Abstract
This paper provides a short introduction to support vector machines and other nonlinear 
kernel-based methods recently developed in machine learning research. We describe  
principles of construction of the  nonlinear kernel-based variants of linear methods, which have been 
widely used in the domain of chemometrics. These include nonlinear kernel forms of the partial least squares, 
canonical correlation analysis, principal component analysis,  principal component regression and ridge regression
methods.
