There was some discussion along these lines last year, but I don't think anyone has worked on it yet. Scikit-learn doesn't currently have the ability to do manifold learning from a precomputed distance matrix, but it could be extended to that pretty easily. What it would take would be to modif

[Scikit-learn-general] Isomap with more general inputs

2012-04-06 Thread Anthony Bak
I'd like to use isomap (and other manifold learning techniques) with abstract metric spaces (and perhaps more generally similarity and dissimilarity matricies - but we can put that aside for the moment). It looks to me like isomap assumes points are described by points in R^N or some data structure

Hi Shankar I am also following the PGM class and I would like to stress out that the way they implement all the factor operations feels to me to be by no means efficient, way too much random memory indexing. However the class seems very insightful, maybe after it ends we will be illuminated as

Hey Shankar, I respect your decision: it is better for everyone to have less applications, but well-though out. What you are learning as you go could help setting up a serious application for next year, hopefully. Thanks for keeping us updated. Gael On Fri, Apr 06, 2012 at 09:41:40PM +0800, Sha

LinearSVC doesn't provide it as far as I can tell, however sklearn.svm.SVC, which does allow you to set 'probability=True' - which enables probability estimates This must be done before calling predict_proba. http://scikit-learn.org/dev/modules/generated/sklearn.svm.SVC.html#sklearn.svm.SVC J 2
