It is written in the documentation of the loss parameter: string, 'l1' or 'l2' (default='l2') Specifies the loss function. 'l1' is the hinge loss (standard SVM) while 'l2' is the squared hinge loss. but clearly it can be passed unseen with a quick reading. 2012/8/21 Andreas Mueller >

Hi Alexis. That must be it! Crazy. We should definitely point this out in the docs somewhere. Not sure how I overlooked that. Thanks a lot! Andy On 08/21/2012 10:52 AM, Alexis Mignon wrote: Another big difference is that the default loss function in Linear SVC is quadractic with distance to the

Another big difference is that the default loss function in Linear SVC is quadractic with distance to the margin (loss='l2') while it is linear in SVC. 2012/8/12 Mathieu Blondel > > > On Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 6:53 PM, Andreas Mueller > wrote: > >> Does any one have an explanation for that? >> Bt

[Scikit-learn-general] Differences between SVC(kernel='linear') and LinearSVC

2012-08-12 Thread Andreas Mueller
Hi everybody. Yesterday I noticed big differences in performance between SVC with linear kernel and LinearSVC. I vaguely remember there was an issue about that, but can't find it any more. I tried to set the stopping criterion very strict but still I saw a big difference. Does any one have an e
