rb-libsvm — Ruby language bindings for LIBSVM

This package provides Ruby bindings to the LIBSVM library. SVM
is a machine learning and classification algorithm, and LIBSVM is a
popular free implementation of it, written by Chih-Chung Chang and
Chih-Jen Lin, of National Taiwan University, Taipei. See the book “Programming
Collective Intelligence,”
among others, for a usage example.

There is a JRuby implementation of this gem named
jrb-libsvm by
Andreas Eger.

Note: There exist some other Ruby bindings for LIBSVM. One is named
Ruby SVM, written by Rudi Cilibrasi. The other, more
actively developed one is libsvm-ruby-swig by Tom Zeng,
which is built using SWIG.

LIBSVM includes a number of command line tools for preprocessing
training data and finding parameters. These tools are not included in
this gem. You should install the original package if you need them.

It is helpful to consult the README of the LIBSVM package for
reference when configuring the training parameters.

Currently this package includes libsvm version 3.24.

Dependencies

None. LIBSVM is bundled with the project. Just install and go!

Installation

For building this gem from source on OS X (which is the default
packaging) you will need to have Xcode installed, and from within Xcode
you need to install the command line tools. Those contain the compiler
which is necessary for the native code, and similar tools.

To install the gem run this command

  1. gem install rb-libsvm

Usage

This is a short example of how to use the gem.

  1. require 'libsvm'
  2. # This library is namespaced.
  3. problem = Libsvm::Problem.new
  4. parameter = Libsvm::SvmParameter.new
  5. parameter.cache_size = 1 # in megabytes
  6. parameter.eps = 0.001
  7. parameter.c = 10
  8. examples = [ [1,0,1], [-1,0,-1] ].map {|ary| Libsvm::Node.features(ary) }
  9. labels = [1, -1]
  10. problem.set_examples(labels, examples)
  11. model = Libsvm::Model.train(problem, parameter)
  12. pred = model.predict(Libsvm::Node.features(1, 1, 1))
  13. puts "Example [1, 1, 1] - Predicted #{pred}"

If you want to rely on Bundler for loading dependencies in a project,
(i.e. use Bundler.require or use an environment that relies on it,
like Rails), then you will need to specify rb-libsvm in the Gemfile
like this:

  1. gem 'rb-libsvm', require: 'libsvm'

This is because the loadable name (libsvm) is different from the
gem’s name (rb-libsvm).

Release

The process to make a release of the gem package to rubygems.org has a
number of steps.

  • manually change the version in lib/libsvm/version.rb
  • clean, build, and run tests successfully
  • update code and documentation
  • push
  • sign into https://rubygems.org/
  • save API token from https://rubygems.org/profile/edit and store in .gem/credentials by running gem signin
  • perform actual release: bundle exec rake release
