• Abstract: Support vector machine (SVM) is a powerful machine learning algorithm to handle classification tasks. However, the classical SVM is developed for binary problems with the assumption of balanced datasets. Obviously, the multi-class imbalanced classification problems are more complex. In this paper, we propose an improved SVM via Differential Evolution (i-SVM-DE) method to deal with it. An improved SVM (i-SVM) model is proposed to handle the data imbalance by combining cost sensitive technique and separation margin modification in the constraints, which formalize a parameter optimization problem. By using one-versus-one (OVO) scheme, a multi-class problem is decomposed into a number of binary subproblems. A large optimization problem is formalized through concatenating the parameters in the binary subproblems. To find the optimal model effectively and learn the support vectors for each class simultaneously, an improved differential evolution (DE) algorithm is applied to solve this large optimization problem. Instead of the validation set, we propose the fitness functions to evaluate the learned model and obtain the optimal parameters in the search process of DE. A series of experiments are carried out to verify the benefits of our proposed method. The results indicate that i-SVM-DE is statistically superior by comparing with the other baseline methods.

  We tackle the general differentiable meta learning problem that is ubiquitous in modern deep learning. These problems are often formalized as Bi-Level optimizations (BLO) We introduce a novel perspective by turning a given BLO problem into a ii optimization, where the inner loss function becomes a smooth distribution, and the outer loss becomes an expected loss over the inner distribution.

Standard SVD treats the parameters within the matrix with equal importance, which is a simple but unrealistic assumption. We show that our method can perform better than current SOTA methods in neural-based language models.

  Solving optimization problems with unknown parameters requires learning a predictive model to predict the values of the unknown parameters and then solving the problem using these values. Recent work has shown that including the optimization problem as a layer in a complex training model pipeline results in predictions of iteration of unobserved decision making. We show that we can improve solution quality by learning a low-dimensional surrogate model of a large optimization problem.
