A MATLAB wrapper of SVM^struct.zip

SVM^struct for MATLAB V1.2 Andrea Vedaldi This is a patch to Thorsten Joachims (http://www.joachims.org/) SVM-struct implementation that provides a simple-to-use MATLAB interface. OBTAINING: svm-struct-matlab homepage is http://www.vlfeat.org/~vedaldi/code/svm-struct-matlab.html. The GIT repository of the project can be downloaded at https://github.com/vedaldi/svm-srtuct-matlab. COMPILING: To compile this software use the included Makefile. It should work out of the box on Linux and Mac OS X provided that MATLAB MEX program is in the command line path. So just issue > make The only files that are needed to run the package with MATLAB are svm_struct_learn.mex* (MEX program) and svm_struct_learn.m (documentation). If MEX is not on the command line, the path can be specified as > make MEX=<MATLABROOT>/bin/mex where <MATLABROOT> is MATLAB root directory. Finally, it is also possible to specify manually the architecture > make ARCH=maci # Mac Intel 32 bit > make ARCH=maci64 # Mac Intel 64 bit > make ARCH=glnx86 # Linux 32 bit > make ARCH=glnxa64 # Linux 64 bit To clean the build products use > make clean # clean all build but the MEX file > make distclean # clean all build products USAGE: There is only one MATLAB command, i.e. SVM_STRUCT_LEARN. This commands take as input handles to the function implementing the maximal constraint violation search, the loss, and the feature map. See TEST_SVM_STRUCT_LEARN and TEST_SVM_STRUCT_LEARN_KER for example usage and SVM_STRUCT_LEARN built-in help for further information. CHANGES: 1.3 - Adds support for the endIterationFn callback. 1.2 - Adds support for Xcode 4.0 and Mac OS X 10.7 and greater 1.1 - Adds Windows support (thanks to Iasonas Kokkinos). 1.0 - Initial public release LICENSE: The MATLAB wrapper of T.
