Title: Large Scale Machine Learning Algorithms and Applications
Abstract:
With the explosive growth in technology, the amount and the variety of data has grown tremendously leading to new challenges in classification scenarios. Support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is considered one of the most popular classification paradigms in machine learning owing to its strong mathematical background, and has lately faced criticism due to its limitations such as unscalability, high time complexity and sensitivity to feature and label noise. Over the past decade, several advancements have been made such as twin SVM and variants which led to significant improvements in terms of fast learning speed, ease of implementation and ability to capture diversity among classes. These models have attracted considerable research attention due to promising results shown in the various real-world applications including Image Retrieval, Computer Vision, Financial Regression, Biomedical Analysis etc. However, there have emerged new challenges along with the existing ones such as high dimensionality in kernel implementations, need for large training data and sensitivity to outliers. There is, thus, a need to improve upon these methods and devise new ones to tackle the limitations. In this talk, some novel large-scale twin SVM based algorithms will be discussed to overcome these shortcomings.
