  2. The objective in kernel learning is to jointly learn both SVM and kernel parameters from training data. • Kernel parameterizations • Linear : • Non-linear : • Regularizers • Sparse l1 • Sparse and non-sparse lp>1 • Log determinant Kernel Learning

  3. P = Minw,b,d ½ • s. t. • and exist and are continuous The GMKL Primal Formulation

  4. The GMKL primal formulation for binary classification. • P= Minw,b,d, 𝜉 ½ • s. t. • & • Intermediate Dual • D= MindMax 1t – ½tYKdY + r(d) • s. t. 1tY = 0 • 0    C & The GMKL Primal Formulation

  5. Outer loop: MindW(d) • s. t. • Inner loop: Max 1t – ½tYKdY+ r(d) • W(d)= s. t. 1tY = 0 • 0   C • [Chapelleet al. MLJ 2002]. • can be obtained using a standard SVM solver. • Optimized using Projected Gradient Descent (PGD). Wrapper Method for Optimizing GKML

  6. Projected Gradient Descent

  7. PGD requires many function and gradient evaluations as • No step size information is available. • The Armijo rule might reject many step size proposals. • Inaccurate gradient values can lead to many tiny steps. • Noisy function and gradient values can cause PGD to converge to points far away from the optimum. • Solving SVMs to high precision to obtain accurate function and gradient values is very expensive. • Repeated projection onto the feasible set might also be expensive. PGD Limitations

  8. Quadratic approximation : ½ • Spectral step length : SPG Solution – Spectral Step Length Original Function Approximation

  9. Spectral step length : SPG Solution – Spectral Step Length

  10. Handling function and gradient noise. • Non-monotone rule: SPG Solution – Non-Monotone Rule

  11. SPG PGD SPG Solution – SVM Precision Tuning 0.5 hr 3 hr 0.2 hr 0.3 hr 2hr 0.1 hr 1hr 0.1 hr

  12. SPG requires fewer function and gradient evaluations due to • The 2nd order spectral step length estimation. • The non-monotone line search criterion. • SPG is more robust to noisy function and gradient values due to the non-monotone line search criterion. • SPG never needs to solve an SVM with high precision due to our precision tuning strategy. • SPG needs to perform only a single projection per step. SPG Advantages
