Interface SVMKernel

All Known Implementing Classes:

CachingKernel, DiagonalAddKernel, DiagonalCachingKernel, LinearKernel, ListSumKernel, NestedKernel, NormalizingKernel, PolynomialKernel, RadialBaseKernel, SigmoidKernel, SparseVector.NormalizingKernel, SuffixTreeKernel

public interface SVMKernel

Kernel for support vector machines and related methods.

It is hoped that all implementations of SVMKernel will be serializable, as this will allow models to be stored and retrieved without inventing complex data formats.

Method Detail

evaluate

double evaluate(Object a,
              Object b)

Return the dot product of two vectors in an arbitrary feature space. In this implementation, the `vectors' can actually be arbitrary objects.
