\bf x}, {\bf x'})}{\sqrt{k({\bf x}, {\bf x})k({\bf x'}, {\bf x'})}} \]
