  • Nonconvex Online Support Vector Machines
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE, VOL. 33, NO. XX, XXXXXXX 2011 1 Nonconvex Online Support Vector Machines S¸eydaErtekin,Le´on Bottou, and C. Lee Giles, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—In this paper, we propose a nonconvex online Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm (LASVM-NC) based on the Ramp Loss, which has the strong ability of suppressing the influence of outliers. Then, again in the online learning setting, we propose an outlier filtering mechanism (LASVM-I) based on approximating nonconvex behavior in convex optimization. These two algorithms are built upon another novel SVM algorithm (LASVM-G) that is capable of generating accurate intermediate models in its iterative steps by leveraging the duality gap. We present experimental results that demonstrate the merit of our frameworks in achieving significant robustness to outliers in noisy data classification where mislabeled training instances are in abundance. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed approaches yield a more scalable online SVM algorithm with sparser models and less computational running time, both in the training and recognition phases, without sacrificing generalization performance. We also point out the relation between nonconvex optimization and min-margin active learning. Index Terms—Online learning, nonconvex optimization, support vector machines, active learning.

Thomas Rosch Room 528 600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC 20580 Dear Chairman Majoras: The online marketplace, which now accounts for over $100 billion in U.S. e-commerce 1 sales annually, has evolved rapidly over the past decade.1 The policies governing consumer privacy on the Internet have failed to keep pace with the developments that continue to re-shape the online world, however. Privacy policies designed for a largely static, text-based World Wide Web offer little protection in the dynamic Web of the present, in which both rich-media content, and the array of sophisticated marketing technologies designed to support that content, are assembled and re-assembled on the fly, customized and targeted for the user. Many of these data collection techniques, automated and operating in real time, are based on sophisticated algorithms that analyze user behavior online—down to the level of "micro-actions"—and shape content and advertising accordingly. For example, as Touch Clarity (a developer of consumer profiling software tools) explains, its Behavioral Targeting technology "is essentially … an automated process of intelligent listening and responding, working with each individual visitor, based upon everything they have expressed through their click-stream interactions … to-date.
