This book provides an in-depth, easy-to-follow introduction to
support vector machines drawing only from minimal, carefully
motivated technical and mathematical background material. It begins
with a cohesive discussion of machine learning and goes on to
cover:
* Knowledge discovery environments
* Describing data mathematically
* Linear decision surfaces and functions
* Perceptron learning
* Maximum margin classifiers
* Support vector machines
* Elements of statistical learning theory
* Multi-class classification
* Regression with support vector machines
* Novelty detection
Complemented with hands-on exercises, algorithm descriptions,
and data sets, Knowledge Discovery with Support Vector
Machines is an invaluable textbook for advanced undergraduate
and graduate courses. It is also an excellent tutorial on support
vector machines for professionals who are pursuing research in
machine learning and related areas.
Lutz Hamel, PhD, teaches at the University of Rhode Island, where he founded the machine learning and data mining group. His major research interests are computational logic, machine learning, evolutionary computation, data mining, bioinformatics, and computational structures in art and literature.
