The last month has taken me through a couple of choices in how to focus this project.\u00a0 First, I attempted to design a ‘version 2’ that would use project files.\u00a0 The idea was to give a project a group of categories to use, as well as persistent result sets and a dictionary that can be kept up-to-date with the results.\u00a0 It didn’t take long to realize that, although this might be a good application, I needed to reduce my scope.\u00a0 I needed to build the underlying set of classes that this sort of application would call to do its searching and parsing.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, my Systems Development instructor suggested that I might make my project more manageable by making it a platform for further research.\u00a0 Instead of trying to study all of the variables involved, it would be productive to focus on making the code highly modular and well-documented, and then I could move on to doing a study of one variable.\u00a0 In future years, students needing a research project could pick up the code and do a more thorough study of the variables that impact the quality of the training sets.\u00a0 Alternatively,\u00a0 a student could take the SVMTrainer classes and use them to implement a higher-level application.<\/p>\n

So for my own purposes I am calling the current model ‘version 3.’\u00a0 It is designed with several basic classes that are designed to be extended.\u00a0 Here’s a summary:<\/p>\n
