SVM Classifier Released On Amazon Ec2
We are very excited to announce a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification algorithm available on our free public cloud machine as well as free public AMI. It is a 2-class classifier which implements the SMO optimization algorithm. The salient features are as follows:
- Implements 2 class Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO)
- Uses 1305 file formant and thus can handle categorical and sparse data formats
- Generated models can be saved and used for classification at any time
- Offers 2nd order working set selection and caching techniques for speed
Our benchmarks beat the popular LibSVM and SVM-Light tools for standard problems from the UCI machine learning datasets repository. Please find documentation and samples on how to run the SVM here.
