In lots of the recent academic literature, SVMs perform very well for text categorization. =head1 METHODS This class inherits from the C class, so all of its methods are available unless explicitly mentioned here. =head2 new() Creates a new SVM Learner and returns it. In addition to the parameters accepted by the C class, the SVM subclass accepts the following parameters: =over 4 =item svm_kernel Specifies what type of kernel should be used when building the SVM. Default is 'linear'. Possible values are 'linear', 'polynomial', 'radial' and 'sigmoid'. =back =head2 train(knowledge_set => $k) Trains the categorizer. This prepares it for later use in categorizing documents. The C parameter must provide an object of the class C (or a subclass thereof), populated with lots of documents and categories. See L for the details of how to create such an object. =head2 categorize($document) Returns an C object representing the categorizer's "best guess" about which categories the given document should be assigned to. See L for more details on how to use this object. =head2 save_state($path) Saves the categorizer for later use. This method is inherited from C. =head1 AUTHOR Ken Williams, ken@mathforum.org =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2000-2003 Ken Williams. All rights reserved.
