Operator Reference
add_sample_class_svm (Operator)
add_sample_class_svm
— Add a training sample to the training data of a support vector
machine.
Signature
Description
add_sample_class_svm
adds a training sample to the support
vector machine (SVM) given by SVMHandle
. The training
sample is given by Features
and Class
.
Features
is the feature vector of the sample, and
consequently must be a real vector of length NumFeatures
,
as specified in create_class_svm
. Class
is the
target of the sample, which must be in the range of 0 to
NumClasses
-1 (see create_class_svm
). In the special
case of 'novelty-detection' the class is to be set to 0 as
only one class is assumed.
Before the SVM can be trained with
train_class_svm
, training samples must be added to the
SVM with add_sample_class_svm
. The usage of support vectors
of an already trained SVM as training samples is described in
train_class_svm
.
The number of currently stored training samples can be queried with
get_sample_num_class_svm
. Stored training samples can be
read out again with get_sample_class_svm
.
Normally, it is useful to save the training samples in a file with
write_samples_class_svm
to facilitate reusing the samples
and to facilitate that, if necessary, new training samples can be
added to the data set, and hence to facilitate that a newly
created SVM can be trained with the extended data set.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
This operator modifies the state of the following input parameter:
During execution of this operator, access to the value of this parameter must be synchronized if it is used across multiple threads.
Parameters
SVMHandle
(input_control, state is modified) class_svm →
(handle)
SVM handle.
Features
(input_control) real-array →
(real)
Feature vector of the training sample to be stored.
Class
(input_control) number →
(integer / real)
Class of the training sample to be stored.
Result
If the parameters are valid the operator
add_sample_class_svm
returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If necessary,
an exception is raised.
