Abstract-We introduce a kernel for structured data, which is an extension of the Fisher Kernel used for sequences [11]. In our approach, we extract the Fisher score vectors from a Bayesian Network, specifically a Hidden Tree Markov Model [6], which can be constructed starting from the training data. Experiments on a QSPR (quantitative structure-property relationship) analysis, where instances are naturally represented as trees, allow a first test of the approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
