| Support Vector Machines for Pattern Classification, Second Edition [by Shigeo Abe ] |
 Support vector machines (SVMs), were originally formulated for two-class classification problems, and have been accepted as a powerful tool for developing pattern classification and function approximations systems. This book provides a unique perspective of the state of the art in SVMs by taking the only approach that focuses on classification rather than covering the theoretical aspects. The book clarifies the characteristics of two-class SVMs through their extensive analysis, presents various useful architectures for multiclass classification and function approximation problems, and discusses kernel methods for improving generalization ability of conventional neural networks and fuzzy systems. Ample illustrations, examples and computer experiments are included to help |
