implemented binary svm and applied to iris dataset

[MingyiXue]

Hi,

I added one example to this nice project.

This notebook initially served as a course project report of CS524 (Introduction to Optimization) at Univerisity of Wisconsin-Madison, under the supervision of Professor Michael Ferris.

1. A complete version of BinarySVM class, supporting hard-margin SVM, soft-margin SVM, polynomial kernel SVM and RBF kernel SVM. This implementation is ready-to-import for any user
2. An automated hyperparameter tuning process

The performance of this BinarySVM has been tested on the Iris dataset.

Best,
Mingyi

It would be nice to have code review, especially on the implementation of dual and primal formulation in BinarySVM. Thanks in advance.

@MingyiXue That's a great example, I really like how you abstracted away everything from the user with the SVM class. I will try to give you feedback ASAP. It's a bit busy nowadays, so don't worry if I cannot answer in 1-2 days.
