Multi-view learning with privileged weighted twin support vector machine

Ruxin Xu, Huiru Wang

Weighted twin support vector machines (WLTSVM) mines as much potential similarity information in samples as possible to improve the common short-coming of non-parallel plane classifiers. Compared with twin support vector machines (TWSVM), it reduces the time complexity by deleting the superfluous constraints using the inter-class K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Multi-view learning (MVL) is a newly developing direction of machine learning, which focuses on learning acquiring information from the data indicated by multiple feature sets. In this paper, we propose multi-view learning with privileged weighted twin support vector machines (MPWTSVM). It not only inherits the advantages of WLTSVM but also has its characteristics. Firstly, it enhances generalization ability by mining intra-class information from the same perspective. Secondly, it reduces the redundancy constraints with the help of inter-class information, thus improving the running speed. Most importantly, it can follow both the consensus and the complementarity principle simultaneously as a multi-view classification model. The consensus principle is realized by minimizing the coupling items of the two views in the original objective function. The complementary principle is achieved by establishing privileged information paradigms and MVL. A standard quadratic programming solver is used to solve the problem. Compared with multi-view classification models such as SVM-2K, MVTSVM, MCPK, and PSVM-2V, our model has better accuracy and classification efficiency. Experimental results on 45 binary data sets prove the effectiveness of our method.
