The time complexity of support vector machines (SVMs) prohibits training on huge data sets with millions of data points. Recently, multilevel approaches to train SVMs have been developed to allow for time-efficient training on huge data sets. While regular SVMs perform the entire training in one -- time consuming -- op…
