Study Notes
- These notes cover topics from Week 2, focusing on solving problems related to kernel matrices, centered kernel matrices, and kernel functions.
Kernel Matrix and Centering
- Given a kernel matrix K, centering it involves finding a matrix where the mean of the data is subtracted from each data point.
- For a matrix X, the mean vector is obtained by (1/n)X1, where 1 is a vector of ones of order n.
- Centering the matrix X can be achieved by computing X_centered = X - (1/n)X1.
- The operation X(1nxn) results in a matrix where each column represents the mean of the data matrix X.
Kernel Representation
- A kernel matrix K is represented as φ(X)^T * φ(X).
- The centered matrix of φ(X) can be expressed as φ(X)c = φ(X) - φ(X)(1nxn).
- K can be expressed as K = φ(X)^Tφ(X).
- The steps to compute the centered kernel matrix involve expanding the expression
- K_c = [φ(X) - φ(X)1nxn]^T * [φ(X) - φ(X)1nxn]
- Followed by simplification with matrix algebra to derive: K - K1nxn - 1nxnK + 1nxnK1nxn.
Kernel Matrix Example
- Given a kernel matrix K
- The process involves computing intermediate matrices and performing matrix operations
- The result is K_c.
- The centered kernel matrix is derived using previous formulas.
- K_c = K - K1nxn - 1nxnK + 1nxnK1nxn.
Kernel Function Transformation
- Given a kernel k(x, y) = (x'y)^2, where x and y are vectors, a transformation φ can be applied.
- The transformation φ maps x = (x1, x2) to φ(x) = (x1^2, √2x1x2, x2^2).
Kernel Validity
- A valid kernel must be symmetric.
- A given function k(x1, x2) = x1x2 - x1^3x2^3 + x1^3x2 + 1 is assessed for validity by checking symmetry
- k is not a valid kernel function.
Gaussian Kernel
- The Gaussian (RBF) kernel k1(x, y) = exp(-||x - y||^2) and a polynomial kernel k2(x, y) = (x'y + 1)^3 are used to define a new kernel
- k(x, y) = k1(x, y) + 3k2(x, y)
- The kernel matrix K for a given dataset is then computed using this combined kernel.
Kernel PCA
- Given a dataset, kernel PCA is applied using a polynomial kernel.
- The goal is projection to achieve linear separability
- Degree 2 is appropriate to capture the quadratic pattern in data.
- Transformed feature space dimension becomes {1, x1, x2, x1^2, x2^2, x1x2}.
- The total number of features in the transformed space is 6.
Dimensionality and Kernel PCA
- With Kernel PCA, the feature space often has a much higher dimensionality than the original space.
- k represents principal components and n is sample number of data points: k <= n
- In Kernel PCA, k can indeed be larger than d, but it is less than / equal to n.
Kernel Transformation Mapping
- The kernel function is: k(((x1,x2),(y1,y2))) = 1 + x1y1 + x2y2 + x1^2y1^2 + x2^2y2^2 + x1x2y1y2
- Transformation mapping is (x1,x2) = (1, x1, x2, x1^2, x2^2, x1x2).
Data Points and Mapped Space
- If a dataset has a relation of x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1, mapping returns (x^2, √2x1x2, √2x1, x2, √2x2, 1).
- Every point has relation with (1/a^2, 0, 0, -1/b^2, 0, -1) = 0.
- Every data point becomes orthogonal to the space (1/a^2, 0, 0, -1/b^2, 0, -1).
