In practice, the circumstance that training and test data are clean is
not always satisfied. The performance of existing methods in the learning using
privileged information (LUPI) paradigm may be seriously challenged, due to the
lack of clear strategies to address potential noises in the data. This paper
proposes a novel Robust SVM+ (RSVM+) algorithm based on a rigorous theoretical analysis.
Under the SVM+ framework in the LUPI paradigm, we study the lower bound of
perturbations of both example feature data and privileged feature data, which
will mislead the model to make wrong decisions. By maximizing the lower bound, tolerance
of the learned model over perturbations will be increased. Accordingly, a novel
regularization function is introduced to upgrade a variant form of SVM+. The
objective function of RSVM+ is transformed into a quadratic programming
problem, which can be efficiently optimized using off-the-shelf solvers.
Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the necessity of studying robust
SVM+ and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
