AI Analysis

This addresses practical issues in data integration and learning under constraints like sensor failures or costly measurements, though it is incremental in extending kernel completion to new settings.

The paper tackles the problem of completing kernel matrices with entirely missing rows and columns, without requiring any complete kernels a priori and handling non-linear kernels, and demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms existing techniques in applicable settings.

In this paper, we introduce the first method that (1) can complete kernel matrices with completely missing rows and columns as opposed to individual missing kernel values, (2) does not require any of the kernels to be complete a priori, and (3) can tackle non-linear kernels. These aspects are necessary in practical applications such as integrating legacy data sets, learning under sensor failures and learning when measurements are costly for some of the views. The proposed approach predicts missing rows by modelling both within-view and between-view relationships among kernel values. We show, both on simulated data and real world data, that the proposed method outperforms existing techniques in the restricted settings where they are available, and extends applicability to new settings.
