Classification Using Geometric Level Sets

چکیده

A variational level set method is developed for the supervised classification problem. Nonlinear classifier decision boundaries are obtained by minimizing an energy functional that is composed of an empirical risk term with a margin-based loss and a geometric regularization term new to machine learning: the surface area of the decision boundary. This geometric level set classifier is analyzed in terms of consistency and complexity through the calculation of its ε-entropy. For multicategory classification, an efficient scheme is developed using a logarithmic number of decision functions in the number of classes rather than the typical linear number of decision functions. Geometric level set classification yields performance results on benchmark data sets that are competitive with well-established methods.

Classification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions

Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...

A geometric measure-type regularity criterion for solutions to the 3D Navier–Stokes equations

A local anisotropic geometric measure-type condition on the super-level sets of solutions to the 3D NSE preventing the formation of a finite-time singularity is presented; essentially, local one-dimensional sparseness of the regions of intense fluid activity in a very weak sense. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35,76
