SSSK – Sparse Spatial Sample Kernel

Introduction

Sparse spatial sample kernels (SSSK) are described in the following publications:

 

  • Kuksa, P., Huang, P. & Pavlovic, V. (2008), “Fast Protein Homology and Fold Detection with Sparse Spatial Sample Kernels”, In Int’l Conf. Pattern Recognition. Tampa, FL. Dec. 2008.
  • Kuksa, P., Huang, P. & Pavlovic, V. (2008), “Scalable Algorithms for String Kernels with Inexact Matching”, In Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS). Vancouver, Canada. Dec. 2008.

You can download two implementations of SSSK: a Matalb/cmex version and a standalone C version. Both versions produce SSSK Gram matrices, which can then be used for classification or clustering of sequences. The distributions include a README file, a sample file with sequences, and the corresponding reference outputs (kernel matrices).
