Learning in reproducing kernel Kreın spaces (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Oglic, D., & Gärtner, T. Learning in reproducing kernel Kreın spaces. Presented at 35th International Conference on Machine Learning

We formulate a novel regularized risk minimization problem for learning in reproducing kernel Kreın spaces and show that the strong representer theorem applies to it.
