Abstract
The present work is part of ongoing effort to improve the performance of Gujarati character recognition. In the recent advancement in kernel methods, the novel concept of multiple kernel learning(MKL) has given improved results for many problems. In this paper, we present novel application of MKL for Gujarati character recognition. We have applied three different feature representations for symbols obtained after zone wise segmentation of Gujarati text. The MKL based classification is proposed, where the MKL is used for learning optimal combination of different features for classification. In addition MKL based classification results for different features is also presented. The multiclass classification is performed in Decision DAG framework. The comparison results in 1-Vs-1 framework and using KNN classifier is also presented. The experiments have shown substantial improvement in earlier results.

Learning the Kernel Matrix with Semidefinite Programming

TL;DR: This paper shows how the kernel matrix can be learned from data via semidefinite programming (SDP) techniques and leads directly to a convex method for learning the 2-norm soft margin parameter in support vector machines, solving an important open problem.

Large Margin DAGs for Multiclass Classification

TL;DR: An algorithm, DAGSVM, is presented, which operates in a kernel-induced feature space and uses two-class maximal margin hyperplanes at each decision-node of the DDAG, which is substantially faster to train and evaluate than either the standard algorithm or Max Wins, while maintaining comparable accuracy to both of these algorithms.
