Potential - Support Vector Machine

We offer a first implementation of the new P-SVM algorithm, a software for support vector classification, regression and feature extraction.

  • PSVM Documentation - Introduction to P-SVM and software features
  • PSVM Manual - Detailed description of all included software components and sample files
  • PSVM SMO Technical Report - Description of the algorithm used within the software
  • Software License - This software is published under the GNU General Public License

    Download, compile and tryout the software version 1.31(beta) (2008-05-25) with samples and documentation files:

  • psvm.tar.gz - compressed files as tar-file
  • psvm.zip - same files in zip format

    New features are:

  • 1.31: small bugfix for classification error output of command line version.
  • 1.3: Projection of data onto smallest rectangular containing the trainingdata is now optional (MATLAB: psvmpredict, psvmputnp; standalone: -normlimit)
  • 1.3: Balanced errors are now consistenly supported by psvm standalone version. (option -be)

    Version 1.31 from 2007-02-13: psvm.tar.gz - psvm.zip

    Version 1.3 from 2007-11-19: psvm13.tar.gz - psvm13.zip

    Version 1.2 from 2007-02-13: psvm12.tar.gz - psvm12.zip

    Version 1.1 from 2006-06-21: psvm11.tar.gz - psvm11.zip

    Version 1.0 from 2005-09-27: psvm10.zip

  • A free windows unzip software can be found here.
  • To take advantage of all functions of the software, GNU-Plot is needed. Click on ftp-server or a mirror and for Windows select a W32 version, and for Unix and Linux based system select a tar.gz file.
  • One additional dataset ARCENE.zip is referenced in the sample section of the software.
  • The SVM implementation libsvm is also referenced in the software, but not required.
