Interior-Point Methods for Massive Support Vector Machines

Ferris, Michael C., Munson, Todd S.·2002·SIAM Journal on Optimization

Abstract

We investigate the use of interior-point methods for solving quadratic programming problems with a small number of linear constraints, where the quadratic term consists of a low-rank update to a positive semidefinite matrix. Several formulations of the support vector machine fit into this category. An interesting feature of these particular problems is the volume of data, which can lead to quadratic programs with between 10 and 100 million variables and, if written explicitly, a dense Q matrix. Our code is based on OOQP, an object-oriented interior-point code, with the linear algebra specialized for the support vector machine application. For the targeted massive problems, all of the data is stored out of core and we overlap computation and input/output to reduce overhead. Results are reported for several linear support vector machine formulations demonstrating that the method is reliable and scalable.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
