fyi, this doesn't make sense.
- PascLeRasc 11y agoHow so? We give it different variables and let it change them incrementally. Calmness is a 0.0 - 1.0 floating point output from the band. This was custom-made by the way.
- wutf 11y agoDepends on what exactly you did, but the SVM doesn't maximize calmness - it finds a maximally separating hyperplane that separates calm data from not-calm data. If you had real-time biofeedback then the person wearing the handband might have used the feedback to help them relax, but in that case they are the one maximizing calmness, not the SVM.
- PascLeRasc 11y agoOk. My only experience with SVMs was reading the wikipedia article a year ago. Our implementation evolved pretty organically and I only thought later that it was like a SVM. thanks for the info.
