Training Dataset Curation by L-Norm Principal-Component Analysis for Support Vector Machines.

Support vector machines (SVMs) have been the learning model of choice in numerous classification applications. While SVMs are widely successful in real-world deployments, they remain susceptible to mislabeled examples in training datasets where the presence of few faults can severely affect decision boundaries, thereby affecting the model's performance on unseen data. In this brief, we develop and describe in implementation detail a novel method based on $L_{1}$ -norm principal-component data analysis and geometry that aims to filter out atypical data instances on a class-by-class basis before the training phase of SVMs and thus provide the classifier with robust support-vector candidates for making classification boundaries.
