Single Class Universum-SVM
share
This paper extends the idea of Universum learning [1, 2] to single-class learning problems. We propose Single Class Universum-SVM setting that incorporates a priori knowledge (in the form of additional data samples) into the single class estimation problem. These additional data samples or Universum belong to the same application domain as (positive) data samples from a single class (of interest), but they follow a different distribution. Proposed methodology for single class U-SVM is based on the known connection between binary classification and single class learning formulations [3]. Several empirical comparisons are presented to illustrate the utility of the proposed approach.
