New approach to training support vector machine
Tang Faming, Chen Mianyun, Zhongdong Wang · Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics · 2006
Support vector machine has become an increasingly popular tool for machine learning tasks involving classification, regression or novelty detection. Training a support vector machine requires the solution of a very large quadratic programming problem. Traditional optimization methods cannot be directly applied due to memory restrictions. Up to now, several approaches exist for circumventing the above shortcomings and work well. Another learning algorithm, particle swarm optimization, for training SVM is introduted. The method is tested on UCI datasets.
