- abstract = "While support vector machines (SVMs) have shown great promise in supervised classification problems, researchers have had to rely on expert domain knowledge when choosing the SVM's kernel function. This project seeks to replace this expert with a genetic programming (GP) system. Using strongly typed genetic programming and principled kernel closure properties, we introduce a new algorithm, called KGP, which finds near-optimal kernels. The algorithm shows wide applicability, but the combined computational overhead of GP and SVMs remains a major unresolved issue.",

Cites \cite{DBLP:journals/air/HowleyM05}. Guarantees closure and evolved kernel is valid (ie it will be a Mercer Kernel). Positive definite gram matrix => Mercer Kernel
C-SVC, u-SVC
LIBSVM Mentions total noise datasets (ie Pima, page 1705) but does not give results. KGP. Not obvious why evolved kernels work. Small difference between GP SVM (KGP) and SVM-Grid?",
