Detailed Description

template<class InputType = RealVector>
class shark::SvmLogisticInterpretation< InputType >

Maximum-likelihood model selection score for binary support vector machines.

: This class implements the maximum-likelihood based SVM model selection procedure presented in the article "Glasmachers and C. Igel. Maximum Likelihood Model Selection for 1-Norm Soft Margin SVMs with Multiple Parameters. IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2010." At this point, only binary C-SVMs are supported.

: This class implements an AbstactObjectiveFunction. In detail, it provides a differentiable measure of how well a C-SVM with given hyperparameters fulfills the maximum-likelihood score presented in the paper. This error measure can then be optimized for externally via gradient-based optimizers. In other words, this class provides a score, not an optimization method or a training algorithm. The C-SVM parameters have to be optimized with regard to this measure

train a number of SVMs in a cross-validation setting using the hyperparameters passed to this method. the output scores from all validations sets are then concatenated. together with the true labels, these scores can then be used to fit a sigmoid such that it becomes as good as possible a model for the class membership probabilities given the SVM output scores. This method returns the negative likelihood of the best fitting sigmoid, given a set of SVM hyperparameters.

Parameters

parameters the SVM hyperparameters to use for all C-SVMs
