Homepage of Steven Van Vaerenbergh
Welcome
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the GTAS group (Advanced Signal Processing Group / Grupo de Tratamiento Avanzado de Señal), Dept. of Communications Engineering, University of Cantabria, Spain. My research interests include online learning, kernel methods, Gaussian processes, canonical correlation analysis, and their application to communications problems (adaptive filtering, tracking source separation, system identification and equalization).
Code packages and toolboxes
- Kernel Methods Toolbox (KMBOX): a Matlab toolbox for nonlinear signal processing and machine learning. Includes KPCA, KCCA, KRLS and KRR code.
- KCCA package: a Matlab package for kernel canonical correlation analysis, extracted from KMBOX.
