Title:
Fast Kernel SVM Training and Classification

Abstract:
I will discuss two algorithms related to kernel SVM optimization. The
first, the kernelized stochastic batch perceptron (SBP), is a training
algorithm which achieves a runtime guarantee better than that of any other
known kernelized SVM optimization approach. The second is an algorithm for
taking an existing solution to the kernel SVM optimization problem and
"sparsifying it", resulting in a new classifier with the same
generalization performance, but a smaller support size. This method is very
simple, very fast, and, due to the sparsity of its result, gives solutions
which classify previously-unseen points efficiently.
