Support vector machines - separating hyperplane question

From what I've seen, seems like the separation hyperplane must be in the form x.w + b = 0. I don't get very well this notation. From what I understand, x.w is a inner product, so it's result will be a scalar. How can be it that you can represent a hyperplane by a scalar + b? I'm quite confused with this. Also, even if it was x + b ...

Any python Support Vector Machine library around that allows online learning?

I do know there are some libraries that allow to use Support vector Machines from python code, but I am looking specifically for libraries that allow one to teach it online (this is, without having to give it all the data at once). Are there any? ...

Looking for libraries which implement sequential minimal optimization in C++

I want to use SMO (Sequential Minimal Optimization) in order to train an SVM (Support Vector Machine). Can anyone suggest existing C++ libraries which implement SMO? I plan to use this to train an SVM to find an object in a picture (probably a human). ...

A few implementation details for a Support-Vector Machine (SVM)

Hello, In a particular application I was in need of machine learning (I know the things I studied in my undergraduate course). I used Support Vector Machines and got the problem solved. Its working fine. Now I need to improve the system. Problems here are I get additional training examples every week. Right now the system starts trai...
