    Supervised Learning SVM

    Prerna Singh
    SVM is a supervised machine learning algorithm that analyzes data for classification and regression analysis. It finds the optimal hyperplane that differentiates classes by maximizing the margin between the classes. SVMs are commonly used for text categorization, gene expression analysis, and anomaly detection like engine failures or earthquakes. The algorithm plots each data point in n-dimensional space based on its features. It then chooses the hyperplane that creates the largest separation or margin between the two classes.

    Support Vector Machine


    • In machine learning, Support vector
    machine(SVM) are supervised learning models
    with associated learning algorithms that analyze
    data used for classification and regression
    analysis. It is mostly used in classification
    problems. In this algorithm, each data item is
    plotted as a point in n-dimensional space (where
    n is number of features), with the value of each
    feature being the value of a particular coordinate.
    Then, classification is performed by finding the
    hyper-plane that best differentiates the two
    classes.
    • A Support Vector Machine (SVM) can be
    imagined as a surface that creates a boundary
    between points of data plotted in multidimensional
    that represent examples and their feature values.
    The goal of a SVM is to create a flat boundary
    called a hyperplane, which divides the space to
    create fairly homogeneous partitions on either
    side. In this way, the SVM learning combines
    aspects of both the instance-based nearest neighbor
    learning and the linear regression modeling.
    • Notable applications include:
    • Classification of microarray gene expression data in
    the field of bioinformatics to identify cancer or other
    genetic diseases
    • Text categorization such as identification of the
    language used in a document or the classification of
    documents by subject matter.
    • The detection of rare yet important events like
    combustion engine failure, security breaches, or
    earthquakes
    How SVM works
    • A Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a discriminative
    classifier formally defined by a separating hyperplane.
    In other words, given labeled training data (supervised
    learning), the algorithm outputs an optimal hyperplane
    which categorizes new examples. Consider the
    following scenarios:
    • Scenario 1:
    In this scenario there are three hyper planes called
    A,B,C. Now the problem is to identify the right hyper-
    plane which best differentiates the stars and the
    circles.
    • The thumb rule to be known, before finding the
    right hyper plane, to classify star and circle is that
    the hyper plane should be selected which
    segregate two classes better. In this case B classify
    star and circle better, hence it is right hyper plane.
    • Scenario 2:
    Now take another Scenario where all three planes
    are segregating classes well. Now the question
    arises how to identify the right plane in this
    situation.
    • In such scenarios, calculate the margin which
    is the distance between nearest data point
    and hyper-plane. The plane having the
    maximum distance will be considered as the
    right hyper plane to classify the classes better.
    • Here C is having the maximum margin and
    hence it will be considered as right hyper
    plane.
