Support Vector Machines

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a set of related methods for supervised learning, applicable to both classification and regression problems. A SVM classifiers creates a maximum-margin hyperplane that lies in a transformed input space and splits the example classes, while maximizing the distance to the nearest cleanly split examples. The parameters of the solution hyperplane are derived from a quadratic programming optimization problem. Here, we provide several formulations, and discuss some key concepts.
