A Novel Model of Working Set Selection for SMO Decomposition Methods
In the process of training Support Vector Machines (SVMs) by decomposition
methods, working set selection is an important technique, and some exciting
schemes were employed into this field. To improve working set selection, we
propose a new model for working set selection in sequential minimal
optimization (SMO) decomposition methods. In this model, it selects B as
working set without reselection. Some properties are given by simple proof, and
experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is in general faster than
existing methods.Comment: 8 pages, 12 figures, it was submitted to IEEE International

Cholesky-factorized sparse Kernel in support vector machines
Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the most powerful machine learning algorithms due to its convex optimization formulation and handling non-linear classification. However, one of its main drawbacks is the long time it takes to train large data sets. This limitation is often aroused when applying non-linear kernels (e.g. RBF Kernel) which are usually required to obtain better separation for linearly inseparable data sets. In this thesis, we study an approach that aims to speed-up the training time by combining both the better performance of RBF kernels and fast training by a linear solver, LIBLINEAR. The approach uses an RBF kernel with a sparse matrix which is factorized using Cholesky decomposition. The method is tested on large artificial and real data sets and compared to the standard RBF and linear kernels where both the accuracy and training time are reported. For most data sets, the result shows a huge training time reduction, over 90\%, whilst maintaining the accuracy
Tensor Networks for Dimensionality Reduction and Large-Scale Optimizations. Part 2 Applications and Future Perspectives
Part 2 of this monograph builds on the introduction to tensor networks and
their operations presented in Part 1. It focuses on tensor network models for
super-compressed higher-order representation of data/parameters and related
cost functions, while providing an outline of their applications in machine
learning and data analytics. A particular emphasis is on the tensor train (TT)
and Hierarchical Tucker (HT) decompositions, and their physically meaningful
interpretations which reflect the scalability of the tensor network approach.
Through a graphical approach, we also elucidate how, by virtue of the
underlying low-rank tensor approximations and sophisticated contractions of
core tensors, tensor networks have the ability to perform distributed
computations on otherwise prohibitively large volumes of data/parameters,
thereby alleviating or even eliminating the curse of dimensionality. The
usefulness of this concept is illustrated over a number of applied areas,
including generalized regression and classification (support tensor machines,
canonical correlation analysis, higher order partial least squares),
generalized eigenvalue decomposition, Riemannian optimization, and in the
optimization of deep neural networks. Part 1 and Part 2 of this work can be
used either as stand-alone separate texts, or indeed as a conjoint
comprehensive review of the exciting field of low-rank tensor networks and
tensor decompositions.Comment: 232 page
