Abstract
Support vector ordinal regression (SVOR) is a popular method for tackling ordinal regression problems. Solution path provides a compact representation of optimal solutions for all values of regularization parameter, which is extremely useful for model selection. However, due to the complicated formulation of SVOR (including multiple equalities and extra variables), there is still no solution path algorithm proposed for SVOR. In this paper, we propose a regularization path algorithm for SVOR which can track the two sets of variables of SVOR w.r.t. the regularization parameter. Technically, we use the QR decomposition to handle the singular matrices in the regularization path. Experiment results on a variety of datasets not only confirm the effectiveness of our regularization path algorithm, but also show the superiority of our regularization path algorithm on model selection.
