HW5 – Theory + SVM
1.
- Let 𝐾, 𝐿 be two kernels (operating on the same space) and let 𝛼, 𝛽 be two
positive scalars.
Prove that 𝛼𝐾 + 𝛽𝐿 is a kernel.
- Provide (two different) examples of non-zero kernels 𝐾, 𝐿 (operating on the
same space), so that:
i. 𝐾−𝐿isakernel.ii. 𝐾−𝐿isnotakernel. Prove your answers.
- Use Lagrange Multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the function subject to the given constraints:
Function:𝑓(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)= 𝑥0 +𝑦0 +𝑧0.Constraint:𝑔(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)= 23 +53 +73 =1, 43 63 63
where𝛼> 𝛽>0
- Let𝑋=R=.Let
𝐶 = 𝐻 = {h(𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐) = {(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) 𝑠. 𝑡 |𝑥| ≤ 𝑎, |𝑦| ≤ 𝑏, |𝑧| ≤ 𝑐} 𝑠. 𝑡. 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐 ∈ RL} the set of all origin centered boxes. Describe a polynomial sample complexity algorithm 𝐿
that learns 𝐶 using 𝐻. State the time complexity and the sample complexity of your suggested algorithm. Prove all your steps.
