# SVMs in Julia

Native Julia implementations of standard SVM algorithms.

Currently, there are textbook style implementations of

two popular linear SVM algorithms:

* Pegasos (Shalev-Schwartz et al., 2007)

* Dual Coordinate Descent (Hsieh et al., 2008)

The `svm` function is a wrapper for `pegasos`, but it is

possible to call `cddual` explicitly. See the source code

for the hyperparameters of the `cddual` function.

# Usage

The demo below shows how SVMs work:

```julia

# To show how SVMs work, we'll use Fisher's iris data set

using SVM

using RDatasets

# We'll learn to separate setosa from other species

iris = dataset("datasets", "iris")

# SVM format expects observations in columns and features in rows

X = array(iris[:, 1:4])'

p, n = size(X)

# SVM format expects positive and negative examples to +1/-1

Y = [species == "setosa" ? 1.0 : -1.0 for species in iris[:Species]]

# Select a subset of the data for training, test on the rest.

train = randbool(n)

# We'll fit a model with all of the default parameters

model = svm(X[:,train], Y[train])

# And now evaluate that model on the testset

accuracy = countnz(predict(model, X[:,~train]) .== Y[~train])/countnz(~train)

```

You may specify non-default values for the various parameters:

```julia

# The algorithm processes minibatches of data of size k

model = svm(X, Y, k = 150)

# Weight regularization is controlled by lambda

model = svm(X, Y, lambda = 0.1)

# The algorithm performs T iterations

model = svm(X, Y, T = 1000)

```
