Mathematical programming for data classification: A short survey

Data classification problems have been intensively studied by several groups of researchers including computer scientists, statisticians, engineers, biologists. Within the context of widespread use of databases and the explosive growth in their sizes, “Big Data”, new challenges are introduced in order to permit to several organizations to take benefits and efficiently utilize their data. The main objective of this paper is to review main published works which propose mathematical programming approaches in order to solve data classification problems with Support Vector Machine (SVM).
