The example from the paper, the Amazon book reviews data, takes a long time to run. As a simpler illustration we first run a small toy example.
The data is artificial and copied verbatim from Section 9.6.2 (page 363) of “An Introduction to Statistical Learning” by G. James, D. Witten, T. Hastie and R. Tibshirani (Springer eBook, eighth printing, 2017).
We first generate the data and inspect it. We see that class 1 is disconnected, and class 2 lies in the middle. In the original space, linear separation is not possible.
set.seed(1)
X <- matrix(rnorm(200 * 2), ncol = 2)
X[1:100, ] <- X[1:100, ] + 2
X[101:150, ] <- X[101:150, ] - 2
y <- as.factor(c(rep("blue", 150), rep("red", 50))) # two classes
table(y)
## y
## blue red
## 150 50
dim(X) # 200 2
## [1] 200 2
length(y) # 200
## [1] 200
cols <- c("deepskyblue3", "red")
col <- cols[as.numeric(y)]
plot(X, col = col, pch = 19)
We now fit an SVM with radial basis kernel to the data. We fix the seed in order to make the result of svm() reproducible:
dat <- data.frame(X = X, y = y)
set.seed(1)
svmfit <- svm(y~., data = dat, scale = FALSE, kernel = "radial", cost = 10, gamma = 1, probability = TRUE)
Now we inspect the fitted svm. We also plot the decision values and the fit. We see that the decision value separates the classes reasonably well. The decision boundary is far from linear, but it is linear in the feature space:
names(svmfit)
## [1] "call" "type" "kernel" "cost"
## [5] "degree" "gamma" "coef0" "nu"
## [9] "epsilon" "sparse" "scaled" "x.scale"

## [21] "rho" "compprob" "probA" "probB"
## [25] "sigma" "coefs" "na.action" "fitted"
## [29] "decision.values" "terms"
plot(svmfit$decision.values, col = cols[as.numeric(y)]); abline(h = 0)
plot(svmfit, data = dat, X.2~X.1, col = cols)
Now we build the vcr object for the trained svm:
vcr.train <- vcr.svm.train(X, y, svfit = svmfit)
## The kernel matrix has 4 eigenvalues below precS = 1e-12.
## Will take this into account.
We inspect the output, which contains among other things the prediction as integer, the prediction as label, the alternative label as integer and the alternative label:

Now inspect the Probability of Alternative Class (PAC) of each object, which is one of the ingredients for the class map:
vcr.train$PAC[1:3]
## [1] 0.09401983 0.12102387 0.12097698
summary(vcr.train$PAC)
## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
## 0.02257 0.09703 0.11846 0.18295 0.21565 0.89467
The $fig element of the output contains the distance from case i to class g. Let's look at it for the first 5 objects:
vcr.train$fig[1:5, ]
## [,1] [,2]
## [1,] 0.2282057 0.9999972
## [2,] 0.5170902 1.0000000
## [3,] 0.5617682 0.9999999
## [4,] 0.6184622 0.9999999
## [5,] 0.8863184 0.9012566
From the fig, the farness of each object can be computed. The farness of an object i is the f(i, g) to its own class:
vcr.train$farness[1:5]
## [1] 0.2282057 0.5170902 0.5617682 0.6184622 0.8863184
summary(vcr.train$farness)
## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
## 0.01464 0.23089 0.49152 0.49674 0.76438 0.98295
The “overall farness” of an object is defined as the lowest f(i, g) it has to any class g (including its own):
summary(vcr.train$ofarness)
## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
## 0.01464 0.22740 0.48312 0.47424 0.68180 0.98295
Objects with ofarness > cutoff are flagged as “outliers”. These can be included in a separate column in the confusion matrix. This confusion matrix can be computed using confmat.vcr, which also returns the accuracy. To illustrate this we choose a rather low cutoff, so a few cases are flagged:
confmat.vcr(vcr.train, cutoff = 0.975)
##
## Confusion matrix:
## predicted
## given blue red outl
## blue 140 7 3
## red 7 43 0
##
## The accuracy is 93%.
With the default cutoff = 0.99 no objects are flagged in this example:
confmat.vcr(vcr.train)
##
## Confusion matrix:
## predicted
## given blue red
## blue 143 7
## red 7 43
##
## The accuracy is 93%.
Note that the accuracy is computed before any objects are flagged, so it does not depend on the cutoff.
The confusion matrix can also be constructed showing class numbers instead of labels. This option can be useful for long level names.
confmat.vcr(vcr.train, showClassNumbers = TRUE)
##
## Confusion matrix:
## predicted
## given 1 2
## 1 143 7
## 2 7 43
##
## The accuracy is 93%.
A stacked mosaic plot made with the stackedplot() function can be used to visualize the confusion matrix. The outliers, if there are any, appear as grey areas on top.
stackedplot(vcr.train, classCols = cols, separSize = 1.5,
minSize = 1, showLegend = TRUE, cutoff = 0.975,
main = "Stacked plot of SVM on artifical data")
stplot <- stackedplot(vcr.train, classCols = cols,
separSize = 1.5, minSize = 1,
main = "Stacked plot of SVM on artifical data")
stackedplot(vcr.train, classCols = cols)
The silhouette plot is made below:
# pdf("Artif_SVM_silhouettes.pdf", width = 5.0, height = 4.6)
silplot(vcr.train, classCols = cols,
main = "Silhouette plot of SVM on artificial data")
## classNumber classLabel classSize classAveSi
## 1 blue 150 0.74
## 2 red 50 0.30
# dev.off()
We now make the class maps based on the vcr object. This can be done using the classmap() function. We make a separate class map for each of the two classes. We see that for class 1 (blue), most of the points have a low PAC, with some exceptions that are assigned to the red class. For class 2, the PAC is typically higher than in class 1.
par(mfrow = c(1,1))
classmap(vcr.train, 1, classCols = cols)
classmap(vcr.train, 2, classCols = cols)
par(oldpar)
To illustrate the use of new data we create a fake dataset which is a subset of the training data, where not all classes occur, and ynew has NA's.
Xnew <- X[c(1:25, 151:175), ]; dim(Xnew) # 50 200
## [1] 50 2
ynew <- y
ynew[c(21:25, 171:175)] <- NA
(ynew <- ynew[c(1:25, 151:175)])
## [1] blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue
## [16] blue blue blue blue blue <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> red red red red red
## [31] red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red
## [46] <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
## Levels: blue red
length(ynew) # 50
## [1] 50
Now we build the vcr object on the training data.
vcr.test <- vcr.svm.newdata(Xnew, ynew, vcr.train)
Inspect some of the output in the vcr object:
vcr.test$predint

Now perform some check to confirm that it corresponds with what we would expect, given that the test data is a subset of the training data:
plot(vcr.test$yintnew[c(1:20, 26:45)],
vcr.train$yint[c(1:20, 151:170)]); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.test$predint[c(1:20, 26:45)],
vcr.train$predint[c(1:20, 151:170)]); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.test$altint[c(1:20, 26:45)],
vcr.train$altint[c(1:20, 151:170)]); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.test$PAC[c(1:20, 26:45)],
vcr.train$PAC[c(1:20, 151:170)]); abline(0, 1)
plot(as.vector(vcr.test$fig[c(1:20, 26:45), ]),
as.vector(vcr.train$fig[c(1:20, 151:170), ])); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.test$farness[c(1:20, 26:45)],
vcr.train$farness[c(1:20, 151:170)]); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.test$ofarness[c(1:20, 26:45)],
vcr.train$ofarness[c(1:20, 151:170)]); abline(0, 1)
We also make the silhouette plot on the artificial subset:
# pdf("Artif_subset_SVM_silhouettes.pdf", width = 5.0, height = 4.6)
silplot(vcr.test, classCols = cols,
main = "Silhouette plot of SVM on subset of data")
## classNumber classLabel classSize classAveSi
## 1 blue 20 0.67
## 2 red 20 0.25
# dev.off()
Now we redo the analysis in feature space. What do these data look like in feature space? In order to answer the question, we first compute the gaussian kernel used in svmfit:
Kxx <- makeKernel(X, svfit = svmfit)
dim(Kxx)
## [1] 200 200
Now we can compute a representation of these points in feature space. The function MakeFV() takes a kernel, and from it creates a feature space with the desired inner products. The kernel matrix has a few eigenvalues below the precision precS, and this is taken into account:
outFV <- makeFV(Kxx)
## The kernel matrix has 4 eigenvalues below precS = 1e-12.
## Will take this into account.
Xf <- outFV$Xf
As a sanity check, we make sure that the kernel matrix and the inner products of Xf match (almost exactly):
max(abs(as.vector(Kxx - Xf %*% t(Xf)))) # tiny, this is good.
## [1] 6.167711e-11
The rows of Xf are in 196-dimensional space, do we need all of those dimensions? It turns out that we do need many. More precisely, we need 39 components to explain 95% of the variance. That's many when starting from bivariate data.
explvar <- cumsum(apply(Xf, 2, var))
plot(explvar / explvar[ncol(Xf)]); abline(h = 0.95)
min(which(explvar > 0.95 * explvar[ncol(Xf)]))
## [1] 39
We inspect the data in feature space a little bit more. We see that all points in Xf lie on the unit sphere. This is always true for the radial basis kernel.
range(rowSums(Xf^2))
## [1] 1 1
In some of the pairwise plots, we can also see spherical effects. The data does look more separable here than in the original two-dimensional space.
pairs(Xf[, 1:5], col = col)
plot(Xf[, 1], Xf[, 5], col = col, pch = 19)
Now we run SVM on Xf with linear kernel and the same cost. This yields the same result as above:
Xfdat <- data.frame(X = Xf, y = y)
set.seed(1)
svmfit1 <- svm(y~., data = Xfdat, scale = FALSE, kernel = "linear", cost = 10, probability = TRUE)
plot(svmfit1$decision.values, svmfit$decision.values); abline(0, 1)
vcr.trainf <- vcr.svm.train(X = Xf, y, svfit = svmfit1)
We see that everything matches with the original svm which was trained using a gaussian kernel on the original data:
plot(vcr.train$yint, vcr.trainf$yint); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.train$predint, vcr.trainf$predint); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.train$altint, vcr.trainf$altint); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.train$PAC, vcr.trainf$PAC); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.train$fig, vcr.trainf$fig); abline(0, 1)
vcr.train$figparams$farscales
## [1] 1 1
plot(vcr.train$farness, vcr.trainf$farness); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.train$ofarness, vcr.trainf$ofarness); abline(0, 1)
We now make a test data with NA's in ynew, but in feature space:
Xnew <- Xf[c(1:25, 151:175), ]; dim(Xnew)
## [1] 50 196
Using this test data, we build a new vcr object:
vcr.testf <- vcr.svm.newdata(Xnew, ynew, vcr.trainf)
Again, we see an exact match with original version:
plot(vcr.testf$yintnew, vcr.test$yintnew); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.testf$predint, vcr.test$predint); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.testf$altint, vcr.test$altint); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.testf$PAC, vcr.test$PAC); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.testf$fig, vcr.test$fig); abline(0, 1)
plot(vcr.testf$farness, vcr.test$farness); abline(0, 1)
data(data_bookReviews)
X <- data_bookReviews[1:500, 1]; y <- data_bookReviews[1:500, 2]
Xnew <- data_bookReviews[501:1000, 1]; ynew <- data_bookReviews[501:1000, 2]
length(X); length(Xnew); length(y); length(ynew)
## [1] 500
## [1] 500
## [1] 500
## [1] 500
This is a subset of the data used in the paper, which was assembled by Prettenhofer and Stein (2010), see https://arxiv.org/abs/1008.0716
The full dataset has been used for a variety of things, including classification using svm. A list of citations: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5& sciodt=0%2C5&cites=4738650459241064524&scipsc=1&q=svm+&btnG=
The subset was chosen small enough to keep the computation time low, while still containing the examples in the paper.
First we define the colors and inspect an example of a book review:
cols <- c("deepskyblue3", "red")

## [1] "the others in the series were great, and i really looked forward to a breath of snow and ashes. it read like it was all gabaldon's discarded notes for the previous installment. i felt really cheated to have spent my time and money on this book. "
The next question is what kernel to use. There are many string kernels. kernlab provides several options: The “spectrum” kernel matches substrings of an exact size. The “boundrange” kernel matches substrings of a length up to a given size. The “constant” kernel matches all substrings. The “exponential” kernel matches all substrings but gives different weights depending on the length of the matched string.
The best kernel for these data in terms of accuracy turned out to be the spectrum kernel with length 7:
strdot <- kernlab::stringdot(type = "spectrum", length = 7)
strdot
## String kernel function. Type = spectrum
## Hyperparameters : sub-sequence/string length = 7
## Normalized
ptm <- proc.time()
Kr_train <- kernlab::kernelMatrix(kernel = strdot, x = X)
(proc.time() - ptm)[3]
## elapsed
## 21.56
dim(Kr_train)
## [1] 500 500
Using the makeFV() function, we can compute the corresponding points in feature space. It takes into account almost-zero eigenvalues. The resulting Xf can be seen as the scores of a kernel PCA without centering (mean subtraction).
outFV <- makeFV(Kr_train)
## The kernel matrix has 1 eigenvalues below precS = 1e-12.
## Will take this into account.
Xf <- outFV$Xf
dim(Xf)
## [1] 500 499
To see how well these feature vectors and Kr_train match, we can compute the inner products in Xf, and verify that they are close to Kr_train:
inprod <- Xf %*% t(Xf)
max(abs(as.vector(Kr_train - inprod)))
## [1] 6.008671e-11
We can also verify that the points of Xf lie on the unit sphere in 500 dimensions:
range(rowSums(Xf^2)) # all 1
## [1] 1 1
By construction, Xf is expressed in an orthogonal coordinate system. In order to explain 95% of the variance in the data, we need 463 out of the 500 components, so we are in a truly high dimensional situation:
explvar <- cumsum(apply(Xf, 2, var))
plot(explvar / explvar[ncol(Xf)]); abline(h = 0.95)
min(which(explvar > 0.95 * explvar[ncol(Xf)]))
## [1] 463
Now we can train the support vector classifier on these data. On Xf we train the SVM with the LINEAR kernel, since we are in feature space:
Xfdat <- data.frame(X = Xf, y = y)
set.seed(1) # we have to fix the seed!
svmfit <- svm(y~., data = Xfdat, scale = FALSE, kernel = "linear", cost = 2, probability = TRUE)
We plot the decision values. the two horizontal lines contain the support vectors. There are a lot of them, since the dimension is high.
plot(svmfit$decision.values)
Now create the VCR object of the training data:
vcr.train <- vcr.svm.train(Xf, y, svfit = svmfit)
Using the VCR object, we can build the confusion matrix. We see that the accuracy is 100%. This classification is perfect due to overfitting!
confmat.vcr(vcr.train, showOutliers = FALSE)
##
## Confusion matrix:
## predicted
## given 1 2
## 1 250 0
## 2 0 250
##
## The accuracy is 100%.
The classification on the test data is more interesting. First construct the kernel matrix we need to classify the test data, which takes roughly a minute:
ptm <- proc.time()
Kr_test <- kernlab::kernelMatrix(kernel = strdot, x = Xnew, y = X)
(proc.time() - ptm)[3]
## elapsed
## 43.54
Now we compute feature vectors of the test set. These features live in the same space as the Xf of the training data.
FVtest <- makeFV(kmat = Kr_test, transfmat = outFV$transfmat)
Zf <- FVtest$Xf
dim(Zf)
## [1] 500 499
We compare the inner products with the kernel matrix to make sure that they are the same:
inprod <- Zf %*% t(Xf)
max(abs(as.vector(Kr_test - inprod))) # tiny, good.
## [1] 1.15278e-11
Now create the VCR object of the test data:
vcr.test <- vcr.svm.newdata(Zf, ynew, vcr.train)
Compute the confusion matrix from the VCR object. In the full dataset, the accuracy was 82 %. Here we achieve roughly 74% accuracy, which is lower since training was done on 500 texts instead of 2000.
confmat.vcr(vcr.test)
##
## Confusion matrix:
## predicted
## given 1 2
## 1 178 72
## 2 56 194
##
## The accuracy is 74.4%.
The stacked mosaic plot of the classification is presented below:
stackedplot(vcr.test, classCols = cols, separSize = 1.5, minSize = 1.5, main = "SVM on the book review test data")
The silhouette plot of the classification is presented below:
# pdf("Bookreview_test_SVM_silhouettes.pdf", width = 5.0, height = 4.6)
silplot(vcr.test, classCols = cols, main =

The overall average silhouette width is quite poor, as was the classification accuracy. Now we build the class maps for the test set. First the class map of the negative reviews:

## [1] "this book is not for everyone. if you do not like to read classics with everything that goes along with that (such as long-winded language that seems outdated to us today), then you should stay away. for lovers of classical and relatively easy to read literature, this is a good book. a lot of things are amazing, considering how long ago they were written and what overall level of scientific knowledge was at the time. some of it just boggles my mind. at the same time, the book is long winded and in the end, not quite as much happens as one would expect. dan brown's davinci code has more things happening in the first 20 pages than verne has in his entire book. but that is ok in a way, because when i read a classic, i do not expect to compare it to modern standards. the entertainment is due to different factors. in fact, the way the book is written is part of the entertainment and not just the story. i do not give this book 5 stars however, because i was disappointed in the end, since not enough of the story really comes to a conclusion. i do not want to spoil the book for you, but there are a lot of unanswered questions, and getting those answers really was what kept me reading. there is quite a bit of build-up, and then in some ways, the book just ends. (i noticed that style in many books of that time, where the narrator just says 'here is what i know... but i do not know the whole story...'). also, to some extent, i agree with some of my fellow reviewers that gave a lower score, in that it is too much of a narration rather than a real story. i do not complain about some of it being like a log book, but i would have wished to get a bit more information about the daily life on board. i just do not buy that the 3 travelers just stayed in their room. they must have found out a bit more about other parts of the boat. or at least attempted it, and that would have been interesting to read about, without breaking with the overall style of the book"
