Subject: SVM-light: new version and book

a new version of SVM-Light (V5.00) is available, as well as my dissertation "Learning to Classify Text using Support Vector Machines", which recently appeared with Kluwer.

The new version can be downloaded from

http://svmlight.joachims.org/

SVM-Light is an implementation of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for large-scale problems. The new features of this version are the following:

  • Learning of ranking functions (e.g. for search engines), in addition to classification and regression.
  • Bug fixes and improved numerical stability.
The dissertation describes the algorithms and methods implemented in SVM-light. In particular, it shows how these methods can be used for text classification. Links are on my homepage
