Abstract

Given two sets R and B of n points in the plane, we present efficient algorithms to find a two-line linear classifier that best separates the "red" points in R from the "blue" points in B and is robust to outliers. More precisely, we find a region 𝒲_B bounded by two lines, so either a halfplane, strip, wedge, or double wedge, containing (most of) the blue points B, and few red points. Our running times vary between optimal O(nlog n) up to around O(n³), depending on the type of region 𝒲_B and whether we wish to minimize only red outliers, only blue outliers, or both.
