Abstract

This chapter delves into the Support Vector Machine (SVM), a robust classifier introduced by Vapnik, focusing on its core principles and practical applications. It begins by explaining the concept of the optimal separating hyperplane, which efficiently distinguishes elements of two different classes. The text then explores the soft margin approach to handle noisy samples and the use of kernel functions to tackle non-linearly separable problems. Additionally, it covers extensions of SVM for one-class problems and multiclass classification strategies, such as one-vs-one and one-vs-rest methods. The chapter also provides Python code snippets for implementing SVM with different kernels, demonstrating its practical application. By the end, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of SVM's theoretical foundations and its implementation in real-world scenarios.
