Theory and Applications of Models of Computation ; 16th International Conference, TAMC 2020, Changsha, China, October 18–20, 2020, Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th Annual Conference on Theory and Applications of Models of Computation, TAMC 2020, held in Changsha, China, in October 2020. The 37 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 83 submissions. The main themes of the selected papers are computability, complexity, algorithms, information theory and their extensions to machine learning theory and foundations of artificial intelligence.
Support Vector Machines
Explains the principles that make support vector machines (SVMs) a successful modelling and prediction tool for a variety of applications. The authors present the basic ideas of SVMs together with the latest developments and current research questions in a unified style. They identify three reasons for the success of SVMs: their ability to learn well with only a very small number of free parameters, their robustness against several types of model violations and outliers, and their computational efficiency compared to several other methods.The book provides a unique in-depth treatment of both fundamental and recent material on SVMs that so far has been scattered in the literature. The book can thus serve as both a basis for graduate courses and an introduction for statisticians, mathematicians, and computer scientists. It further provides a valuable reference for researchers working in the field.The book covers all important topics concerning support vector machines such as: loss functions and their role in the learning process; reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and their properties; a thorough statistical analysis that uses both traditional uniform bounds and more advanced localized techniques based on Rademacher averages and Talagrand's inequality; a detailed treatment of classification and regression; a detailed robustness analysis; and a description of some of the most recent implementation techniques.
