Kernel classifiers were described as early as the 1960s, with the invention of the kernel perceptron. [3] They rose to great prominence with the popularity of the support-vector machine (SVM) in the 1990s, when the SVM was found to be competitive with neural networks on tasks such as handwriting recognition.
Least-squares support-vector machines (LS-SVM) for statistics and in statistical modeling, are least-squares versions of support-vector machines (SVM), which are a set of related supervised learning methods that analyze data and recognize patterns, and which are used for classification and regression analysis.
The soft-margin support vector machine described above is an example of an empirical risk minimization (ERM) algorithm for the hinge loss. Seen this way, support vector machines belong to a natural class of algorithms for statistical inference, and many of its unique features are due to the behavior of the hinge loss.
Since the value of the RBF kernel decreases with distance and ranges between zero (in the infinite-distance limit) and one (when x = x'), it has a ready interpretation as a similarity measure. [2] The feature space of the kernel has an infinite number of dimensions; for =, its expansion using the multinomial theorem is: [3]
For degree-d polynomials, the polynomial kernel is defined as [2](,) = (+)where x and y are vectors of size n in the input space, i.e. vectors of features computed from training or test samples and c ≥ 0 is a free parameter trading off the influence of higher-order versus lower-order terms in the polynomial.
Low-rank matrix approximations are essential tools in the application of kernel methods to large-scale learning problems. [1]Kernel methods (for instance, support vector machines or Gaussian processes [2]) project data points into a high-dimensional or infinite-dimensional feature space and find the optimal splitting hyperplane.
Sequential minimal optimization (SMO) is an algorithm for solving the quadratic programming (QP) problem that arises during the training of support-vector machines (SVM). It was invented by John Platt in 1998 at Microsoft Research. [1] SMO is widely used for training support vector machines and is implemented by the popular LIBSVM tool.
where is the kernel function (usually Gaussian), are the variances of the prior on the weight vector (,), and , …, are the input vectors of the training set. [ 4 ] Compared to that of support vector machines (SVM), the Bayesian formulation of the RVM avoids the set of free parameters of the SVM (that usually require cross-validation-based ...
