This paper describes the algorithms implemented by the KerMIT consortium for its participation in the Trec 2002 Filtering track. The consortium submitted runs for the routing task using a linear SVM, for the batch task using the same SVM in combination with an innovation threshold-selection mechanism, and for the adaptive task using both a second-order perceptron and a combination of SVM and perceptron with uneven margin. Results seem to indicate that these algorithm performed relatively well on the extensive TREC benchmark.
