MATLAB: Saving and loading a Multiclass SVM Model

Question

I want to save a trained multiclass SVM and then load it to make predictions. How to do this?

Answer 1

Hi,

save the workspace with the trained model in it. If you want to make predictions in later matlab sessions just load the corresponding .mat-file with your model and add the new data to workspace for that you want to make predictions.

The prediction itself is done with the

label = predict(SVMModel,X)

command, where X is your data set on which you want to make a new prediction. See the documentation for predict command for examples how to do.

Best regards
