Multi Class SVM - File Exchange - MATLAB Central

This document describes a MATLAB file that implements multi-class classification using support vector machines (SVMs). The file allows modeling and classifying training and test data sets into more than two classes. It removes the native SVM restriction of binary classification. Usage and example code are provided.

File Inform ation


Description Support Vector Machines only classify data into tw o classes. This function removes that restriction by
"searching" for the correct class for each row in the test data set.
This code is a clarification and optimization of Anand Mishra's code found here:
http://w w w .mathw orks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/33170-multi-class-support-vector-machine
Use only w ith more than 2 classes, otherw ise use svmtrain() directly.
Usage Example:
%% SVM Multiclass Example
% SVM is inherently one vs one classification.
% This is an example of how to implement multiclassification using the
% one vs all approach.
TrainingSet=[ 1 10;2 20;3 30;4 40;5 50;6 66;3 30;4.1 42];
TestSet=[3 34; 1 14; 2.2 25; 6.2 63];
GroupTrain=[1;1;2;2;3;3;2;2];
results = multisvm(TrainingSet, GroupTrain, TestSet);
disp('multi class problem');
disp(results);

Sir is it possible for us to add w eights for the feature w ith this
code??? if so how to proceed w ith it..?

16 Feb 2013

Subha

Thank you sir.. now trying out w ith best possible combination...

If you are getting all 1s, you should try using different options for the
svmtrain function. for example:
options = statset('MaxIter',2000000);
models(k) = svmtrain(X_Train,G1vAll,'options',options,...
'kernel_function','rbf','rbf_sigma',16);

sir,
is it possible to plot confusion matrix for this program... if so how to do
tat.. w e have tried many combinations but does not w orking...
....
else any method to calculate the performance of the overall system
from test data's..

Subha

oh.. ok sir.. now its w orking.. thank a lot...

Ok, you are not using the function correctly.


load your .mat file, then pass your new variables as parameters to the
function.

Sir,
I've loaded data and w orked in 2 class problem. its w orks w ell...
this is my code.. i've just loaded the data and didnt change anything

more.
....
function [result] = multisvm(TrainingSet,GroupTrain,TestSet)
load TrainingSet
load GroupTrain
load TestSet
u=unique(GroupTrain);
numClasses=length(u);
result = zeros(length(TestSet(:,1)),1);
%build models
for k=1:numClasses
%Vectorized statement that binarizes Group
%w here 1 is the current class and 0 is all other classes
G1vAll=(GroupTrain==u(k))
models(k) = svmtrain(TrainingSet,G1vAll,'kernel_function','rbf');
end
%classify test cases
for j=1:size(TestSet,1)
for k=1:numClasses
if(svmclassify(models(k),TestSet(j,:)))
break;
end
end
result(j) = k;
end
w here,
training set is 16*4
test set is 4*4
grouptrain is 16*1
I'm using Matlab (R2010a)

It sounds like you need to learn how to load .mat files. Simply type
'load xxx.mat' w here xxx is the file name. You w ould then need to
sample your data into training, test, and label sets for use w ith this
function.
Can you show the code you are using?

Hello Sir,
Thanks for the code.. it w orks w ell w hen w e give data... but i'm
w orking w ith large set of data, w here i need to load it(.mat)..
I cant load data, if i do so then it show ing error message
??? Undefined function or variable 'GroupTrain'.
Error in ==> neuro_multisuport at 40
u=unique(GroupTrain);
w here grouptrain is a column vector(16*1) in .mat format
.. can u please suggest me how to modify the code w hen i load data...
