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.

Famous quotes containing the words general, support, machine, feature and/or selection:

    In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race. One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    Have a sense of piety ever on your mind, and be ever mindful that this is subject to no change, but will last you as long as life and support you in death. Elevate your soul by prayer and by contemplation without mystical enthusiasm.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials ... despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners.
    Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)

    With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.
    Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
