dc.description.abstractThe performance of the kernel-based pattern classification algorithms depends highly on the selection of the kernel function and its parameters. Consequently in the recent years there has been a growing interest in machine learning algorithms to select kernel functions automatically from a predefined dictionary of kernels. In this work we develop a general mathematical framework for multi-kernel classification that makes use of sparse representation theory for automatically selecting the kernel functions and their parameters that best represent a set of training samples. We construct a dictionary of different kernel functions with different parametrizations. Using a sparse approximation algorithm, we represent the ideal score of each training sample as a sparse linear combination of the kernel functions in the dictionary evaluated at all training samples. Moreover, we incorporate the high-level operator's concepts into the learning by using the in-situ learning for the new unseen samples whose scores can not be represented suitably using the previously selected representative samples. Finally, we evaluate the viability of this method for in-situ classification of a database of underwater object images. Results are presented in terms of ROC curve, confusion matrix and correct classification rate measures.
