Support Vector Machine: Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Support Vector Machine

In the field of machine learning, support vector machines are supervised learning models that examine data for classification and regression analysis. These models come with related learning algorithms. Vladimir Vapnik and his coworkers at AT&T Bell Laboratories were responsible for its creation. Because they are founded on statistical learning frameworks or the VC theory, which was developed by Vapnik and Chervonenkis (1974), support vector machines (SVMs) are among the most accurate prediction systems. A non-probabilistic binary linear classifier is what results when an SVM training algorithm is given a series of training examples, each of which is marked as belonging to one of two categories. The algorithm then develops a model that assigns subsequent examples to either one of the two categories or neither of them. The support vector machine (SVM) allocates training examples to points in space in such a way as to maximize the difference in size between the two categories. After that, new examples are mapped into that same space, and depending on which side of the gap they fall on, a prediction is made as to which category they belong to.
