CPolyMatchStringKernel Class Reference


Detailed Description

The class PolyMatchStringKernel computes a variant of the polynomial kernel on strings of same length.

It is computed as

\[ k({\bf x},{\bf x'})= (\sum_{i=0}^L I(x_i=x'_i)+c)^d \]

where I is the indicator function which evaluates to 1 if its argument is true and to 0 otherwise.

Note that additional normalisation is applied, i.e.

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