Introduction #

In Machine Learning, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a popular algorithm with many usages. First, we will talk about what SVMs do.

Suppose, we have 2 kind classed with different data points:

SVM takes all data which is shown in the picture and tries to find a line that separates it. It is called decision boundary. There might be many lines but which one could be the best? SVM will choose the line which maximises the margin. Margin is the distance between the separating line and the nearest point of either of the two classes.

Decision boundary which has smaller margin is more prone to over fitting, while large margins can give more robust results.

But, how about other complex data? In this picture, we can see this that SVM can not help us to separate data, as it has very complex data points.

But, there should be a solution. Now we have 2 features on this data, which are x and y, how about if we can add one more feature to it? Let's choose a value for the new feature which may work: x^2 + y^2. Now we have 3 dimensions and the z axis has value x^2 + y^2. This is equal to the distance of each point from the origin.

Then we can separate data with line.

Let's take this solution and go back to our original 2 dimensional space. Since we have z axis has an equation of x^2 + y^2, it corresponds to a circle:
