Recently, instead of selecting a single kernel, multiple kernel learning (MKL) has been proposed which uses a convex combination of kernels, where the weight of each kernel is optimized during training. However, MKL assigns the same weight to a kernel over the whole input space. In this paper, we de ...

**Motivation:** Identifying interactions between drug compounds and target proteins has a great practical importance in the drug discovery process for known diseases. Existing databases contain very few experimentally validated drug-target interactions and formulating successful computational method ...

In kernel-based machine learning algorithms, we can learn a combination of different kernel functions in order to obtain a similarity measure that better matches the underlying problem instead of using a single fixed kernel function. This approach is called multiple kernel learning (MKL). In this pa ...
