Sequential Minimum Optimization

p
"""
Sequential minimal optimization (SMO) for support vector machines (SVM)

Sequential minimal optimization (SMO) is an algorithm for solving the quadratic
programming (QP) problem that arises during the training of SVMs. It was invented by
John Platt in 1998.

Input:
    0: type: numpy.ndarray.
    1: first column of ndarray must be tags of samples, must be 1 or -1.
    2: rows of ndarray represent samples.

Usage:
    Command:
        python3 sequential_minimum_optimization.py
    Code:
        from sequential_minimum_optimization import SmoSVM, Kernel

        kernel = Kernel(kernel='poly', degree=3., coef0=1., gamma=0.5)
        init_alphas = np.zeros(train.shape[0])
        SVM = SmoSVM(train=train, alpha_list=init_alphas, kernel_func=kernel, cost=0.4,
                     b=0.0, tolerance=0.001)
        SVM.fit()
        predict = SVM.predict(test_samples)
