Abstract:
A method is proposed which computes a direction in a dataset such
that a specied fraction of a particular class of all examples is separated
from the overall mean by a maximal margin The pro jector onto that
direction can be used for classspecic feature extraction The algorithm
is carried out in a feature space associated with a support vector kernel
function hence it can be used to construct a large class of nonlinear fea
ture extractors In the particular case where there exists only one class
the method can be thought of as a robust form of principal component
analysis where instead of variance we maximize percentile thresholds Fi
nally we generalize it to also include the possibility of specifying negative
examples
