Abstract

We describe a kernel method which uses the maximization of Onicescu’s informational energy as a criteria for computing the relevances of input features. This adaptive relevance determination is used in combination with the neural-gas and the generalized relevance LVQ algorithms. Our quadratic optimization function, as an L 2 type method, leads to linear gradient and thus easier computation. We obtain an approximation formula similar to the mutual information based method, but in a more simple way.
