SV Estimation of a Distribution's Support

 Bernhard Schölkopf, Robert C. Williamson and John Shawe-Taylor
  
 

Abstract:
Suppose you are given some dataset drawn from an underlying probability distribution P and you want to estimate a subset S of input space such that the probability that a test point drawn from P lies outside of S is bounded by some a priori specified 0 v < 1. We propose an algorithm which approaches this problem by trying to estimate a function f which is positive on S and negative on the complement. The functional form of f is given by a kernel expansion in terms of a potentially small subset of the training data; it is regularized by controlling the length of the weight vector in an associated feature space. The algorithm is a natural extension of the support vector algorithm to the case of unlabelled data.
