SVMs: A Powerful Tool in Machine Learning

Support vector machines (SVMs) are a type of supervised learning algorithm used for classification and regression analysis. They are based on the concept of finding a boundary that separates data into different classes with the largest possible margin. SVMs are widely used in various applications, including image classification, text classification, and bioinformatics. They are particularly useful for dealing with high-dimensional data. Although deep learning has dominated the AI field in recent years, SVMs remain a valuable tool in the machine learning toolkit.
