SVM Ensembles Are Better When Different Kernel Types Are Combined

Support Vector Machines (SVM) are strong classifiers, but large data sets might lead to prohibitively long computation times and high memory requirements. SVM ensembles, where each single SVM sees only a fraction of the data, can be an approach to overcome this barrier. In continuation of related work in this field we construct SVM ensembles with Bagging and Boosting. As a new idea we analyze S...
