作者:

Highlights:

• Faster cutting plane algorithms with accelerated line search are proposed to solve linear SVM.

• It proposes a novel linear-time line search solver while the existing strategy spends O(m log  m) time.

• An optimized explicit piecewise linear function finding algorithm for multiclass linear SVM is derived.

• It can be proved to reduce the total SVM training time.

• Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
