•Extremely popular.
•Find linear separator with maximum margin.
– Some guarantees
this generalizes well.
•Can work in high-dimensional space without overfitting.
–Nonlinear map to high-dim. space, then find linear
separator.
–Special tricks allow efficiency in ridiculously
–high dimensional
spaces.
•Can handle non-separable classes also.
–Not as important if space very high-dimensional.
