Abstract

In this pap er, we show that training of the support vector machine (SVM) can b e interpreted as performing the level 1 inference of MacKay's evidence framework. We further on show that levels 2 and 3 can also b e applied to SVM. This allows automatic adjustment of the regularization parameter and the kernel parameter. More importantly, it op ens up a wealth of Bayesian tools for use with SVM. Performance is evaluated on both synthetic and real-world data sets.
