Machine Learning and AI: Support Vector Machines in Python

Support Vector Machines (SVM) are one of the most powerful machine learning models around, and this topic has been one that students have requested ever since I started making courses. These days, everyone seems to be talking about deep learning, but in fact there was a time when support vector machines were seen as superior to neural networks. One of the things you'll learn about in this course is that a support vector machine actually is a neural network, and they essentially look identical if you were to draw a diagram. The toughest obstacle to overcome when you're learning about support vector machines is that they are very theoretical. This theory very easily scares a lot of people away, and it might feel like learning about support vector machines is beyond your ability.
