New convex losses proposed for SVM and Neural Networks

Researchers have introduced novel convex loss functions designed for Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Neural Networks, specifically for binary classification tasks. While direct application to dual SVM models presents challenges, these new losses can be integrated with the primal SVM formulation and Neural Networks. The study employed Particle Swarm Optimization to solve the primal SVM problem with these modified losses, demonstrating that they generalize standard losses. Initial experiments on small datasets, evaluated using Nested Cross-Validation, indicated that the inclusion of these new losses did not significantly alter generalization measures compared to standard approaches, though theoretical benefits from pattern correlations within the loss function were noted.

    Convex losses and their applications to SVM, SVR, and Shallow Neural Networks

    arXiv:2608.14288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose multiple new convex losses for SVM and Neural Networks, applied to binary classification tasks. While there are practical limitations in exploiting them with the dual SVM models, we are able to use them with SVM primal fo…
