Study Notes
SVM Classifier Behavior
- Defaults to a soft margin classifier, allowing for some misclassifications to achieve better overall performance
Linearly Separable Data Set
- A data set is defined as linearly separable if it can be separated by a single hyperplane
Decision Boundary in 3 Dimensions
- The decision boundary for a linearly separable data set in 3 dimensions is a plane that separates the classes
Separator in d Dimensions
- In d dimensions, the separator for a linearly separable data set is a (d-1) dimensional hyperplane that separates the classes
Primary Applications of SVM
- Classification and regression tasks, particularly in text classification, image classification, and bioinformatics
- Handling high-dimensional data and noisy data
- Outperforming traditional machine learning methods in many applications
