support vector machine cannot handle polynominal attributes

noha

At first i had an error in the nominal to numerical whenever i choose to transform the attribute prediction label it gave me an error and it doesn't include it in the output set then i checked the special attribute box it doesn't produce an error but it also doesn't include it on the output set and now i'm having the error of the support vector machine so here's the code and the screenshot.

Without the data it is not possible for anyone else to replicate the output you are seeing.
However, the base SVM learner needs numerical attributes as inputs and a binominal or numerical label.  You can't have a polynominal label, nor can you have nominal attributes of any type.  Try changing your data types accordingly and see if that clears up your error.  

noha

the attributes of my data set are: Id(real), prediction label(polynomial) and text(polynomial). i get this error when i try to cast the label to be numerical

Hello @noha

Just tick the "Include special Attributes" option.

noha

hi @varunm1
okay when is do this is till get the support vector machine error that it cannot handle polynomial attributes.

varunm1

Hello @noha

Did you convert all the polynominal attributes into numerical? You can check the type of attribute that are going into SVM operator by right clicking on SVM operator and then select "Break Point Before". Now run the process to see the data that is inputted to SVM, go to statistics tab and you can observe the type of each column.

hello @varunm1
i just followed what you said and i got this error the data outputted was perfect. In set role i did define the label attribute

Hello @noha

Can you share data and your process here? You can export the process from the rapidminer studio using the FILE --> Export process and attach it here. We also need data to rerun the process, so attach that as well. If it is not possible to attach it here, you can send it in a private message option in the community.

noha

@varunm1
the data and the process. 
Thank you
