Inequality distance hyperplane multiclass support vector machines

Abstract

In this study, inequality distance hyperplane multiclass support vector machines (IDH-MSVM) algorithm is proposed on the basis of multiclassification support vector machine (MSVM) which was proposed by J. Weston and C. Watkins in 1999. It only needs to solve a single objective optimization problem to deal with multiclassification problems. For original MSVM, the hyperplane distance refers to the classification interval between classical margin and hyperplane, which is equality. However, the IDH-MSVM introduces parameters to adjust distance between every classification hyperplane and classical margin, which makes the hyperplane distance inequality. The effectiveness of the proposed method is experimented on UCI standard data sets and compared with several multiclassification algorithms. Experimental results show that this method has a better classification effect on multiclassification data.
