The Huller: A simple and efficient online SVM

Abstract

We propose a novel online kernel classifier algorithm that converges to the Hard Margin SVM solution. The same update rule is used to both add and remove support vectors from the current classifier. Experiments suggest that this algorithm matches the SVM accuracies after a single pass over the training examples. This algorithm is attractive when one seeks a competitive classifier with large datasets and limited computing resources. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
