Description: This book provides professionals with a large selection of algorithms, kernels and solutions ready for implementation and suitable for standard pattern discovery problems in fields such as bioinformatics, text analysis and image analysis. It also serves as an introduction for students and researchers to the growing field of kernel-based pattern analysis, demonstrating with examples how to handcraft an algorithm or a kernel for a new specific application, and covering all the necessary conceptual and mathematical tools to do so.
Review Quotes: "The book provides an excellent overview of this growing field. I highly recommend it to those who are interested in pattern analysis and machine learning, and especially to those who want to apply kernel-based methods to text analysis and bioinformatics problems."
