Invariances in classification : an efficient svm implementation

by Gaëlle Loosli, Stéphane Canu, S. V. N. Vishwanathan, Alex J. Smola - In: Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis , 2005
"... Abstract. Often, in pattern recognition, complementary knowledge is available. This could be useful to improve the performance of the recognition system. Part of this knowledge regards invariances, in particular when treating images or voice data. Many approaches have been proposed to incorporate in ..."

invariances in pattern recognition systems. Some of these approaches require a pre-processing phase, others integrate the invariances in the algorithms. We present a unifying formulation of the problem of incorporating invariances into a pattern recognition classifier and we extend the SimpleSVM algorithm

Making Large-Scale SVM Learning Practical

by Thorsten Joachims , 1998
"... Training a support vector machine (SVM) leads to a quadratic optimization problem with bound constraints and one linear equality constraint. Despite the fact that this type of problem is well understood, there are many issues to be considered in designing an SVM learner. In particular, for large lea ..."

Training Support Vector Machines: an Application to Face Detection

by Edgar Osuna, Robert Freund, Federico Girosi , 1997
"... We investigate the application of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) in computer vision. SVM is a learning technique developed by V. Vapnik and his team (AT&T Bell Labs.) that can be seen as a new method for training polynomial, neural network, or Radial Basis Functions classifiers. The decision sur ..."

Visual categorization with bags of keypoints

by Gabriella Csurka, Christopher R. Dance, Lixin Fan, Jutta Willamowski, Cédric Bray - In Workshop on Statistical Learning in Computer Vision, ECCV , 2004
"... Abstract. We present a novel method for generic visual categorization: the problem of identifying the object content of natural images while generalizing across variations inherent to the object class. This bag of keypoints method is based on vector quantization of affine invariant descriptors of im ..."

of image patches. We propose and compare two alternative implementations using different classifiers: Naïve Bayes and SVM. The main advantages of the method are that it is simple, computationally efficient and intrinsically invariant. We present results for simultaneously classifying seven semantic visual

A Comparison of Methods for Multiclass Support Vector Machines

by Chih-Wei Hsu, Chih-Jen Lin - IEEE TRANS. NEURAL NETWORKS , 2002
"... Support vector machines (SVMs) were originally designed for binary classification. How to effectively extend it for multiclass classification is still an ongoing research issue. Several methods have been proposed where typically we construct a multiclass classifier by combining several binary class ..."

As it is computationally more expensive to solve multiclass problems, comparisons of these methods using large-scale problems have not been seriously conducted. Especially for methods solving multiclass SVM in one step, a much

A tutorial on support vector machines for pattern recognition

by Christopher J. C. Burges - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery , 1998
"... The tutorial starts with an overview of the concepts of VC dimension and structural risk minimization. We then describe linear Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for separable and non-separable data, working through a non-trivial example in detail. We describe a mechanical analogy, and discuss when SV ..."

SVM solutions are unique and when they are global. We describe how support vector training can be practically implemented, and discuss in detail the kernel mapping technique which is used to construct SVM solutions which are nonlinear in the data. We show how Support Vector machines can have very

Multiple kernel learning, conic duality, and the SMO algorithm

by Francis R. Bach, Gert R. G. Lanckriet - In Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML , 2004
"... While classical kernel-based classifiers are based on a single kernel, in practice it is often desirable to base classifiers on combinations of multiple kernels. Lanckriet et al. (2004) considered conic combinations of kernel matrices for the support vector machine (SVM), and showed that the optimiz ..."

; moreover, the sequential minimal optimization (SMO) techniques that are essential in large-scale implementations of the SVM cannot be applied because the cost function is non-differentiable. We propose a novel dual formulation of the QCQP as a second-order cone programming problem, and show how to exploit
