An efficient regularized K-nearest neighbor structural twin support vector machine

摘要

K-nearest neighbor based structural twin support vector machine (KNN-STSVM) performs better than structural twin support vector machine (S-TSVM). It applies the intra-class KNN method, and different weights are given to the samples in one class to strengthen the structural information. For the other class, the redundant constraints are deleted by the inter-class KNN method to speed up the training process. However, the empirical risk minimization principle is implemented in the KNN-STSVM, so it easily leads to over-fitting and reduces the prediction accuracy of the classifier. To enhance the generalization ability of the classifier, we propose an efficient regularized K-nearest neighbor structural twin support vector machine, called RKNN-STSVM, by introducing a regularization term into the objective function. So there are two parts in the objective function, one of which is to maximize the margin between the two parallel hyper-planes, and the other one is to minimize the training errors of two classes of samples. Therefore the structural risk minimization principle is implemented in our RKNN-STSVM. Besides, a fast DCDM algorithm is introduced to handle relatively large-scale problems more efficiently. Comprehensive experimental results on twenty-seven benchmark datasets and two popular image datasets demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed RKNN-STSVM.
