Non-linear Support Vector Machines Explained

In the previous episode we explained what are support vector machines and the maths behind the algorithm. In this episode we discuss support vector machines for non-linearly separable data. SVMs for non-linearly separable data What if the data is not linearly separable? For example: Calculating a non-linear support vector machine may overfit our data: In…

Support Vector Machines Explained

What are Support Vector Machines? Support Vector machines are a common supervised machine learning algorithm used in both classification and regression problems, however are most commonly used for classification which will be the focus for this article. Overview The job of a support vector machine for classification problems is take labelled data such as the…
