Data Dependent Kernel Approximation using Pseudo Random Fourier Features

Kernel methods are powerful and flexible approach to solve many problems in machine learning. Due to the pairwise evaluations in kernel methods, the complexity of kernel computation grows as the data size increases; thus the applicability of kernel methods is limited for large scale datasets. Random Fourier Features (RFF) has been proposed to scale the kernel method for solving large scale datasets by approximating kernel function using randomized Fourier features. While this method proved very popular, still it exists shortcomings to be effectively used. As RFF samples the randomized features from a distribution independent of training data, it requires sufficient large number of feature expansions to have similar performances to kernelized classifiers, and this is proportional to the number samples in the dataset. Thus, reducing the number of feature dimensions is necessary to effectively scale to large datasets. In this paper, we propose a kernel approximation method in a data dependent way, coined as Pseudo Random Fourier Features (PRFF) for reducing the number of feature dimensions and also to improve the prediction performance. The proposed approach is evaluated on classification and regression problems and compared with the RFF, orthogonal random features and Nystr{\"o}m approach
