For [23] we refer to the paper pointed by you. 5. To Reviewer_25: the overall conceptual motivation for the paper is somewhat weak... Nystrom approximation can be used to approximate the kernel matrix and speed up kernel machines, and from Table 1 we can see that the performance is suboptimal even when rank=200 (see the 5-th column). In this case, it requires 200 inner product computations to make one prediction, which is too slow for many real-time systems (e.g., web applications, robotic applications ...). Therefore state-of-the-art Nystrom method is not good enough, and we reduce the prediction time to 10~20 inner products with a better classification accuracy, which is a big improvement. Also, as we mentioned in the point 1 above, although we want to optimize the prediction time, our method still has fast training time. We agree that the psuedo landmark point technique can be potentially applied to speed up the training time, and it is an interesting research direction.
