An SMO Approach to Fast SVM for Classification of Large Scale Data

In this paper, a novel approach is proposed as a new fast Support Vector Machines (SVM) basing on sequential minimal optimization(SMO), minimum enclosing ball(MEB) approach and active set strategy. The combination with these 3 techniques largely accelerates the training process of SVM, attains fewer support vectors(SVs) as well as obtains a acceptable accuracy comparing to original SVM. From simulation results, it is stated that the proposed method will be a good alternative for classification of large scale data.
