C.2 Consolidated CV with random features Alternatively, one can use random features (Rahimi and Recht, 2007) to approximate the kernel matrix. Suppose that we consider shift-invariant kernels that satisfy K(x,y) = K(x y). In this work we use the radial kernel K(x,y) = exp( ฯ x y 22). The kernel can be approximated by K(x,y) ฯ(x),ฯ(y), where an explicit randomized feature mapping ฯ: IRp IRm is obtained by sampling from a distribution defined by the inverse Fourier transformation.
Adversarial Multiclass Classification: A Risk Minimization Perspective
Rizal Fathony, Anqi Liu, Kaiser Asif, Brian Ziebart
Recently proposed adversarial classification methods have shown promising results for cost sensitive and multivariate losses. In contrast with empirical risk minimization (ERM) methods, which use convex surrogate losses to approximate the desired non-convex target loss function, adversarial methods minimize non-convex losses by treating the properties of the training data as being uncertain and worst case within a minimax game. Despite this difference in formulation, we recast adversarial classification under zero-one loss as an ERM method with a novel prescribed loss function. We demonstrate a number of theoretical and practical advantages over the very closely related hinge loss ERM methods. This establishes adversarial classification under the zero-one loss as a method that fills the long standing gap in multiclass hinge loss classification, simultaneously guaranteeing Fisher consistency and universal consistency, while also providing dual parameter sparsity and high accuracy predictions in practice.
Sparse $ฮต$ insensitive zone bounded asymmetric elastic net support vector machines for pattern classification
Existing support vector machines(SVM) models are sensitive to noise and lack sparsity, which limits their performance. To address these issues, we combine the elastic net loss with a robust loss framework to construct a sparse $\varepsilon$-insensitive bounded asymmetric elastic net loss, and integrate it with SVM to build $\varepsilon$ Insensitive Zone Bounded Asymmetric Elastic Net Loss-based SVM($\varepsilon$-BAEN-SVM). $\varepsilon$-BAEN-SVM is both sparse and robust. Sparsity is proven by showing that samples inside the $\varepsilon$-insensitive band are not support vectors. Robustness is theoretically guaranteed because the influence function is bounded. To solve the non-convex optimization problem, we design a half-quadratic algorithm based on clipping dual coordinate descent. It transforms the problem into a series of weighted subproblems, improving computational efficiency via the $\varepsilon$ parameter. Experiments on simulated and real datasets show that $\varepsilon$-BAEN-SVM outperforms traditional and existing robust SVMs. It balances sparsity and robustness well in noisy environments. Statistical tests confirm its superiority. Under the Gaussian kernel, it achieves better accuracy and noise insensitivity, validating its effectiveness and practical value.
