Deep Support Vector Classification and Regression

2019

Abstract

Support Vector Machines, SVM, are one of the most popular machine learning models for supervised problems and have proved to achieve great performance in a wide broad of predicting tasks. However, they can suffer from scalability issues when working with large sample sizes, a common situation in the big data era. On the other hand, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) can handle large datasets with greater ease and in this paper we propose Deep SVM models that combine the highly non-linear feature processing of DNNs with SVM loss functions. As we will show, these models can achieve performances similar to those of standard SVM while having a greater sample scalability.
