Abstract

We propose a new parallel ensemble learning algorithm of random local support vector machines, called krSVM for the effectively non-linear classification of large datasets. The random local SVM in the krSVM learning strategy uses kmeans algorithm to partition the data into k clusters, followed which it constructs a non-linear SVM in each cluster to classify the data locally in the parallel way on multi-core computers. The krSVM algorithm is faster than the standard SVM in the non-linear classification of large datasets while maintaining the classification correctness. The numerical test results on 4 datasets from UCI repository and 3 benchmarks of handwritten letters recognition showed that our proposed algorithm is efficient compared to the standard SVM.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It must be noted that the complexity of the kSVM approach does not include the kmeans clustering used to partition the full dataset. But this step requires insignificant time compared with the quadratic programming solution.

  2. 2.

    Two classifiers are diverse if they make different errors on new data points [18].
