Abstract

A novel algorithm applied linear program to estimate the generalization performance of SVM is presented. When span is used to estimate the generalization performance of SVM, a series of quadratic programs needs to be solved, of which the object function defines an elliptic norm. Based on the theorem of convergence property of norm, the function can be approximated to an infinity norm, and then a linear program is achieved. The theoretic analysis and experiment results show that the method can estimate the generalization performance well and reduce the computation time greatly.
