Book excerpt: The curse of dimensionality is a major difficulty which exists in the density function estimation with high dimensional data spaces. An active area of research in the pattern analysis community is to develop algorithms which cope with the dimensionality problem. The purpose of this dissertation is to present a kernel-based method for solving the density estimation problem as one of the fundamental problems in machine learning. The proposed method does not pay much attention to the dimensionality problem. The contribution of this dissertation has three folds: creating a reliable and efficient learning-based density estimation algorithm which is minimally dependent on the input space dimensionality, investigating efficient learning algorithms for the proposed approach, and investigating the performance of the proposed algorithm in different computer vision and pattern recognition applications.
