Cascade Jump Support Vector Machine Classifiers

In this paper we present a new support vector machine (SVM) based classifier that is able to achieve better generalization as compared to the standard SVM. Better generalization is achieved by using a cascade of modified proximal SVMs to remove simpler examples before presenting the difficult examples to a more complex SVM. The cascade structure uses the discrimination afforded by different feature spaces (by using different kernels) to simplify the classification task
