Well, Kernel partial least squares can be used for regression as well as
for classification. It has been shown to work as good as Gaussian processes
for regression on head pose estimation applications.  See for example this
CVPR paper

http://iselab.cvc.uab.es/files/Publications/2012/PDF/AGD2012.pdf

It can be used as a classification machine which I frequently use. See this
paper:

http://enpub.fulton.asu.edu/cseml/06summer/pls_dis.pdf

if you would like a brief report on its performance, I can run experiments
on the datasets you like and provide the results on its performance as a
classification machine, for both PLS and KPLS.
For regression, I cant think right now of a benchmark for that, however, I
would be happy if you suggest any.

Eweiwi

Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business. Most IT 
organizations don't have a clear picture of how application performance 
affects their revenue. With AppDynamics, you get 100% visibility into your 
Java,.NET, & PHP application. Start your 15-day FREE TRIAL of AppDynamics Pro!
