Abstract

The authors propose a coded output support vector machine (COSVM) by introducing the idea of information coding to solve multi-class classification problems for large-scale datasets. The COSVM is built based on the support vector regression (SVR) machine that is implemented by the sequential minimal optimization (SMO) algorithm. The paper first introduces the soft ε-tube SVR's basic principles, next shows the idea and procedure of the SMO algorithm, and then gives the idea and topology of the COSVM. To study a number system's (NS) impact on the COSVM's performance, three experiments are performed with the Character Trajectories dataset, in which output labels are coded with the natural NS, decimal NS, and binary NS, respectively. Some useful results are obtained in these experiments. The final section concludes the paper and gives some further research visions.
