Abstract

We present the convergence demonstration of the Iterative Re-Weighted Least Squares (IRWLS) procedure to the SVM solution, to propose two modifications, which significantly reduces the runtime complexity of the IRWLS. We show by means of computer experiments that the convergence can be speed up between two and eight times compare to the standard IRWLS procedure.
