Need some help understanding the notation for Online Machine Learning algorithms

434 Views Asked by At

I'm reading the Wikipedia article on Online Machine Learning and some of the algorithms mentioned there seem to be missing some context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_machine_learning#The_algorithm_and_its_interpretations

Specifically, in the first paragraph of the link above it mentions $H = \{ \langle w, \cdot \rangle : w \in \mathbb{R}^d \}$ and $V( \cdot , \cdot )$.

What do the dots represent in those equations? I assume they're not a simple variable like $x$ or $y$, but it's hard to figure it out.

Thanks!

It's a standard notation to denote parameter positions, so $V$ here has two inputs, and $H$ here is a set of functions each with one input that is passed as the second input to the inner product (with first input being some $w \in \mathbb{R}^d$ .
