First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for selecting a subset of features for processing in a learning machine, wherein the features correspond to a dataset to be analyzed for patterns, the method comprising:
- ranking the features according to a distance between extremal points of two classes of interest; and
selecting the subset of features having the highest rank.

Abstract
Features are preprocessed (204) to minimize classification error in a Support Vector Machines (200) used to identify patterns in large databases. Pre-processing (204) is performed to constrain features used to train (210) the SVM learning machine. Live data (226) is collected and processed (232) with SVM.
