Bregman divergences, SVMs and possible implications

In order to find a connection between the works studied (Bregman Co-clustering and Support Vector Clustering) we have performed some research. An interesting result are the following paper:

The above paper generalizes the Minimum Enclosing Ball (MEB) problem to the Bregman divergences and also provide a generalization of the Bâdoiu-Clarkson (BC) approximation algorith. This is the same algorithm exploited in practical by the Core Vector Machines

CVMs reformulate the SVMs as a MEB problem. Since they use the BC algorithm and such an algorithm has been generalized to the Bregman divergences, the research on vector machines could have interesting implications.
