Support vector (SV) machines are useful tools to classify populations characterized by abrupt decreases in density functions. At least for one class of Gaussian data model the SV ...
I describe a framework for interpreting Support Vector Machines (SVMs) as maximum a posteriori (MAP) solutions to inference problems with Gaussian Process priors. This probabilisti...
We consider the question of why modern machine learning methods like support vector machines outperform earlier nonparametric techniques like kNN. Our approach investigates the lo...
The tutorial starts with an overview of the concepts of VC dimension and structural risk minimization. We then describe linear Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for separable and non-...
Parallel software for solving the quadratic program arising in training support vector machines for classification problems is introduced. The software implements an iterative dec...
