Report: Large Scale Transductive SVM

Abstract: We show how the Concave-Convex Procedure can be applied to Transductive SVMs, which traditionally requires solving a combinatorial search problem. This provides for the first time a highly scalable algorithm in the nonlinear case. Detailed experiments verify the utility of our approach.
