ICF: An algorithm for large scale classification with conic functions
Emre Çimen, Gürkan Öztürk, Ömer Nezih Gerek · SoftwareX · 2017
Incremental Conic Functions (ICF) algorithm is developed for solving classification problems based on mathematical programming. This algorithm improves previous version of conic function-based classifier construction in terms of computational speed. Furthermore, the incremental step avoids the a-priori knowledge of number of sub-classes (which is a necessary parameter in the clustering step of this classification algorithm). Test results show that ICF is, on the average almost 3-times faster than previous versions without sacrificing accuracy. Python 2.7 implementation and software explanations are provided.
