Analysis of kernel matrices via the von Neumann entropy and its relation to RVM performances

Kernel methods have played a major role in the last two decades in the modeling and visualization of complex problems in data science. The choice of kernel function remains an open research area and the reasons why some kernels perform better than others are not yet understood. Moreover, the high co...

description Kernel methods have played a major role in the last two decades in the modeling and visualization of complex problems in data science. The choice of kernel function remains an open research area and the reasons why some kernels perform better than others are not yet understood. Moreover, the high computational costs of kernel-based methods make it extremely inefficient to use standard model selection methods, such as cross-validation, creating a need for careful kernel design and parameter choice. These reasons justify the prior analyses of kernel matrices, i.e., mathematical objects generated by the kernel functions. This paper explores these topics from an entropic standpoint for the case of kernelized relevance vector machines (RVMs), pinpointing desirable properties of kernel matrices that increase the likelihood of obtaining good model performances in terms of generalization power, as well as relate these properties to the model’s fitting ability. We also derive a heuristic for achieving close-to-optimal modeling results while keeping the computational costs low, thus providing a recipe for efficient analysis when processing resources are limited.
