Hi everybody, As usual, there are many differing predictions on whether or not SVM's will work better than other algorithms. I hate speculating without data, so I've put together a simple experiment involving predicting webserver fetch times for 30 different RFC's of varying lengths. You can see the details at
http://homepages.cwi.nl/~cilibrar/ngrouting/ I invite you all to play around with these programs, particularly trying to tweak the decaying averaging parameters to get better results, or even rerun the whole experiment with data samples from your location. My interpretation is that SVM's outperform two different obvious "binned" decaying average techniques considerably, by 40% or more. I think these results suggest that the SVM approach may actually be very much more powerful than what is currently in use. I can't wait to integrate this prediction system into the Freenet code proper, as I suspect it will increase overall throughput measurably.
