Abstract:
The aim of this work is to present a new training algorithm for SVMs based on the pattern selection strategy called Error Dependent Repetition (EDR). With EDR, the presentation frequency of a pattern depends on its error: patterns with larger errors are selected more frequently and patterns with smaller error (or learned) are presented with minor frequency. Using a simple iterative process based on gradient ascent, SVM-EDR can solve the dual problem without any assumption about support vectors or the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions.
