Empirical Inference

Training and Approximation of a Primal Multiclass Support Vector Machine

2007

Conference Paper

We revisit the multiclass support vector machine (SVM) and generalize the formulation to convex loss functions and joint feature maps. Motivated by recent work [Chapelle, 2006] we use logistic loss and softmax to enable gradient based primal optimization. Kernels are incorporated via kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), which naturally leads to approximation methods for large scale problems. We investigate similarities and differences to previous multiclass SVM approaches. Experimental comparisons to previous approaches and to the popular one-vs-rest SVM are presented on several different datasets.
