Support Vector Machines, Illustrated

Support vector machines are a class of techniques in data science, which had great popularity in the data science community. They are mainly used in classification tasks and perform really well when few training data is available. Sadly, SVMs have been almost forgotten lately due to the massive popularity of deep learning. But I my opinion they are a tool that every data scientist should have in their toolbox, because they are faster to train and sometimes even outperform neural networks. In this blog, you will learn that SVMs use hyperplanes to separate and classify our data.
