A Majorization-Minimization approach for multiclass classification in a big data scenario
This work presents a novel optimization approach for training linear classifiers in multiclass classification tasks, when focusing on a regularized and smooth Weston-Watkins support vector machine (SVM) model. We propose a Majorization-Minimization (MM) algorithm to solve the resulting, Lipschitz-differentiable, optimization problem. To enhance scalability of the algorithm when tackling large datasets, we introduce an incremental … Read more
