Many scientific problems entail labeling data items with one of a given, finite set of classes based on features of the data items. For example, oncologists classify tumors as different known cancer ...

Support vector regression can predict numeric values effectively, and this article shows how to implement and train a kernel SVR model in C# using stochastic sub-gradient descent.

Is it possible to predict the composition of a microgram-sized salt deposit solely from its macroscopic appearance? While the task seems intractable, we show that for pure aqueous salt solutions dried ...
