Supervised learning algorithms extract general principles from observed examples guided by a specific prediction objective.

The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 36, No. 2 (Apr., 2008), pp. 489-531 (43 pages) The support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is well known to the computer learning community for its very good practical ...

The support vector machine (SVM) is a popular learning method for binary classification. Standard SVMs treat all the data points equally, but in some practical problems it is more natural to assign ...
