CRandomFourierGaussPreproc Class Reference


Detailed Description

Preprocessor CRandomFourierGaussPreproc implements Random Fourier Features for the Gauss kernel a la Ali Rahimi and Ben Recht Nips2007 after preprocessing the features using them in a linear kernel approximates a gaussian kernel.

approximation quality depends on dimension of feature space, NOT on number of data.

effectively it requires two parameters for initialization: (A) the dimension of the input features stored in dim_input_space (B) the dimension of the output feature space

in order to make it work there are two ways: (1) if you have already previously computed random fourier features which you want to use together with newly computed ones, then you have to take the random coefficients from the previous computation and provide them via void set_randomcoefficients(...) for the new computation this case is important for example if you compute separately features on training and testing data in two feature objects

in this case you have to set 1a) void set_randomcoefficients(...)

(2) if you compute random fourier features from scratch in this case you have to set 2a) set_kernelwidth(...) 2b) void set_dim_feature_space(const int32_t dim); 2c) set_dim_input_space(const int32_t dim); 2d) init_randomcoefficients() or apply_to_feature_matrix(...)

Parameters:

bool init_randomcoefficients (  ) 

computes new random coefficients IF test_rfinited() evaluates to false test_rfinited() evaluates to TRUE if void set_randomcoefficients(...) hase been called and the values set by set_dim_input_space(...) , set_dim_feature_space(...) and set_kernelwidth(...) are consistent to the call of void set_randomcoefficients(...)
