even with the advancement of Deep Learning and Neural Networks in general, the importance and
reliance on SVM have not diminished, and it continues to enjoy praises and frequent use in
numerous industries that involve machine learning in their functioning. These data points are
expected to be separated by an apparent gap. Using a typical value of the parameter can lead to

Markov assumptions and stationarity assumption, so we need. If we had 3D data, the output of SVM
is a plane that separates the two classes. The bifurcation of classes into class-A and class-B has been
done because pizzas and burgers and not the same type of dish, they have uniqueness in the
properties(like taste, shape, size, color and mode of preparation). As discusses earlier, C is the penalty

explanation of SVM SVM is a way to classify data We are interested in text classification. Thus, this
value manages the trade-off between maximization of margin and misclassification. As optimization
problems always aim at maximizing or minimizing something while looking and tweaking for the
unknowns, in the case of the SVM classifier, a loss function known as the hinge loss function is used
and tweaked to find the maximum margin. Great post! Really served to simplify my understanding.

Hypertext categorization can be taken care with the help of SVM. Out of the three shown frontiers,
we see the black frontier is farthest from nearest support vector (i.e. 15 units). Only for linearly
separable problems can the algorithm find such a hyperplane, for most practical problems the
algorithm maximizes the soft margin allowing a small number of misclassifications. It is better to
have a large margin, even though some constraints are violated. Cristianini and J. Shawe-Taylor, An

intelligence inspired by human intelligence and enjoys every discussion, theory or even movie
related to this idea. Compared to other linear algorithms such as Linear Regression, SVM is not
highly interpretable, especially when using kernels that make SVM non-linear. A simple trick is that
we can change the present dimension in which the data points have been plotted to some other

Introduction. People make decisions all the time. L2 and L3 both separate the two classes, but
intuitively we know L3 is a better choice than L2 because it more cleanly separates the two classes.
Hence, they become very crucial for cases where very high predictive power is required. Intelligence

that coming up with a decision boundary that tries to maximize the margin between the two classes
will give great results and overcome the problem of overfitting. So far we have talked bout different
