SVM Presentation

Support Vector Machines (SVM) are advanced machine learning techniques used for classification and regression, particularly effective in separating classes. They work by finding an optimal hyperplane and utilize the kernel trick for non-linearly separable data. Key considerations include data preparation, parameter tuning, and the advantages of SVM in high dimensions, despite its computational expense and sensitivity to parameters.

Support Vector Machines (SVM)

• Overview of SVM in Machine Learning


Introduction to SVM
• • SVMs are a cutting-edge ML technique.
• • Used for classification & regression.
• • Effective for separating classes when others
fail.
Binary and Multiclass Classification
• • Default: Binary classification.
• • Multiclass via One-vs-One & One-vs-All.
How SVM Works
• • Finds optimal hyperplane maximizing
margin.
• • Uses support vectors to define decision
boundary.
Kernel Trick
• • Helps in non-linearly separable data.
• • Kernels: Linear, Polynomial, RBF, Sigmoid.
SVM for Regression (SVR)
• • Predicts continuous values.
• • Fits data within margin tolerance.
Data Preparation for SVM
• • Feature scaling is crucial.
• • Handle imbalanced datasets: oversampling,
SMOTE.
Tuning SVM Parameters
• • C Parameter: Trade-off between margin &
classification.
• • Gamma: Influence of training points.
Implementing SVM with Scikit-
Learn
• • Example code:
• ```python
• from sklearn.svm import SVC
• model = SVC(kernel='rbf', C=1,
gamma='scale')
• model.fit(X_train, y_train)
• ```
Advantages & Limitations
• Advantages:
• • Effective in high dimensions.
• • Works well with small datasets.

• Limitations:
• • Computationally expensive.
• • Sensitive to parameters & kernels.
Conclusion
• • SVMs are powerful for classification &
regression.
• • Data preparation & tuning are key.
• • Future: Advanced kernels, hybrid
approaches.
