[apologies for cross posting]

Dear all,

I have just released the SVM-LIGHT-TK1.2 software. This allows us to
describe a classifying object using a set of trees and a set of
vectors in the input of Support Vector Machines.

Sets of trees are useful to encode different structured features,
e.g. it is possible to select different portions of a parse tree,
independently evaluate tree kernels over them and combine the obtained
contributions.  Feature Vectors are extremely important to combine
different spaces of manually designed features and are essential to
design SVM models that work on instance pairs (tuples),
e.g. re-ranking models.

The main software features are listed hereafter:

- Fast Kernel computation.

- Tree forests, i.e. a set of trees over multiple feature spaces can
  be specified in the input.

- Vector sets, i.e. multiple feature vectors over multiple feature
  spaces can be specified in the input.

- Two types of tree kernels, i.e. subset tree and subtree kernels.

- Embedded combinations of tree and vector-based kernels.

- A commented example on how to design our own kernels.

If you are interested, you can read more about the software and
download it here:

I appreciate any bug reports, requests and comments.


Best regards,


Alessandro
