In the era of big data, an important weapon in a machine learning researcher's arsenal is a scalable Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. SVMs are extensively used for solving classification problems. Traditional algorithms for learning SVMs often scale super linearly with training set size which becomes infeasible very quickly for large data sets. In recent years, scalable algorithms have been designed which study the primal or dual formulations of the problem. This often suggests a way to…

Impact of Community Structure on Consensus Machine Learning
• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2020
There exists a critical level of community structure at which $\tau_\epsilon$ reaches a lower bound and is no longer limited by the presence of communities, and random matrix theory is used to analyze the effects of communities on $\lambda_2$ and consensus.
