What is Support Vector Machine?
SVM or Support Vector Machine is a linear model for classification and regression problems. It can
solve linear and non-linear problems and work well for many practical problems.
The idea of SVM is simple: The algorithm creates a line or a hyperplane which separates the data
into classes.
Support vector machines (SVMs) are a set of supervised learning methods used for classification,
regression and outliers detection.
