One-class SVM for text classfication

In777In777 Member Posts: 29 Contributor II
edited November 2018 in Help

I classify several examples (each example is a small text) using the one-class SVM. I got a problem that I cannot fix "Needs a nominal label with 2 or more values".  I tried to set role for the label, to change the label to numerical, to use meta "Polynomial to binominal". Nothing worked.  n the last case I got a messsage that there is no obvious mistake, but still the program does not give me any results. There were some posts here related to the topic, but there is still no correct answer. I would appreciate any help. Here is my original xml, It works for LibSVM in multi-class case:

    Hi

     

    i've checked it again. it is the other way around. you need to have a nominal coloum with only one class as label. See attached process.

    hello @In777

     

    Not sure if I this solves your issue, but typical problems when doing type conversion and your column is  has a special role (e.g columns like labels , weights etc.) is folks do not check the "inclide special attributes" checkbox.

     

    Can you confirm if that was not the case

    Dear @In777,

     

    thanks for reaching out. The LibSVM One class svm is sometimes a bit confusing. You acutually need to have a binary label to do it. The second class needs to have 0 examples.

    Thank you for your suggestion. I've tried to leave one of the directories with the examples empty, unfortunately that did not help. I still get a bug report (see my previous post).
