Abstract
Quaternion reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (QRKHS) have been proposed recently and provide a highdimensional feature space (alternative to the real-valued multikernel approach) for general kernel-learning applications. The current challenge within quaternion-kernel learning is the lack of general quaternion-valued kernels, which are necessary to exploit the full advantages of the QRKHS theory in real-world problems. This letter proposes a novel way to design quaternionvalued kernels, this is achieved by transforming three complex kernels into quaternion ones and then combining their real and imaginary parts. Building on this general construction, our emphasis is on a new quaternion kernel of polynomial features, which is assessed in the prediction of bodysensor networks applications.
