Model training: The SVM algorithm tries to find the hyperplane that maximally
separates the points of one class from those of the other class. It does this by finding the
hyperplane that has the largest margin, or distance, between the points of the two classes.
Prediction: Once the model has been trained, it can be used to make predictions on new
data. To make a prediction, the new data point is transformed into the same feature space
as the training data and then the class label is determined based on which side of the
hyperplane the point lies on.
Support Vector Machine – SVM
• SVMs are widely used in various domains such as image classification, text
classification, bioinformatics, and finance due to their ability to handle high-
dimensional data and their robust performance in many scenarios.
• Has has he ability to handle data that is linearly separable and not linearly
separable.
• SVMs might not scale well to very large datasets due to their computational
complexity.
