SPIDER The Spider Objects

Kernel Perceptron with Budget by Cramer et al.


   
    
   A=BUDGET_PERCEPTRON(H) returns a budget_perceptron object initialized with hyperparameters H. 
  
    The budget_perceptron object trains a potentially kernelized perceptron.
   
   Hyperparameters (with defaults)
    cache_size=[]        -- if set to a scalar, this is the maximum cache size used
                            after this the algorithm throws away "support vectors"
                            if left empty, an adaptive cache is used
    max_loops=1          -- Maximum number of sweeps through the data
    margin=0.01          -- potential margin with which to train on 
    alpha_cutoff=-1      -- keep alphas with abs(a_i)>max(a)/alpha_cutoff
                             default keeps all alphas, another
                             reasonable choice is e.g alpha_cutoff=1e5 to remove
                             zero alphas (i.e non-SVs) to speed up computations.
   Model
    child=kernel         -- the kernel is stored as a member called "child"
    alpha                -- the weights
    Xsv                  -- the "Support Vectors"
  
   Methods:
    train, test 
  
   Example:
    d=gen(toy2d);
    [r,a]=train(budget_perceptron,d);
    plot(a,d)
   
   d=gen(spiral({'m=200','n=2','noise=0.35'}));
   [r,a]=train(budget_perceptron(kernel('rbf',.5)),d)
   plot(a,d)
