In this work we investigate the use of a greedy training algorithm for the dual Penalized Logistic Regression Machine (dPLRM), and our target application is detection of broad class phonetic features. The use of a greedy training algorithm is meant to alleviate the infeasible memory and computational demands that arises during the learning phase when the amount of training data increases. We show that using only a subset of the training data, chosen in a greedy manner, we can achieve as good as or better performance as when using the full training set. We can also train dPLRMs using data sets that are significantly larger than what our current computational resources can accommodate when using non-greedy approaches.
