Main features of LIBSVM include * Different SVM formulations * Efficient multi-class classification * Cross validation for model selection * Probability estimates * Weighted SVM for unbalanced data * Both C++ and Java sources * GUI demonstrating SVM classification and regression * Python, R (also Splus), MATLAB, Perl, Ruby, Weka, Common LISP and LabVIEW interfaces. C# .NET code is available. It's also included in some learning environments: YALE and PCP. * Automatic model selection which can generate contour of cross valiation accuracy.
