linfa-kernel provides methods for dimensionality expansion.
linfa-kernel is a crate in the linfa ecosystem, an effort to create a toolkit for classical Machine Learning implemented in pure Rust, akin to Python's scikit-learn.
In machine learning, kernel methods are a class of algorithms for pattern analysis, whose best known member is the support vector machine. They owe their name to the kernel functions, which maps the features to some higher-dimensional target space. Common examples for kernel functions are the radial basis function (euclidean distance) or polynomial kernels.
linfa-kernel currently provides an implementation of kernel methods for RBF and polynomial kernels, with sparse or dense representation. Further a k-neighbour approximation allows to reduce the kernel matrix size.
Low-rank kernel approximation are currently missing, but are on the roadmap. Examples for these are the Nyström approximation or Quasi Random Fourier Features.
