We propose several novel methods for enhancing the multi-class SVMs by applying the generalization performance of binary classifiers as the core idea. This concept will be applied on the existing algorithms, i.e., the Decision Directed Acyclic Graph (DDAG), the Adaptive Directed Acyclic Graphs (ADAG), and Max Wins. Although in the previous approaches there have been many attempts to use some information such as the margin size and the number of support vectors as performance estimators for binary SVMs, they may not accurately reflect the actual performance of the binary SVMs. We show that the generalization ability evaluated via a cross-validation mechanism is more suitable to directly extract the actual performance of binary SVMs. Our methods are built around this performance measure, and each of them is crafted to overcome the weakness of the previous algorithm. The proposed methods include the Reordering Adaptive Directed Acyclic Graph (RADAG), Strong Elimination of the classifiers (SE), Weak Elimination of the classifiers (WE), and Voting based Candidate Filtering (VCF). Experimental results demonstrate that our methods give significantly higher accuracy than all of the traditional ones. Especially, WE provides significantly superior results compared to Max Wins which is recognized as the state of the art algorithm in terms of both accuracy and classification speed with two times faster in average.

The twin support vector machine and its extensions have made great achievements in dealing with binary classification problems, however, which is faced with some difficulties such as model selection and solving multi-classification problems quickly. This paper is devoted to the fast regularization parameter tuning algorithm for the twin multi-class support vector machine. A new sample dataset division method is adopted and the Lagrangian multipliers are proved to be piecewise linear with respect to the regularization parameters by combining the linear equations and block matrix theory. Eight kinds of events are defined to seek for the starting event and then the solution path algorithm is designed, which greatly reduces the computational cost. In addition, only few points are combined to complete the initialization and Lagrangian multipliers are proved to be 1 as the regularization parameter tends to infinity. Simulation results based on UCI datasets show that the proposed method can achieve good classification performance with reducing the computational cost of grid search method from exponential level to the constant level.
We propose new methods for Support Vector Machines (SVMs) using tree architecture for multi-class classi- fication. In each node of the tree, we select an appropriate binary classifier using entropy and generalization error estimation, then group the examples into positive and negative classes based on the selected classi- fier and train a new classifier for use in the classification phase. The proposed methods can work in time complexity between O(log2N) to O(N) where N is the number of classes. We compared the performance of our proposed methods to the traditional techniques on the UCI machine learning repository using 10-fold cross-validation. The experimental results show that our proposed methods are very useful for the problems that need fast classification time or problems with a large number of classes as the proposed methods run much faster than the traditional techniques but still provide comparable accuracy.
The diversification (generating slightly varying separating discriminators) of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for boosting has proven to be a challenge due to the strong learning nature of SVMs. Based on the insight that perturbing the SVM kernel may help in diversifying SVMs, we propose two kernel perturbation based boosting schemes where the kernel is modified in each round so as to increase the resolution of the kernel-induced Reimannian metric in the vicinity of the datapoints misclassified in the previous round. We propose a method for identifying the disjuncts in a dataset, dispelling the dependence on rule-based learning methods for identifying the disjuncts. We also present a new performance measure called Geometric Small Disjunct Index (GSDI) to quantify the performance on small disjuncts for balanced as well as class imbalanced datasets. Experimental comparison with a variety of state-of-the-art algorithms is carried out using the best classifiers of each type selected by a new approach inspired by multi-criteria decision making. The proposed method is found to outperform the contending state-of-the-art methods on different datasets (ranging from mildly imbalanced to highly imbalanced and characterized by varying number of disjuncts) in terms of three different performance indices (including the proposed GSDI).
This paper aims at improving the classification accuracy of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier with Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) training algorithm in order to properly classify failure and normal instances from oil and gas equipment data. Recent applications of failure analysis have made use of the SVM technique without implementing SMO training algorithm, while in our study we show that the proposed solution can perform much better when using the SMO training algorithm. Furthermore, we implement the ensemble approach, which is a hybrid rule based and neural network classifier to improve the performance of the SVM classifier (with SMO training algorithm). The optimization study is as a result of the underperformance of the classifier when dealing with imbalanced dataset. The selected best performing classifiers are combined together with SVM classifier (with SMO training algorithm) by using the stacking ensemble method which is to create an efficient ensemble predictive model that can handle the issue of imbalanced data. The classification performance of this predictive model is considerably better than the SVM with and without SMO training algorithm and many other conventional classifiers.
Classification with a large number of classes is a key problem in machine learning and corresponds to many real-world applications like tagging of images or textual documents in social networks. If one-vs-all methods usually reach top performance in this context, these approaches suffer from a high inference complexity, linear w.r.t the number of categories. Different models based on the notion of binary codes have been proposed to overcome this limitation, achieving in a sublinear inference complexity. But they a priori need to decide which binary code to associate to which category before learning using more or less complex heuristics. We propose a new end-to-end model which aims at simultaneously learning to associate binary codes with categories, but also learning to map inputs to binary codes. This approach called Deep Stochastic Neural Codes (DSNC) keeps the sublinear inference complexity but do not need any a priori tuning. Experimental results on different datasets show the effectiveness of the approach w.r.t baseline methods.
