Among other matters, Mahesh showed us the following Java applet which lets us visualize SVMs :
http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~gcaron/SVMApplet/SVMApplet.html This was very nice, and quite helpful. Also, we worked our way through the Domain Kernels for WSD paper, and have come up with some questions for the authors that Mahesh has communicated. In terms of coming to understand the Domain Kernel for WSD paper, it seems like some of the work on "Latent Semantic Kernels" is particularly relevant, and might be helpful as background information. For example, the following ICML-2001 paper seems quite central: @inproceedings{ cristianini01latent, author = "Nello Cristianini and John Shawe-Taylor and Huma Lodhi", title = "Latent Semantic Kernels", booktitle = "Proceedings of {ICML}-01, 18th International Conference on Machine Learning", publisher = "Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, San Francisco, US", address = "Williams College, US", editor = "Carla Brodley and Andrea Danyluk", pages = "66--73", year = "2001", url = "citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cristianini01latent.html" } Enjoy, Ted ------------------------ Yahoo!
