Approximate linear separation of non-separable sets minimize XN i=1 max{0,1−si(aTvi+b)} • penalty 1−si(aT i vi+b)for misclassifying point vi • can be interpreted as a heuristic for minimizing #misclassified points • a piecewise-linear minimization problem with variables a, b Piecewise-linear optimization 2–21
