This study introduces Difference of Convex functions (DC) programming and the DC Algorithm (DCA) for online learning. The proposed online DCA algorithms demonstrate efficiency in binary linear classification tasks, achieving competitive results on benchmark datasets.
Area of Science:
- Machine Learning
- Optimization
- Computer Science
Background:
- Online learning algorithms are crucial for sequential data prediction.
- Difference of Convex (DC) programming offers a framework for complex optimization problems.
- Existing online learning methods may face challenges with non-convex objectives.
Discussion:
- This research formulates online learning prediction as a DC program.
- It applies the DC Algorithm (DCA) for online prediction.
- Two versions of the online DCA scheme (complete/approximate) are proposed and analyzed.
Key Insights:

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
