## weka.classifiers.mi
Class MISVM

    java.lang.Object
      weka.classifiers.Classifier
          weka.classifiers.mi.MISVM

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, CapabilitiesHandler, MultiInstanceCapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler

    public class MISVM

extends Classifier
implements OptionHandler, MultiInstanceCapabilitiesHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler

Implements Stuart Andrews' mi_SVM (Maximum pattern Margin Formulation of MIL). Applying weka.classifiers.functions.SMO to solve multiple instances problem.
The algorithm first assign the bag label to each instance in the bag as its initial class label. After that applying SMO to compute SVM solution for all instances in positive bags And then reassign the class label of each instance in the positive bag according to the SVM result Keep on iteration until labels do not change anymore.
