    An earlier paper on this approach (Bounds for Learning the Kernel: Rademacher Chaos Complexity) was released in 2008 and you can download the original pdf. This latest version is an extension of our COLT conference paper: Generalization bounds for learning the kernel. We now provide a self-contained proof for bounding the Rademacher chaos complexity by metric entropy integrals and also correct the claim about generalization bounds derived from the covering number approach (which appeared at the end of Section 3 of the COLT conference version).
