A Practical Guide to using Support Vector Machines

This month we are delighted to have Professor Paul Walsh from CIT speaking at Cork AI. The talk will introduce Support vector machines (SVMs), which are supervised machine learning algorithms that are widely used for a range of real word problems. Key terms and concepts will be described and it will be shown how SVM algorithms can build linear and complex models that can accurately classify unseen data. In order to get the best machine learning performance, the tuning and evaluation of SVMs will also be demonstrated. Live demos and hands on coding opportunities will be provided and a real-world application will be show-cased.
