| In [[statistical classification]], the '''Fisher kernel''', named in honour of Sir [[Ronald Fisher]], is a function that [[Similarity measure|measures the similarity]] of two objects on the basis of sets of measurements for each object and a statistical model. In a classification procedure, the class for a new object (whose real class is unknown) can be estimated by minimising, across classes, an average of the Fisher kernel distance from the new object to each known member of the given class.

| |
| * generative models can process data of variable length (adding or removing data is well-supported)

| * discriminative methods can have flexible criteria and yield better results.

| == Derivation ==
| |
| === Fisher score ===
| |
| The Fisher kernel makes use of the '''Fisher [[Score (statistics)|score]]''', defined as
| |
| | |
| : <math>
| |
| U_X = \nabla_{\theta} \log P(X|\theta)
| |
| </math> | |
| | |
| with ''θ'' being a set (vector) of parameters. The function taking ''θ'' to log P(''X''|''θ'') is the [[log-likelihood]] of the probabilistic model.
| |
| | |
| === Fisher kernel ===
| |
| The '''Fisher kernel''' is defined as
| |
| | |
| : <math>
| |
| K(X_i, X_j) = U_{X_i}^T I^{-1} U_{X_j}
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| with ''I'' the [[Fisher information]] matrix.
| |
| | |
| == Applications ==
| |
| === Information retrieval ===
| |
| The Fisher kernel is the kernel for a generative probabilistic model. As such, it constitutes a bridge between generative and probabilistic models of documents.<ref>Cyril Goutte, Eric Gaussier, Nicola Cancedda, Hervé Dejean (2004))[http://www.xrce.xerox.com/Research-Development/Publications/2003-0794 "Generative vs Discriminative Approaches to Entity Recognition from Label-Deficient Data"] ''JADT 2004, 7èmes journées internationales analyse statistique des données textuelles'', Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, 10-12 mars 2004</ref> Fisher kernels exist for numerous models, notably [[tf–idf]],<ref>{{cite conference |author=Charles Elkan |title=Deriving TF-IDF as a fisher kernel |year=2005 |conference=SPIRE |url=http://lvk.cs.msu.su/~bruzz/articles/not_processed/spire05.pdf}}</ref> [[Naive Bayes]] and [[probabilistic latent semantic analysis]].
| |
| | |
| === Image classification and retrieval ===
| |
| The Fisher kernel can also be applied to image representation for classification or retrieval problems. Currently, the most popular [[Bag of words model in computer vision|bag-of-visual-words]] representation suffers from sparsity and high dimensionality. The Fisher kernel can result in a compact and dense representation, which is more desirable for image classification<ref>Florent Perronnin and Christopher Dance (2007), “Fisher Kernels on Visual Vocabularies for Image Categorization”</ref> and retrieval<ref>Herve Jegou et al. (2010), “Aggregating local descriptors into a compact image representation”</ref> problems.
