I agree with Marc. The kernel trick, for example uses the kernel itself as an effective classification method without employing any other machine learning technique, if I am correct in understanding it.
Assuming that the pairwise similarity is equal (if we want it so ) can we use this as the input for a kernel method, once we use bitmap-indexing (or one-hot encoding as it is named)?
