Feature Selection - General L1-norm Support Vector Machine For Feature Selection

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.

    The tremendous outflow of intellectuals that formed such a prominent part of the general exodus from Soviet Russia in the first years of the Bolshevist Revolution seems today like the wanderings of some mythical tribe whose bird-signs and moon-signs I now retrieve from the desert dust.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    The momentary charge at Balaklava, in obedience to a blundering command, proving what a perfect machine the soldier is, has, properly enough, been celebrated by a poet laureate; but the steady, and for the most part successful, charge of this man, for some years, against the legions of Slavery, in obedience to an infinitely higher command, is as much more memorable than that as an intelligent and conscientious man is superior to a machine. Do you think that that will go unsung?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Knavery seems to be so much a the striking feature of its inhabitants that it may not in the end be an evil that they will become aliens to this kingdom.
    George III (1738–1820)

    Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.
    Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)
