Abstract(in English) The kernel methods such as support vector machines need a kernel function between two objects to be defined. When an object is represented as a vector, various kernels, e.g.the Gaussian and polynomial kernels, are available. Also for discrete data such as sequences or graphs, there have been proposed many ad-hoc approaches. However, the kernel which is applicable to general cases was not known before the Fisher kernel was proposed[11]. The Fisher kernel is derived from probabilistic models and applicable to any data as long as a probabilistic model is defined. In this paper, we will give the intuitive explanation for the Fisher kernel in terms of the leave-one-out maps. Also, since the Fisher kernel is not considered as a suitable method for classification, we introduce a specialized kernel for classification, which is called"the TOP kernel"[16].
