Machine Learning Summer School 2006 - Taipei

Support Vector Machines

author: Chih-Jen Lin, National Taiwan University

Description

Support vector machines (SVM) and kernel methods are important machine learning techniques. In this short course, we will introduce their basic concepts. We then focus on the training and optimization procedures of SVM. Examples demonstrating the practical use of SVM will also be discussed. Basically we focus on classification. If time is allowed, we will also touch SVM regression.

Excellent explanation of concepts and issues. Thank you!


Comment3 peerasak, July 16, 2007 at 5:59 a.m.:

It is a very nice lecture.


Comment4 Giorgio, September 25, 2007 at 9:35 p.m.:

Bizarre typo up there... If they are NOT important, why teach them? :)

"Support vector machines (SVM) and kernel methods are not important machine learning techniques"

Giorgio... Thanks, I've fixed the typo.


Comment6 roywwcheng, November 28, 2007 at 6:09 p.m.:

As one core developer of LIBSVM, Lin has introduced full and accurate practical issues of SVM in this talk.

Thanks a lot.


Comment7 yong kassian, January 20, 2008 at 8:19 a.m.:

As a core Machine learning tool Lin has introduce a full and practical lectures in his talk on the SVM . I like it
Thanks


Comment8 sss, April 7, 2008 at 3:21 a.m.:

nice talk,
it is really good


Comment9 tucooooo, June 19, 2008 at 8:22 p.m.:

really great ! it s always better to ear explanations than reading a short paper...
Thank you.


Comment10 mrg, June 27, 2008 at 11:44 a.m.:

Very hard to understand, not very structured and poor articulation... The lecture of Colin Campbell on SVM is way better!

Still, thanks for having these videos available!

it is very good.I need this right now.typical Chinese accent.
thanks a lot!!!
