Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
This slim book is an excellent introduction to an exciting new field--the design and implementation of important new mathematical models as the optimising strategy for learning machines. The text deals clearly with both the concepts and the practical details of these models, and consistently steers away from the more speculative side of learning machines. At the same time, the authors never fail to communicate the wonder and excitement of working with the raw stuff of knowledge and impart a spark of intelligence to mechanisms.
An Introduction to Support Vector Machines is manifestly a text book, and as such leads the reader as a student through the concepts, history and implementation of kernel-based learning strategies, with plenty of pseudo-code examples, discussion and exercise questions (without answers), and the best modern bibliography of the subject available. The appendix attempts to summarise the background mathematics. It's thorough, accurate and useful as a reference: but it is not a tutorial, and may leave the novice reader with little training in set dynamics none the wiser. A well-rounded reader will sail through the intriguing first chapter, which discusses learning machines and techniques for teaching a machine (or computer program) to generalise. However chapter two, with its impenetrable conversation about "linear classification" replete with sigma notation and diagrams of "hyperplanes" may well discourage further reading. Excellent though this book is, the title is deceptive: it is indeed an "introduction"--but requires a fair background knowledge of automata and set theory.--Wilf Hey

For those who want to start working with support vectors machine, this is a concise, clear, and authoritative introduction. Brief historiographic-bibliographic sections at the end of each chapter help figuring out how concepts emerged in the literature. Recommendable!

A delightful book to learn support vector machines
12. April 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a first book introducing support vector learning, a very hot area in machine learning, data mining, and statistics. Aside from Burges (1998)'s tutorial article and Vapnik (1995)'s book, this book by two authors actively working in this field is a welcome addition which is likely to become a standard reference and a textbook among students and researchers who want to learn this important subject. Besides tutoring systematically on the standard theory such as large margin hyperplane, nonlinear kernel classifiers, and support vector regression, this book also deals with growing new areas in this field such as random processes. More interestingly, this book discusses a lot of applications which I consider very imoportant and healthy for the advance of this field, such as medical diagnosis, image analysis, and bioinformatics. In all, I strongly recommend this book for students, and young researchers who want to learn. I'm sure a lot of people will find this book a wise investment, since it provides a handy and timely review of a rapidly growing field.

More for mathematicians than computer scientist
20. September 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book introduces the concepts of kernel-based methods and focuses specifically on Support Vector Machines (SVM). It is hard to read and a good background in mathematic is clearly needed. The book has a strong emphasis on SVM starting from the very first line of text. Concepts are well explained, although equations are not clear. The notation doesn't facilitate the reading at all. The book covers linear as well as kernel learning. The kernel trick is well described. It is easy to understand ideas behind SVM while reading the corresponding chapter. Finally a small chapter on SVM applications is proposed. Unfortunately, it only contains typical SVM applications (i.e. standard problems).
I think this book is good if you:
* Have a strong mathematical background
* Work in the specific domain of SVM (or kernel-based methods in general)
* Want to write a research paper about SVM and need the correct notations
However, this book is NOT intended for people who:
* Don't like to read theorems, corollaries and remarks
* Are not interested in reading hundreds of proofs
This is my personal opinion as a computer scientist: this book is definitely written for mathematicians.

Cogent and Coherent
8. Juni 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I used to believe that the thicker the book, the greater the chance that I'd be able to learn something from it. This book by Cristianini and Shawe-Taylor is the complete opposite.
The book is clear and concise in it's development of the theory of SVMs, and is thorough in going through all relevant background material. Particularly useful is the section optimisation which is usually missing from statistical and computer science backgrounds.
Beware that this book is not for the mathematically shy. If you want to learn about SVMs and don't mind getting your teeth stuck into some serious (applied) maths, then this book is for you.
