Description
Summary:Support vector machines (SVM) are widely applied to various classification problems. However, most SVM need lengthy computation time when faced with a large and complicated dataset. This research develops a clustering algorithm for efficient learning. The method mainly categorizes data into clusters, and finds critical data in clusters as a substitute for the original data to reduce the computational complexity. The computational experiments presented in this paper show that the clustering algorithm significantly advances SVM learning efficiency.
