To every nearly convex optimization problem, that is a minimization problem with a nearly convex objective function and a nearly convex constraint set, we associate a uniquely defined convex optimization problem with a lower semicontinuous…

We consider the problem of learning support vector machines robust to uncertainty. It has been established in the literature that typical loss functions, including the hinge loss, are sensible to data perturbations and outliers, thus…

There are several concepts and definitions that characterize and give optimality conditions for solutions of a vector optimization problem. One of the most important is the first-order necessary optimality condition that generalizes the…

Multivariate data analysis techniques have the potential to improve physics analyses in many ways. The common classification problem of signal/background discrimination is one example. The Support Vector Machine learning algorithm is a…

We introduce a new class of convex-regularized Optimal Transport losses, which generalizes the classical Entropy-regularization of Optimal Transport and Sinkhorn divergences, and propose a generalized Sinkhorn algorithm. Our framework…

Adversarial examples bring a considerable security threat to support vector machines (SVMs), especially those used in safety-critical applications. Thus, robustness verification is an essential issue for SVMs, which can provide provable…

We formulate the Multiple Kernel Learning (abbreviated as MKL) problem for the support vector machine with the infamous $(0,1)$-loss function. Some first-order optimality conditions are given and then exploited to develop a fast ADMM solver…

Robust Support Vector Machines (R-SVMs) address feature noise by adopting a worst-case robust formulation that explicitly incorporates uncertainty sets into training. While this robustness improves reliability, it also leads to increased…

Sensor networks play a critical role in many situational awareness applications. In this paper, we study the problem of determining sensor placements to balance coverage and connectivity objectives over a target region. Leveraging algebraic…

Second-order optimality conditions for vector nonlinear programming problems with inequality constraints are studied in this paper. We introduce a new second-order constraint qualification, which includes Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint…

Support vector machines (SVMs) are an important tool in modern data analysis. Traditionally, support vector machines have been fitted via quadratic programming, either using purpose-built or off-the-shelf algorithms. We present an…

We provide a formulation for Local Support Vector Machines (LSVMs) that generalizes previous formulations, and brings out the explicit connections to local polynomial learning used in nonparametric estimation literature. We investigate the…

The Support Vector Machine (SVM) of Vapnik (1998) has become widely established as one of the leading approaches to pattern recognition and machine learning. It expresses predictions in terms of a linear combination of kernel functions…

Koopman operators provide tractable means of learning linear approximations of non-linear dynamics. Many approaches have been proposed to find these operators, typically based upon approximations using an a-priori fixed class of models.…

Optimal damping aims at determining a vector of damping coefficients $\nu$ that maximizes the decay rate of a mechanical system's response. This problem can be formulated as the minimization of the trace of the solution of a Lyapunov…

In this paper, the problem of finding optimal success probabilities of static linear optics quantum gates is linked to the theory of convex optimization. It is shown that by exploiting this link, upper bounds for the success probability of…

In this article, a large dimensional performance analysis of kernel least squares support vector machines (LS-SVMs) is provided under the assumption of a two-class Gaussian mixture model for the input data. Building upon recent advances in…

In this paper we promote the use of Support Vector Machines (SVM) as a machine learning tool for searches in high-energy physics. As an example for a new- physics search we discuss the popular case of Supersymmetry at the Large Hadron…

This paper proposes low-complexity algorithms for finding approximate second-order stationary points (SOSPs) of problems with smooth non-convex objective and linear constraints. While finding (approximate) SOSPs is computationally…

Support Vector Machine (SVM) stands out as a prominent machine learning technique widely applied in practical pattern recognition tasks. It achieves binary classification by maximizing the "margin", which represents the minimum distance…
