Abstract: Productivity analysis is done on the new algorithm “Second Order Support Vector Machine (SOSVM)”, which could be thought as an offshoot of the popular SVM and based on its conventional QP version as well as the LP one. Our main goal is to produce a machine which is: 1) sparse & efficient; 2) powerful (kernel based) but not overfitted; 3) easily realizable. Experiments on benchmark data shows that to classify a new pattern, the proposed machine, SOSVM requires samples up to as little as 2.7% of original data set or 4.8% of conventional QP SVM or 48.3% of Vapnik’s LP SVM, which is already sparse. Despite this heavy test cost reduction, its classification accuracy is very similar to the most powerful QP SVM while being very simple to be produced. Moreover, two new terms called “Generalization Failure Rate (GFR)” and “Machine-Accuracy-Cost (MAC)” are defined to measure generalization-deficiency and accuracy-cost of a detector, respectively and used to compare such among different machines. Results show that our machine possesses GFR up to as little as 1.4% of the QP SVM or 1.5% of Vapnik’s LP SVM and MAC up to as little as 2.6% of the QP SVM or 35.9% of the Vapnik’s sparse LP SVM. Finally, having only two types of parameters to tune, this machine is straight forward and cheaper to be produced compared to the most popular & state-of-the-art machines in this direction. These collectively fulfill the three key goals that the machine is built for.
