Introduction to SVM

 I was reading up on Statistical Learning theory before stepping into SVM. Vapnik's book is a little too much for me right now.

This looks like a good place to start:

Downloaded the Technical report and the SVM Toolbox. I still have to figure out how to use the toolbox. There was some error which says:
"??? Invalid MEX-file 'D:\poject\codeings\qp.dll': D:\poject\codeings\qp.dll is not a valid Win32 "

A few google searches tells me that I have to do the following:
In the SVM toolbox directory,
1. Go into the optimiser directory and type,
2. Type   mex -v qp.c pr_loqo.c
    it should create a file called qp.mex***.
3. Copy paste this file into svm directory.

It does not complain much now. But I am still figuring out how can I use it.

Why cannot people write documentation for their own code and post it along with the software.
