  • Experiment 1 is focused on choosing the best kernel for the SVM classifier during the training and testing phases.
  • SVM classifier
  • kernel for the SVM
  • SVM model

More modern technologies now would use SVM's Ada boost boosting tech technologies for classification.

Examples

  • Several classification algorithms were tested, with SVM being the one with the highest accuracy.

    Academic text (2016)

  • We also optimized the choice of kernel for the SVM-based classifier during the training and testing phases.

    Academic text (2016)

  • And it turns out that you can apply an SVM with the following kernel.

  • You can take SVM and you get kernel SVM.

  • Therefore, the existing methods do not allow implementing SVM in data that cannot be classified by linear decision functions.

    Academic text (2018)

  • A similar trend was also observed for SVM, with the optimal accuracy also at 12 x 12 sampling resolution.

    Academic text (2017)

  • A parameter to evaluate for the SVM models was the cost-function term C.

    Academic text (2018)

  • Two supervised learning algorithms, RF and SVM, were used to train and test the datasets at different resolutions.

    Academic text (2017)

  • The authors used an SVM-based classifier for training and testing, resulting in a classification accuracy of 83.77%.

    Academic text (2016)

  • The researchers applied an SVM to distinguish between different categories of data with high precision.

Morphology

SVM = support + vector + machine (semi-transparent) = S + V + M

The initialism SVM compresses the transparent technical phrase 'support vector machine', but understanding requires knowledge of technical base words so a general B1 learner may not infer the meaning.

Etymology

The word SVM stands for Support Vector Machine, and the name is a helpful memory hook: support means 'to hold', vector means 'arrow' or 'direction', and machine means 'tool'. So an SVM is a tool that uses a few key points and directions to find a clear border that separates different groups of data.
