# svm module¶

The Support Vector Machine algorithm for classification.

This module implements the SVMClassifier class. A support vector machine (SVM) passes the data through a kernel in order to increase its dimension and thereby make the classes linearly separable.

## Dependence¶

The classifier relies on the SVC class of the scikit-learn library.

class gemseo.mlearning.classification.svm.SVMClassifier(data, transformer=None, input_names=None, output_names=None, C=1.0, kernel='rbf', probability=False, **parameters)[source]

The Support Vector Machine algorithm for classification.

Parameters
• data (Dataset) – The learning dataset.

• transformer (Mapping[str, TransformerType] | None) –

The strategies to transform the variables. The values are instances of Transformer while the keys are the names of either the variables or the groups of variables, e.g. “inputs” or “outputs” in the case of the regression algorithms. If a group is specified, the Transformer will be applied to all the variables of this group. If None, do not transform the variables.

By default it is set to None.

• input_names (Iterable[str] | None) –

The names of the input variables. If None, consider all the input variables of the learning dataset.

By default it is set to None.

• output_names (Iterable[str] | None) –

The names of the output variables. If None, consider all the output variables of the learning dataset.

By default it is set to None.

• C

The inverse L2 regularization parameter. Higher values give less regularization.

By default it is set to 1.0.

• kernel (str | Callable | None) –

The name of the kernel or a callable for the SVM. Examples: “linear”, “poly”, “rbf”, “sigmoid”, “precomputed” or a callable.

By default it is set to rbf.

• probability (bool) –

Whether to enable the probability estimates. The algorithm is faster if set to False.

By default it is set to False.

• **parameters (int | float | bool | str | None) – The parameters of the machine learning algorithm.

Raises

ValueError – When both the variable and the group it belongs to have a transformer.

learn(samples=None, fit_transformers=True)

Train the machine learning algorithm from the learning dataset.

predict(input_data, *args, **kwargs)

Evaluate ‘predict’ with either array or dictionary-based input data.

Firstly, the pre-processing stage converts the input data to a NumPy data array, if these data are expressed as a dictionary of NumPy data arrays.

Then, the processing evaluates the function ‘predict’ from this NumPy input data array.

Lastly, the post-processing transforms the output data to a dictionary of output NumPy data array if the input data were passed as a dictionary of NumPy data arrays.

Parameters
• input_data (Union[numpy.ndarray, Mapping[str, numpy.ndarray]]) – The input data.

• *args – The positional arguments of the function ‘predict’.

• **kwargs – The keyword arguments of the function ‘predict’.

Returns

The output data with the same type as the input one.

Return type

Union[numpy.ndarray, Mapping[str, numpy.ndarray]]

predict_proba(input_data, *args, **kwargs)

Evaluate ‘predict’ with either array or dictionary-based input data.

Firstly, the pre-processing stage converts the input data to a NumPy data array, if these data are expressed as a dictionary of NumPy data arrays.

Then, the processing evaluates the function ‘predict’ from this NumPy input data array.

Lastly, the post-processing transforms the output data to a dictionary of output NumPy data array if the input data were passed as a dictionary of NumPy data arrays.

Parameters
• input_data (Union[numpy.ndarray, Mapping[str, numpy.ndarray]]) – The input data.
