I've read some introduction about different kernels for SVM. It seems RBF is a measure of point distance while the basic kernel (i.e. no kernel) splits the space by hyper-planes. I could imagine that for a mix of features, some features should be treated with RBF and some with the basic kernnel. Is it possible use RBF for some features and the basic vector product for the other features? |

That's a really interesting idea! I've done some work with ensemble classifiers that treats different samples with a particular classifier, depending on the confidence level of each, but never at the feature level. Off the top of my head, I think it makes the most since to just do what you're describing at the classification level--classify each sample with both classifiers, and accept the answer of the most-confident one. I'm not sure how it would work at the feature level, as you describe, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts! Do you use a standard classification package (e.g., Weka), or have you coded your own pipeline? In my experience, these sorts of outside the box ideas are much easier to do with a system you've coded from the ground up. It gives you a much better grasp of the plumbing connecting the different components of the framework. |
