Practical experience has shown that in order to obtain the best possible performance, prior knowledge about invariances of a classification problem at hand ought to be incorporated...
Neural networks are a useful alternative to Gaussian mixture models for acoustic modeling; however, training multilayer networks involves a difficult, nonconvex optimization that...
In our previous work, we have developed sparse least squares support vector regressors (sparse LS SVRs) trained in the primal form in the reduced empirical feature space. In this p...
Training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) requires the solution of a very large quadratic programming (QP) problem. This paper proposes an algorithm for training SVMs: Sequential Mi...
Parallel software for solving the quadratic program arising in training support vector machines for classification problems is introduced. The software implements an iterative dec...
