Abstract

In this paper, we design a novel regularized empirical risk minimization technique for classification called Adaptive Margin Slack Minimization (AMSM). The proposed method is based on minimizing a regularized upper bound of the misclassification error. Compared to the cost function of the classical L2-SVM, AMSM can be interpreted as minimizing a tighter bound with some additional flexibilities regarding the choice of marginal hyperplane. A hyperparameter-free adaptive algorithm is presented for finding a solution to the proposed risk function. Numerical results shows that AMSM outperforms L2-SVM on the tested standard datasets.
