Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 33 words
Apparatus for use in a kernel-based machine, the apparatus comprising: a preprocessor, which operates on input data in such a way as to provide translation invariance in providing data to the kernel-based machine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 14 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the kernel-based machine is a support vector machine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the input data is of dimension N and the provided data is of dimension M, where M < N.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 41 words
The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the provided data has an additive invariance property such that the kernel-based machine only has to learn a vector-based function that is independent of values of the input data when the input data is translated.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 56 words
A method for use in a process incorporating a kernel-based method, the method comprising the steps of: providing input data of dimension N; preprocessing the input data by imposing local symmetries on the data for providing preprocessed data of dimension M, where M < N; and operating on the preprocessed data by applying the kernel-based method.
