Class StripeKernelCache

java.lang.Object

it.uniroma2.sag.kelp.kernel.cache.KernelCache

it.uniroma2.sag.kelp.kernel.cache.StripeKernelCache

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class StripeKernelCache
extends KernelCache
implements Serializable

Given a dataset, this cache stores kernel computations in "Stripes", i.e. whole rows of the complete Gram Matrix. In other words given a subset S of the examples in the dataset D, the cache is able to store all the kernel computations between any example in S and any example in D. To reduce the requirement of memory space, the cache stores only n stripes. When the number of stripes is exceeded, they are removed according to a FIFO policy.
