Ensemble Kernel
Ensemble kernels combine multiple kernel functions within a machine learning model, aiming to improve predictive accuracy and robustness by leveraging the strengths of diverse kernel types. Current research focuses on applying ensemble kernels within Gaussian Processes and gradient-boosted regression trees, often employing Bayesian optimization to determine optimal kernel weights, and exploring their use in diverse applications like sales forecasting and graph classification. This approach demonstrates significant improvements in predictive performance across various metrics compared to single-kernel models, highlighting the value of ensemble kernels for enhancing the capabilities of existing machine learning algorithms in diverse fields.
