How come you need to know about Support Vector Machines (SVM)?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first time I came across the support vector machines, I will not deny that I thought it was some kind of math monster full of heavy numbers.<\/span> However, when I grasped the idea, I felt that it is rather a secret treasure trove of Artificial Intelligence<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine it this way: suppose you are asked to draw a line on a piece of paper so that you can separate red dots and blue dots.<\/span> Easy, right? And now you have thousands of features- spam filters to consider, whether an email should be in your inbox or junk.<\/span> That\u2019s where SVMs come in. They are not merely coming up with lines but identifying the cleverest line to come up with in order to divide the two parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Support Vector Machine?<\/h2>\n

A support vector machine is essentially a supervised learning algorithm.<\/span> That is, it trains on labelled data.<\/span> For example:<\/p>\n
