Implementing a Local SVM Classifier with Apache Spark MLlib

The input dataset follows a pipe-delimited format where the first field represents the binary class label, followed by a comma-separated list of numerical features. This structure maps directly to Spark’s LabeledPoint type, which expects a double-precision label paired with a dense feature vector. A representative sample of the training set inc ...
