Theorem of SVM part 1

Introduction  

I will explain theorem of SVM.
Please look at my implementation of SVM.
Implement linear SVM
Implement kernel SVM
Today, I will explain about SVM until deriving the objective function.


Overview  
  • Generalized linear model  
  • Explain SVM
  • hard margin  
  • soft margin  



Generalized linear model  

SVM is used generalized linear model. Generalized linear model is following function
$$f(x) = w^T\phi(x) + b$$
b is called bias.
$$0 = w^T\phi(x) + b$$is hyper plane. This hyper plane separate two class of $\phi(x)$.
hyper plance is n-dimensional plane. if n = 1, hyper plane is line. if n = 2, hyper plane is normal plane.
$\phi(x)$ have effect of converting x to data which can be separated by a line.
image of $\phi(x)$ is



the left image has nonlinear data.
right image has linear data.
$\phi(x)$ convert from left image to right image.
I will handle $w^T \phi(x) + b$ as line in feature space.

Next, I will explain the object of SVM

Explain SVM
    the label is 1 or -1 in SVM. Let label is y $\in \{1,-1\}$. Let dataset is X.
    We want to make decisions function which $\forall x \in X$

    $$f(x_i) > 0 \implies y_i = 1 $$
    $$f(x_i) < 0 \implies y_i = -1$$

    Let f(x) is $w^T \phi(x) + b$, I will optimize w and b of parametor.
    However, optimization needs a standard of a good boundary. Its standard is magin. Next, I will explain hard margin.

    Hard margin
      SVM decide a boundary line by a value called margin.
      What is margin? I will explain.

      pick up data which exist nearest from $w^T \phi(x) +b = 0$. Margin is the distance between the data and $w^T \phi(x) +b = 0$.
      Look at following image of margin in 2-dimensional.



      this distance of green line is margin. SVM decide $w^T \phi(x) + b= 0$ to depend on only data which exist nearest from $w^T \phi(x) + b = 0$. This data called sopport vector.

      We decide w and b of the parameter by a maximum margin.

      Let dataset is X, $\forall x_i \in X$, distance between x and $w^T \phi(x) + b = 0$ is
      $$\frac{|w^T \phi(x_i) + b|}{||W||}$$

      Now, Assume linear hyperplane is enabled to complicately classify.


      this image is data which complicately separated hyperplane.

      this image is else data.

      Thus,
      $$f(x_i) > 0 \implies y_i = 1 $$
      $$f(x_i) < 0 \implies y_i = -1$$
      is complitely practical.

      Therefore,
      $$\forall i \in N,~~~~~~~y_i(w^T \phi(x_i) + b) > 0$$

      Therefore
      $$\frac{|w^T \phi(x_i) + b|}{||W||} = \frac{y(w^T \phi(x_i) + b)}{||W||}$$
      Next, Let $i_0$ as follow.

      $$\forall i_0 \in \arg_{n \in N} \min_{x \in X} \frac{|w^T \phi(x_n) + b|}{||W||}$$,
      Let M is
      $$M = y_{i_0}(w^T \phi(x_{i_0}) + b)$$
      Because $\forall i \in N,~y_i(w^T \phi(x_i) + b) > 0$, $M > 0$ is practical.

      M is value of distance between $w^T \phi(x) + b = 0$ and data which exist nearest $w^T \phi(x) + b = 0$

      The objective function in SVM is expressed as follow.

      $$\max_{w,b,M} \frac{M}{||W||}$$ $$~~s.t~~ \forall i \in N ~, y_i(w^T \phi(x_i) + b) \geq M$$

      Here, when $w^{\star}  = \frac{w}{M}, b^{\star}  = \frac{b}{M}$, the objective function is expressed as follow.
      $$\max_{w^{\star},b^{\star}} \frac{1}{||W^{\star}||}$$
      $$~~s.t~~ \forall i \in N, y_i (w^{\star} \phi(x_i) + b^{\star}) \geq 1$$

      I convert this from. because $||W^{\star}|| > 0$,
      $$\max_{w^{\star},b^{\star}} \frac{1}{||W^{\star}||}$$
      $$\iff \min_{w^{\star},b^{\star}}  ||W^{\star}||$$
      $$\iff \min_{w^{\star},b^{\star}}  ||W^{\star}||^2$$

      therefore, the objectice function in SVM is
      $$\min_{w,b}  ||W||^2$$
      $$~~s.t~~ \forall i \in N, y_i (w^T \phi(x_i) + b) \geq 1$$

      I define $W^{\star} = W, b^{\star} = b$ again.

      We assume data is completely separated by a hyperplane. This method is called hard margin.

      However this assumption is strict in the real world, so the soft margin is invented.
      Next, I will explain soft margin.

      Soft margin
        I introduce $\epsilon_i \geq 0$ the objective function.

        I loosen $\forall i \in N, y_i (w^T \phi(x_i) + b) \geq 1$. This condition is rewrited as follow.

        $$ \forall i \in N, y_i (w^T \phi(x_i) + b) \geq 1 - \epsilon_i$$

        if $x_i$ is beyond $w^T \phi(x) + b = 0$, $\epsilon_i > 0$ is practical.

        $x_5$ and $x_8$ and $x_9$ is beyond $w^T \phi(x) + b = 0$.
        This distance of black line is $\epsilon_i$

        I rewrite the objective function.
        $$\min_{w,b}  \frac{1}{2}||W||^2 + C\sum_{i \in N} \epsilon_i$$
        $$~~s.t~~ \forall i \in N, y_i (w^T \phi(x_i) + b) \geq 1 - \epsilon_i ,~~~~\epsilon \geq 0 , \forall i \in N$$

        C is called regulation parameter.
        This parameter is a hyperparameter, so We decide before computing SVM algorithm.
        C has the role which adjusts degree of suppression of misclassification.
        The smaller C is, The smaller effect of $\sum_{i \in N}\epsilon_i$ is. Thus, it is easy to accept misclassification. On the other hand, the bigger C is, The bigger effect of $\sum_{i \in N}\epsilon_i$ is.
        When $C = \infty$, It become hard margin.
