Fast training of support vector machines using sequential minimal optimization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new algorithm for training Support Vector Machines (SVM) called SMO (Sequential Minimal Optimization), which breaks this large QP problem into a series of smallest possible QP problems.

Supplementary information for "Quantum supremacy using a programmable superconducting processor"

TL;DR: In this paper, an updated version of supplementary information to accompany "Quantum supremacy using a programmable superconducting processor", an article published in the October 24, 2019 issue of Nature, is presented.

Williamson, estimating the support of a high-dimensional distribution

TL;DR: The algorithm is a natural extension of the support vector algorithm to the case of unlabeled data by carrying out sequential optimization over pairs of input patterns and providing a theoretical analysis of the statistical performance of the algorithm.

Estimating the Support of a High-Dimensional Distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to estimate a function f that is positive on S and negative on the complement of S. The functional form of f is given by a kernel expansion in terms of a potentially small subset of the training data; it is regularized by controlling the length of the weight vector in an associated feature space.
