Proper choice of C and gamma is critical to the SVMโ€™s performance. One is advised to use GridSearchCV with C and gamma spaced exponentially far apart to choose good values. ... You can define your own kernels by either giving the kernel as a python function or by precomputing the Gram matrix.

NEED HELP WITH SVM KERNEL CODE IN PYTHON FROM SCRATCH
Ask ChatGPT. It knows how to implement basic things. "I want to implement that, what would be the different steps in my program" then you ask more questions like "how do I write the kernel function" and so on. Just like when you program yourself, it's all about turning big problems into a sequence of smaller and simpler problems. If chat GPT can't directly solve the big problem, tell chat GPT to give you several steps and then ask chat GPT to solve a step. More on reddit.com

Ways to speedup SVR training in scikitlearn
For reference, here is a copy of my reply on the scikit-learn mailing list: Kernel SVM are not scalable to large or even medium number of samples as the complexity is quadratic (or more). You should try to: learn independent SVR models on a partitions of the data (e.g. 10 models trained on 5000 samples each) and then compute the mean predictions of the 10 models as the final prediction. The aggregate training complexity should be much lower: 10 * (5000 ** 2) << (10 * 5000) ** 2 and furthermore the 10 SVR models can be trained independently in parallel. Also the grid search for the best hyper parameters can be done only once on 5000 random samples and the optimal parameters can be reused to trained the 9 remaining models. perform a feature expansion of the data using the Nystroem method for instance and then fit a LinearSVC model on the resulting dataset. You can use a Pipeline object to combine the 2 to be able to grid search C and gamma together, see: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/kernel_approximation.html#nystroem-kernel-approx investigate other non linear regression models such as GBRT regressors (see: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/ensemble.html#regression ), Adaboost (with decision stumps as the base learner, only available in the master branch: http://scikit-learn.org/dev/modules/ensemble.html#adaboost ), ExtraTreesRegressor (see http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/ensemble.html#extremely-randomized-trees ) Note that the partitioning trick suggested for SVR might also work to speed up the training of the other models. Also in scikit-learn master there is an implementation of RandomizedSearchCV as a much faster (yet approximate) alternative to GridSearchCV. Beware that the cv_scores_ attribute it currently false (but the best_params_ attribute is correct). This bug is fixed in this PR: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/2042 More on reddit.com

SVM kernels and its type. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are aโ€ฆ | by Abhishek Jain | Medium
September 11, 2024 - Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a popular and powerful class of machine learning algorithms used for classification and regression tasks. One of the reasons for their flexibility and effectiveness is their ability to use different types of kernels. In this blog, weโ€™ll explore what SVM kernels are, how they work, and the most commonly used kernel functions.

Fast Training: It trains faster compared to more complex kernels. Sparse Features: It is commonly used for text or document classification tasks. Wide Margins: It produces boundaries that remain clean and interpretable. Captures more complex relationships by raising feature interactions to a power, allowing curved decision boundaries. ... Feature Interactions: It represents combinations of original features up to a selected power.
