Abstract
This paper proposes a novel \(l_1\)-norm loss based twin support vector regression (\(l_1\)-TSVR) model. The bound functions in this \(l_1\)-TSVR are optimized by simultaneously minimizing the \(l_1\)-norm based fitting and one-side \(\epsilon\)-insensitive losses, which results in different dual problems compared with twin support vector regression (TSVR) and \(\epsilon\)-TSVR. The main advantages of this \(l_1\)-TSVR are: First, it does not need to inverse any kernel matrix in dual problems, indicating that it not only can be optimized efficiently, but also has partly sparse bound functions. Second, it has a perfect and practical geometric interpretation. In the spirit of its geometric interpretation, this paper further presents a nearest-points based \(l_1\)-TSVR (NP-\(l_1\)-TSVR), in which bound functions are constructed by finding the nearest points between the reduced convex/affine hulls of training data and its shifted sets, respectively. Computational results obtained on a number of synthetic and real-world benchmark datasets clearly illustrate the superiority of the proposed \(l_1\)-TSVR and NP-\(l_1\)-TSVR as comparable generalization performance is achieved in accordance with the other SVR-type algorithms.
