Main Idea
 Unsupervised SVMs
(and semi-supervised SVMs)
 Harder computational problem than
SVMs
 Convex relaxation – Semidefinite
program
(Polynomial time)
8
Background: Two-class SVM
 Supervised classification learning
 Labeled data  linear discriminant
wx b  0
 Classification rule: y  sgn(w  x  b)
+
Some better than others?
9
Maximum Margin Linear Discriminant
w  x  b  0 to maximize
dist ( xi , yi , Plane w  x  b  0)
Choose a linear discriminant
min xi , yi
10
Unsupervised Learning
 Given unlabeled data,
how to infer classifications?
 Organize objects into
groups — clustering
11
Idea: Maximum Margin Clustering
 Given unlabeled data,
find maximum margin
separating hyperplane
 Clusters the data
 Constraint: class balance:
bound difference in sizes
between classes
12
Challenge
 Find label assignment
that results in a large margin
 Hard
 Convex relaxation – based on semidefinite
programming
