Abstract
A novel Matrix Modular Support Vector Machine(MMSVM) classifier is proposed to partition a visual concept problem into many easier two-class problems.This MMSVM shows significant detection improvements on the ImageClef2008 VCDT task, with a relative reduction of 15% of the classification error, compared with usual SVMs.
