Dear all, in the OSCL-meeting next tuesday, I will introduce into Support Vector Machines and present the results of my first experiments with SVMs. A very nice introduction to SVMs can be found in chapter 7 of the book "Learning with Kernels" written by Bernhard Schölkopf. It is available on the net at: http://www.learning-with-kernels.org/sections/section71.pdf http://www.learning-with-kernels.org/sections/section72.pdf http://www.learning-with-kernels.org/sections/section73.pdf http://www.learning-with-kernels.org/sections/section74.pdf http://www.learning-with-kernels.org/sections/section75.pdf http://www.learning-with-kernels.org/sections/section76.pdf http://www.learning-with-kernels.org/sections/section78.pdf As first experiment I am trying to do topological field chunking with SVMs. If you don't know Jorn's, Frank's and Tylman's work and paper on it, please read http://www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~fhm/Biblio/CoNLL02-23.ps Hard copies of these papers can also be found in the seminarordner in the 'Mutterhaus'.
