Χαίρε Αδαμάντιε Κοραή....έαν είναι πράγματι το όνομα σου..

Just to follow up on Liquan, you might be interested in removing the
thresholds, and then treating the predictions as a probability from 0..1
inclusive. SVM with the linear kernel is a straightforward linear
classifier -- so you with the model.clearThreshold() you can just get the
raw predicted scores, removing the threshold which simple translates that
into a positive/negative class.

API is here

Enjoy!
