Support Vector Machines are popular because of their high classification importance; this is the first book to focus the discussions on SVMs specifically to pattern classification.

From the Back Cover
Originally formulated for two-class classification problems, support vector machines (SVMs) are now accepted as powerful tools for developing pattern classification and function approximation systems. Recent developments in kernel-based methods include kernel classifiers and regressors and their variants, advancements in generalization theory, and various feature selection and extraction methods.
Providing a unique perspective on the state of the art in SVMs, with a particular focus on classification, this thoroughly updated new edition includes a more rigorous performance comparison of classifiers and regressors. In addition to presenting various useful architectures for multiclass classification and function approximation problems, the book now also investigates evaluation criteria for classifiers and regressors.
Topics and Features:
- Clarifies the characteristics of two-class SVMs through extensive analysis
- Discusses kernel methods for improving the generalization ability of conventional neural networks and fuzzy systems
- Contains ample illustrations, examples and computer experiments to help readers understand the concepts and their usefulness
- Includes performance evaluation using publicly available two-class data sets, microarray sets, multiclass data sets, and regression data sets (NEW)
- Examines Mahalanobis kernels, empirical feature space, and the effect of model selection by cross-validation (NEW)
- Covers sparse SVMs, an approach to learning using privileged information, semi-supervised learning, multiple classifier systems, and multiple kernel learning (NEW)
- Explores incremental training based batch training and active-set training methods, together with decomposition techniques for linear programming SVMs (NEW)
- Provides a discussion on variable selection for support vector regressors (NEW)
An essential guide on the use of SVMs in pattern classification, this comprehensive resource will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students, as well as professional developers.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
