New q-Orthogonal Kernels Enhance SVM Performance and Stability

Researchers have introduced a new family of kernels for machine learning, specifically for Support Vector Machines (SVMs), based on discrete $q$-Hermite I polynomials. These $q$-orthogonal kernels generalize classical Hermite polynomials and are designed to offer improved numerical stability and computational simplicity compared to existing methods. Experiments on 20 benchmark datasets show that these new kernels perform competitively with traditional kernels like RBF and other orthogonal polynomial kernels, suggesting a promising direction for kernel design that bridges mathematical theory with practical applications.

    Beyond the Gegenbauer Paradigm: q-Orthogonal Kernels for Machine Learning

    arXiv:2608.03482v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The performance of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) critically depends on the kernel function choice, which enables implicit mapping of data into high-dimensional feature spaces. While classical kernels like Radial Basis Function (R…
