C.2 Consolidated CV with random features Alternatively, one can use random features (Rahimi and Recht, 2007) to approximate the kernel matrix. Suppose that we consider shift-invariant kernels that satisfy K(x,y) = K(x y). In this work we use the radial kernel K(x,y) = exp( σ x y 22). The kernel can be approximated by K(x,y) φ(x),φ(y), where an explicit randomized feature mapping φ: IRp IRm is obtained by sampling from a distribution defined by the inverse Fourier transformation.
