A one-layer recurrent neural network for support vector machine learning

This paper presents a one-layer recurrent neural network for support vector machine (SVM) learning in pattern classification and regression. The SVM learning problem is first converted into an equivalent formulation, and then a one-layer recurrent neural network for SVM learning is proposed. The proposed neural network is guaranteed to obtain the optimal solution of support vector classification and regression. Compared with the existing two-layer neural network for the SVM classification, the proposed neural network has a low complexity for implementation. Moreover, the proposed neural network can converge exponentially to the optimal solution of SVM learning. The rate of the exponential convergence can be made arbitrarily high by simply turning up a scaling parameter. Simulation examples based on benchmark problems are discussed to show the good performance of the proposed neural network for SVM learning.
