Scala Support Vector Machine library

Question

I need a Support Vector Machine library for Scala.

I guess that I should have a look at both Scala and Java implementations, do you recommend me to use any of them in particular?

Answer 1

SVMlight has JNI bindings for Java, available for download here. You shouldn't have any problems calling it from Scala code.

Answer 2

Here are two alternatives:

• https://github.com/zsxwing/scala-svm
• https://github.com/cjlin1/libsvm (has both Java and C versions). Alternative link: https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/

I ended up using the second one from Scala without problems. It is published to Maven Central, although not the latest source version.

Answer 3

This one looks promising. Looks like it's constantly updated
