General L1-norm Support Vector Machine For Feature Selection

It has been shown in that the traditional L1-norm SVM proposed by Bradley and Mangasarian in can be generalized to a general L1-norm SVM (GL1-SVM).

Moreover, it has been proved that solving the new proposed optimization problem (GL1-SVM) gives smaller error penalty and enlarges the margin between two support vector hyper-planes, thus possibly gives better generalization capability of SVM than solving the traditional L1-norm SVM.

GL1-SVM may also be seen a special case of some generic feature selectors.

    What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I believe, as Maori people do, that children should have more adults in their lives than just their mothers and fathers. Children need more than one or two positive role models. It is in your children’s best interest that you help them cultivate a support system that extends beyond their immediate family.
    Stephanie Marston (20th century)

    What is man, when you come to think upon him, but a minutely set, ingenious machine for turning, with infinite artfulness, the red wine of Shiraz into urine?
    Isak Dinesen [Karen Blixen] (1885–1962)

    Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,—not though it be of the Garter,—confers so fair an honour.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
