LEARNINGClass 08: Large Scale Learning by Sketching
Instructor: Lorenzo Rosasco
Description
We discuss computational strategies for learning with large scale kernel methods, i.e. memory efficient when dealing with large datasets. We focus on subsampling methods that replace the empirical kernel matrix with a smaller matrix obtained by (column) subsampling.
