Classification With Support Vector Machines, New Quadratic Programming Algorithm

Authors : Chikhaoui Ahmed . Mokhtari Abdelkader .

Abstract

Support vector machines (SVM) are excellent tools for classification and regression. They seek the optimal separating hyperplan and maximal margin. The modeling results often lead to solving a quadratic programming problem. In this paper, we present a simple method to determine the hyperplan H that separates two classes of examples so that the distance between these two classes is maximal. This method is based on the geometric interpretation of the norm of a linear mapping. The result model of our algorithm modeling is a maximization of a concave quadratic program. This quadratic program is resolved by projection method. Example illustrates the method.
