A Novel Smooth Support Vector Regression based on CHKS Function

This paper presents a new smooth approach to solve support vector regression (SVR). Based on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker complementary condition in optimization theory, a smooth unconstrained optimization model for SVR is built. Since the objective function of the unconstrained SVR model is non-smooth, we apply the smooth techniques and replace the epsilon-insensitive loss function by CHKS function. Newton-Armijo algorithm is used to solve the smooth CHKS-SSVR model. Primary numerical results illustrate that our proposed approach improves the regression performance and the learning efficiency.
