dc.description.abstractTwo fundamental problems of machine learning, misclassification minimization [10,24,18] and feature selection, [25, 29, 14] are formulated as the minimization of a concave function on the polyhedral set. Other formulations of these problems utilize linear programs with equilibrium constraints [18, 1, 4, 3] which are generally intractable. In contrast, for the proposed concave minimization formulation, a successive linearization algorithm without stepsize terminates after a maximum average of 7 linear programs on problems with as many as 4192 points in 14 dimensional space the algorithm terminates at a stationary point or a global solution to the problem. Preliminary numerical results indicate that the proposed approach is quite effective and more efficient than other approaches.en
