Overview

Support vector machines or support vector networks are models based on supervised learning models that are primarily used for classification and regression analysis. Support vector machine or SVM is a robust and highly efficient prediction method with a firm foundation in statistical methods It was developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories by Vladimir Vapnik and his fellow workers.

SVM works like any other machine learning algorithm. An SVM is fed a set of training examples with each marked as belonging to one of two classes; its training algorithm builds a model that assigns new examples to one class or the other, so in essence, it is a non-probabilistic binary linear classifier. Geometrically, an SVM maps training examples to points in space and then tries to maximize the width of the gap between the two categories. For prediction, the input value is mapped into that same space and predicted to belong to a class based on which side of the margin they fall. In simple terms, an SVM classifies the data into classes by creating a line or a hyperplane which separates the data into classes.

When compared to more advanced systems like deep neural networks, SVM holds two main advantages i.e., SVM has higher speed and has better performance even with a small sample set.
