The wellposedness analysis of the kernel adaline

In this paper, we investigate the wellposedness of the kernel adaline. The kernel adaline finds the linear coefficients in a radial basis function network using deterministic gradient descent. We will show that the gradient descent provides an inherent regularization as long as the training is properly early-stopped. Along with other popular regularization techniques, this result is investigated in a unifying regularization-function concept. This understanding provides an alternative and possibly simpler way to obtain regularized solutions comparing with the cross-validation approach in regularization networks.
