SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE (SVM)

Support vector machines are widely used in many industries. They are especially useful for pattern recognition, classification, and numerical prediction tasks. They have also been used to solve other problems. They can be implemented in a variety of languages, including Python, Java, and R. However, they have their limitations. To apply these techniques to a real-world problem, they require huge datasets.

A linear SVM classifier divides data points into groups by category. These groups then form a higher-dimensional hyperplane, which aids in classification. The best separation of classes is obtained with the hyperplane having the greatest distance from the nearest training data point.

​

One way to use SVMs to solve problems is to perform a kernel function transformation, which transforms non-linear data into dot products. These are special data points chosen by the SVM optimization algorithm.

​

A typical SVM separates data points into two categories. The distance between these two categories can be increased by increasing the hyperplane width, which is a two-dimensional line. This makes data classification easier.

A non-linear SVM uses simulated and mixed data. There are several different types of SVM algorithms, and the best one to use for a given application depends on your data.
