Abstract
With the increasing demand for robust and resilient machine learning models, support vector machines (SVMs) are regaining attention. One of the significant problems in SVMs is finding the support vectors as soon as possible during the optimization process. This paper describes a methodology to accelerate the training by making certain assumptions on the data and find the support vectors near the convex hull of every class group. Results suggest that the methodology can provide an advantage over traditional training for larger datasets with specific statistical properties. We focus on the particular case of support vector machines for regression.
