There are three Jira issues about it: Mahout-14<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-14> and Mahout-334 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-334> have been closed as won't fix. Mahout-232<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-232> was assigned later because some code was contributed early (2009) but it did not work so it was not incorporated into Mahout. Since then Mahout has changed, so porting the code would be difficult, and if you look at the issue there is some disagreement about whether it approaches the problem in the best way.
There is some code for a cascadeSVM implementation<https://code.google.com/p/cascadesvm/> but the training part - the hard part - was never published. There is a parallel SVM implementation <https://code.google.com/p/psvm/> that runs on MPI rather than Hadoop. This San Francisco Meetup abstract<http://www.meetup.com/sfmachinelearning/events/116497192/> has some discussion of current state of the art and issues for parallel SVM. 2013/11/8 unmesha sreeveni <[email protected]> > Do we have an SVM implementation? > > -- > *Thanks & Regards* > > Unmesha Sreeveni U.B > > *Junior Developer* > > *Amrita Center For Cyber Security * > > > * Amritapuri.www.amrita.edu/cyber/ <http://www.amrita.edu/cyber/>* >
