How does a random kitchen sink algorithm work?
Last year at NIPS 2017 Ali Rahimi and Ben Recht won the test of time award for their paper “Random Features for Large-Scale Kernel Machines” where they introduced random features, later codified as the random kitchen sinks algorithm. As part of publicising their paper, they showed that their model could be implemented in 5 lines of matlab.
How to approximate the feature map of a RBF kernel?
Approximates feature map of an RBF kernel by Monte Carlo approximation of its Fourier transform. It implements a variant of Random Kitchen Sinks. [1] Read more in the User Guide. Number of Monte Carlo samples per original feature. Equals the dimensionality of the computed feature space.
How to do weighted sums of random kitchen sinks?
[1] “Weighted Sums of Random Kitchen Sinks: Replacing minimization with randomization in learning” by A. Rahimi and Benjamin Recht. ( https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~brecht/papers/08.rah.rec.nips.pdf) Fit to data, then transform it. Get parameters for this estimator. Set the parameters of this estimator.
What is the random offset in the RBF kernel?
Random offset used to compute the projection in the n_components dimensions of the feature space. Random projection directions drawn from the Fourier transform of the RBF kernel.
What are random features for large-scale kernel machines?

Which is better kernel approximation or kernel trick?
The advantage of using approximate explicit feature maps compared to the kernel trick , which makes use of feature maps implicitly, is that explicit mappings can be better suited for online learning and can significantly reduce the cost of learning with very large datasets.
