Abstract
En 中文
Based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Twin Parametric Margin SVM (TPMSVM), this paper proposes two sparse models, named Sparse SVM (SSVM) and Sparse TPMSVM (STPMSVM). The study aims to achieve high sparsity, rapid prediction, and strong generalization capability by transforming the classical quadratic programming problems (QPPs) into linear programming problems (LPPs). The core idea stems from a clear geometric motivation: introducing an & ell;1-norm penalty on the dual variables to break the inherent rotational symmetry of the traditional & ell;2-norm on the normal vector. Through a theoretical reformulation using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, we achieve a transformation from explicit symmetry-breaking to implicit structural constraints-the & ell;1 penalty term does not appear explicitly in the final objective function, while the sparsity-inducing effect is fundamentally encoded within the objective functions and their constraints. Ultimately, the derived linear programming models naturally yield highly sparse solutions. Extensive experiments are conducted on multiple synthetic datasets under various noise conditions, as well as on 20 publicly available benchmark datasets. Results demonstrate that the two sparse models achieve significant sparsity at the support vectors level-on the benchmark datasets, SSVM, and STPMSVM reduce the number of support vectors by an average of 56.21% compared with conventional SVM, while STPMSVM achieves an average reduction of 39.11% compared with TPMSVM-thereby greatly improving prediction efficiency. Notably, SSVM maintains accuracy comparable to conventional SVM under low-noise conditions while attaining extreme sparsity and prediction efficiency. In contrast, STPMSVM offers enhanced robustness to noise and maintains a better balance between sparsity and accuracy, preserving the desirable properties of TPMSVM while improving prediction efficiency and robustness.
