##REPLICATE EXPERIMENTS With the toolbox that can be used in combination with your data and kernels, we provide the demo code that replicates the experiment on the Caltech-101 dataset. It is very simple:

1. download the kernels and metadata provided here (the 15-sample files): http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/software/MKL/
2. put the uncompressed folders in the folder named kernels
3. open DEMO_caltech101.m
4. modify the TOOLBOXPATH and the KERNELPATH (if needed)
5. run the code

##USE THE CODE AS BLACKBOX You can also use the code using your data with the following steps:

0. Load the toolbox and additional libs for the experiment

TOOLBOXPATH = './';   % absolute path where the toolbox is located
addpath([TOOLBOXPATH 'MV_leastsquare/']) % load the toolbox

1. Set PARAMETERS

params_mv.gA =   % RKHS regularization
params_mv.gB =   % between-view regularization
params_mv.gW =   % within-view regularization
params_mv.c  =   % vector to build the matrix C (length of the list of views)
params_mv.Laplacian.GraphNormalize = % parameter to compute the laplacian

2. Load your data and compute the following quantities

l = % # labeled samples u = % # unlabeled samples m = % # of views P = % # of classes, i.e., length of the output vector K_trn = % training kernel, size = (#views, #samplestrain, #samplestrain) -> labeled first, unlabeled at the end K_tst = % testing kernel, size = (#views, #samplestrain, #samplestest) Ytrain = % vector-value representation of the labels of the training samples (use labels2vec.m) % NOTE: it has to have zeros corresponding to the unlabeled samples YGT = % labels of the testing samples

3. Training
  ```
[bG_trn, L]  = make_boldG_Laplacian(K_trn,params_mv,l,u,m,'training');
% [bG_trn, L]  = make_boldG_Laplacian(K_trn,params_mv,l,u,m,'training', Lapl); % in the case you have you Laplacian
[At, C]  = MV_MC_leastsquare_training(bG_trn,L,Ytrain,params_mv,P,l,u,m);
  ```

4. Testing
  ```
[bG_tst, ~] = make_boldG_Laplacian(K_tst,params_mv,l,u,m,'testing');
[estimatedLabels, conf, Y_est] = MV_MC_leastsquare_testing(bG_tst,At,C,P,m);

5. Compute classification statistics

[error_t, errorC] = performance_Y(Y_est,YGT);
