Support Vector Machine (SVM) Introduction -- Machine Learning

SVM stands for support vector machine, and although it can solve both classification and regression problems, it is mainly used for classification problems in machine learning (ML). SVM models help us classify new data points based on previously classified similar data, making it is a supervised machine learning technique. The companion resources to this article can be found either on Google Colab or Github. Classification is a supervised ML task that requires machine learning algorithms that learn how to assign a class label to examples from a problem domain. An easy-to-understand example is classifying emails as "junk" or "not junk."
