What is the classification of model that uses convolutiona filters with SVM/Bayes classifier • /r/MachineLearning

Sure, it's a neural net, although someone who felt that it wasn't could probably make that argument. Bottom line - there aren't a lot of fundamentalists who will care a lot about a strong line discriminating what is and is not an instance of machine learning method X. Using a convolutional network as, effectively, a hierarchical set of image filters has certainly been done. You might have some trouble training it with a top level model that had problematic derivatives, and so had weird backprop issues. Realistically, a lot of work has involved training a deep convolutional net on a task, then cutting off the top fully connected layer, and instead taking the inputs as features for another kind of classifier (usually an SVM) to squeeze a little extra performance.
