Julia Package of the Bayesian Support Vector Machines Algorithm

!!! A MORE GENERAL AND EFFICIENT GP PACKAGE EXISTS NOW AT AugmentedGaussianProcesses.jl (INCLUDING BSVM) !!!

BayesianSVM.jl

This repository contains the Julia package for the Bayesian SVM algorithm described in the paper "Bayesian Nonlinear Support Vector Machines for Big Data" by Florian Wenzel, Théo Galy-Fajou, Matthäus Deutsch and Marius Kloft

Requirements

The BayesianSVM only works for version of Julia > 0.6. Other necessary packages will automatically be added in the installation. It is also possible to run the package from Python, to do so please check Pyjulia. If you prefer to use R you have the possibility to use RJulia All these is a bit technical due to the fact that Julia is still a young package

Installation

To install the last version of the package in Julia run

Pkg.clone("git://github.com/theogf/BayesianSVM.jl.git")

Running the Algorithm

Here are the basic steps for using the algorithm :

using BayesianSVM
Model = BSVM(X_training,y_training)
Model.Train()
y_predic = sign.(Model.Predict(X_test))
y_uncertaintypredic = Model.PredictProb(X_test)

Where X_training should be a matrix of size NSamples x NFeatures, and y_training should be a vector of 1 and -1
