How to effectively extend them for multiclass classification is still an ongoing research topic. A multiclass classifier is constructed by combining SVM^light algorithm with directed acyclic graph SVM （DAGSVM） method, named DAGSVM^light A new method is proposed to select the working set which is identical to the working set selected by SVM^light approach. Experimental results indicate DAGSVM^light is competitive with DAGSMO. It is more suitable for practice use. It may be an especially useful tool for large-scale multiclass classification problems and lead to more widespread use of SVMs in the engineering community due to its good performance.展开更多

It causes a bias on the training of classifiers and results in lower accuracy of minority classes prediction. This problem has attracted a lot of research interests in the past decade. Unfortunately, most research efforts only concentrate on 2-class problems. In this paper, we study a new method of formulating a multiclass Support Vector Machine （SVM） problem for imbalanced biomedical data to improve the classification performance. The proposed method applies cost-sensitive approach and ramp loss function to the Crammer and Singer multiclass SVM formulation. Experimental results on multiple biomedical datasets show that the proposed solution can effectively cure the problem when the datasets are noisy and highly imbalanced.展开更多
