Support Vector Machine Essentials

The document provides an overview of Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a type of supervised learning model used for classification, prediction, and pattern recognition. It explains how SVMs find hyperplanes to separate different classes of data and discusses parameters such as regularization, gamma, and kernel types that influence the model's performance. Additionally, it includes code snippets for implementing SVMs using the sklearn library.

Supp ort Vecto r Mach ine

Support vector machines (SVMs) are a popular linear classifier.


SVMs are supervised learning models, meaning sample data
must be labeled, that can be applied to almost any type of
data.

Suppor t Vector Machin e
They are especially effective at classification, numeral
prediction, and pattern recognition tasks. SVMs find a line (or
hyperplane in dimensions greater than 2) in between different
classes of data such that the distance on either side of that line
or hyperplane to the next-closest data points is maximized.

Support Vector Machine

In other words, support vector machines calculate a


maximum-margin boundary that leads to a homogeneous
partition of all data points. This classifies an SVM as a
maximum margin classifier.

Linear Separation

It fairly separates the two classes. Any point I

Non-Linear Separation

There is no line that can separate the two classes in this x-y plane. So
what do we do? We apply transformation and add one more dimension
as we call it z-axis.

The points closest to the


hyperplane are called as
the support vector points
and the distance of the
vectors from the
hyperplane are called the
margins.

Hyperplane(Decision surface )

The hyperplane is a function which is


used to differentiate between features.
In 2-D, the function used to classify +
0
between features is a line whereas, the
function used to classify the features in a 0
0
3-D is called as a plane similarly the
function which classifies the point in
higher dimension is called as a

Identify Rig ht Hyperplane

Here, we have three hyper-planes (A, A B


y
B and C). Now, identify the right hyper-
plane to classify star and circle. *
You need to remember a thumb rule to
** * C

identify the right hyper-plane: "Select


the hyperplane which segregates the
••
two classes better". In this scenario,
hyper-plane "B" has excellently
performed this job.

Identify Right Hyperplane
Here, we have three hyper-planes
(A, B and C) and all are segregating
the classes well. Now, How can we y 1 A

identify the right hyper-plane?


**
Above, you can see that the margin * *
for hyper-plane C is high as ** • ••
compared to both A and B. Hence,
we name the right hyper-plane as C. •

Tuning parameters: Regularization {Penalty )

It is also known as Penalty Parameter. It determines influence of misclassification.


It controls cost of misclassification on the training data. If the value of C is high, the
model will choose more data points as support vector while low value of C will
make the model to choose less data points as support vector.
