Abstract

In this paper, a generalization of support vector machines is explored where it is considered that input vectors have different @?"p norms for each class. It is proved that the optimization problem for binary classification by using the maximal margin principle with @?"p and @?"q norms only depends on the @?"p norm if 1@?p@?q. Furthermore, the selection of a different bias in the classifier function is a consequence of the @?"q norm in this approach. Some commentaries on the most commonly used approaches of SVM are also given as particular cases.
