Support Vector Machines
• SVMs pick best separating hyperplane according to
some criterion
– e.g. maximum margin
• Training process is an optimisation
• Training set is effectively reduced to a relatively
small number of support vectors
6
Feature Spaces
• We may separate data by mapping to a higherdimensional feature space
– The feature space may even have an infinite
number of dimensions!
• We need not explicitly construct the new feature
space
7
Kernels
• We may use Kernel functions to implicitly map to a
new feature space
• Kernel fn:
K x1 , x2  R
• Kernel must be equivalent to an inner product in
some feature space

Perceptron Revisited: Linear Separators
• Binary classification can be viewed as the task of
separating classes in feature space:
wTx + b = 0
wTx + b > 0
wTx + b < 0
f(x) = sign(wTx + b)

18
Maximum Margin Classification
• Maximizing the margin is good according to intuition and
theory.
• Implies that only support vectors are important; other training
examples are ignorable.
19
Statistical Learning Theory
• Misclassification error and the function complexity
bound generalization error.
• Maximizing margins minimizes complexity.
• “Eliminates” overfitting.
• Solution depends only on Support Vectors not number
of attributes.
20
Margins and Complexity
Skinny margin
is more flexible
thus more complex.
21
Margins and Complexity
Fat margin
is less complex.
22
Linear SVM Mathematically
• Assuming all data is at distance larger than 1 from the
hyperplane, the following two constraints follow for a
training set {(xi ,yi)}
wTxi + b ≥ 1 if yi = 1
wTxi + b ≤ -1 if yi = -1
• For support vectors, the inequality becomes an
equality; then, since each example’s distance from the
• hyperplane is
wT x  b
r
w
the margin is:
2

w
23
Linear SVMs Mathematically (cont.)
• Then we can formulate the quadratic optimization problem:
Find w and b such that

2
w
is maximized and for all {(xi ,yi)}
wTxi + b ≥ 1 if yi=1; wTxi + b ≤ -1 if yi = -1
A better formulation:
Find w and b such that
Φ(w) =½ wTw is minimized and for all {(xi ,yi)}
yi (wTxi + b) ≥ 1
24
Solving the Optimization Problem
Find w and b such that
Φ(w) =½ wTw is minimized and for all {(xi ,yi)}
yi (wTxi + b) ≥ 1
• Need to optimize a quadratic function subject to linear constraints.
• Quadratic optimization problems are a well-known class of mathematical
programming problems, and many (rather intricate) algorithms exist for
solving them.
• The solution involves constructing a dual problem where a Lagrange
multiplier αi is associated with every constraint in the primary problem:
Find α1…αN such that
Q(α) =Σαi - ½ΣΣαiαjyiyjxiTxj is maximized and
(1) Σαiyi = 0
(2) αi ≥ 0 for all αi
25
The Optimization Problem Solution
• The solution has the form:
w =Σαiyixi
b= yk- wTxk for any xk such that αk 0
• Each non-zero αi indicates that corresponding xi is a support vector.
• Then the classifying function will have the form:
f(x) = ΣαiyixiTx + b
• Notice that it relies on an inner product between the test point x and the
support vectors xi – we will return to this later!
• Also keep in mind that solving the optimization problem involved
computing the inner products xiTxj between all training points!
26
Soft Margin Classification
• What if the training set is not linearly separable?
• Slack variables ξi can be added to allow misclassification of difficult or
noisy examples.

ξi
27
Soft Margin Classification Mathematically
• The old formulation:
Find w and b such that
Φ(w) =½ wTw is minimized and for all {(xi ,yi)}
yi (wTxi + b) ≥ 1
• The new formulation incorporating slack variables:
Find w and b such that
Φ(w) =½ wTw + CΣξi is minimized and for all {(xi ,yi)}
yi (wTxi + b) ≥ 1- ξi and ξi ≥ 0 for all i
• Parameter C can be viewed as a way to control overfitting.
28
Soft Margin Classification – Solution
• The dual problem for soft margin classification:
Find α1…αN such that
Q(α) =Σαi - ½ΣΣαiαjyiyjxiTxj is maximized and
(1) Σαiyi = 0
(2) 0 ≤ αi ≤ C for all αi
• Neither slack variables ξi nor their Lagrange multipliers appear in the dual
problem!
• Again, xi with non-zero αi will be support vectors.
• Solution to the dual problem is:
But neither w nor b are
needed explicitly for
w =Σαiyixi
classification!
b= yk(1- ξk) - wTxk where k = argmax αk
k
f(x) = ΣαiyixiTx + b
29
Theoretical Justification for Maximum Margins
• Vapnik has proved the following:
The class of optimal linear separators has VC dimension h bounded from
above as
 D 2 

h  min  2 , m0   1
  

where ρ is the margin, D is the diameter of the smallest sphere that can
enclose all of the training examples, and m0 is the dimensionality.
• Intuitively, this implies that regardless of dimensionality m0 we can
minimize the VC dimension by maximizing the margin ρ.
• Thus, complexity of the classifier is kept small regardless of
dimensionality.
30
Linear SVMs: Overview
• The classifier is a separating hyperplane.
• Most “important” training points are support vectors; they define the
hyperplane.
• Quadratic optimization algorithms can identify which training points xi are
support vectors with non-zero Lagrangian multipliers αi.
• Both in the dual formulation of the problem and in the solution training
points appear only inside inner products:
Find α1…αN such that
Q(α) =Σαi - ½ΣΣαiαjyiyjxiTxj is maximized and
(1) Σαiyi = 0
(2) 0 ≤ αi ≤ C for all αi
f(x) = ΣαiyixiTx + b
31
Non-linear SVMs
• Datasets that are linearly separable with some noise work out great:
x
0
• But what are we going to do if the dataset is just too hard?
x
0
• How about… mapping data to a higher-dimensional space:

33
Non-linear SVMs: Feature spaces
• General idea: the original feature space can always be mapped to some
higher-dimensional feature space where the training set is separable:
Φ: x → φ(x)
34
The “Kernel Trick”
• The linear classifier relies on inner product between vectors K(xi,xj)=xiTxj
• If every datapoint is mapped into high-dimensional space via some
transformation Φ: x → φ(x), the inner product becomes:
K(xi,xj)= φ(xi) Tφ(xj)
• A kernel function is some function that corresponds to an inner product into
some feature space.
• Example:
2-dimensional vectors x=[x1 x2]; let K(xi,xj)=(1 + xiTxj)2,
Need to show that K(xi,xj)= φ(xi) Tφ(xj):
K(xi,xj)=(1 + xiTxj)2,= 1+ xi12xj12 + 2 xi1xj1 xi2xj2+ xi22xj22 + 2xi1xj1 + 2xi2xj2=
= [1 xi12 √2 xi1xi2 xi22 √2xi1 √2xi2]T [1 xj12 √2 xj1xj2 xj22 √2xj1 √2xj2] =
= φ(xi) Tφ(xj), where φ(x) = [1 x12 √2 x1x2 x22 √2x1 √2x2]
35
36
Positive Definite Matrices
A square matrix A is positive definite if
xTAx>0 for all nonzero column vectors
x.
It is negative definite if xTAx < 0 for all
nonzero x.
It is positive semi-definite if xTAx  0.
And negative semi-definite if xTAx  0
for all x.
37
What Functions are Kernels?
• For some functions K(xi,xj) checking that K(xi,xj)= φ(xi) Tφ(xj) can be
cumbersome.
• Mercer’s theorem:
Every semi-positive definite symmetric function is a kernel
• Semi-positive definite symmetric functions correspond to a semi-positive
definite symmetric Gram matrix:
K(x1,x1)
K(x1,x2)
K(x1,x3)
K(x2,x1)
K(x2,x2)
K(x2,x3)
…
K(x1,xN)
K(x2,xN)
K=
…
…
…
…
…
K(xN,x1)
K(xN,x2)
K(xN,x3)
…
K(xN,xN)
38
Examples of Kernel Functions
• Linear: K(xi,xj)= xi Txj
• Polynomial of power p: K(xi,xj)= (1+ xi Txj)p
• Gaussian (radial-basis function network): K(xi,xj)= e

xi x j
2
2 2
• Two-layer perceptron: K(xi,xj)= tanh(β0xi Txj + β1)
39
Non-linear SVMs Mathematically
• Dual problem formulation:
Find α1…αN such that
Q(α) =Σαi - ½ΣΣαiαjyiyjK(xi, xj) is maximized and
(1) Σαiyi = 0
(2) αi ≥ 0 for all αi
• The solution is:
f(x) = ΣαiyiK(xi, xj)+ b
• Optimization techniques for finding αi’s remain the same!
40
SVM applications
• SVMs were originally proposed by Boser, Guyon and Vapnik in 1992 and
gained increasing popularity in late 1990s.
• SVMs are currently among the best performers for a number of
classification tasks ranging from text to genomic data.
• SVM techniques have been extended to a number of tasks such as
regression [Vapnik et al. ’97], principal component analysis [Schölkopf et
al. ’99], etc.
• Most popular optimization algorithms for SVMs are SMO [Platt ’99] and
SVMlight [Joachims’ 99], both use decomposition to hill-climb over a subset
of αi’s at a time.
• Tuning SVMs remains a black art: selecting a specific kernel and
parameters is usually done in a try-and-see manner.
