Mathematica SVM – A hands-on introduction to Support Vector Machines using Mathematica ©

This project presents the very basic theory of linear classifiers, max-margin classifiers and Support Vector Machines and explores the use of Mathematica © to solve the optimization problems that arise.

MathematicaSVM

Following the presentation in [1], this notebook explicitly derives, implements and compares several classifiers, demonstrating them on synthetic 2D-data generated by the user, with visualizations involving direct hyper-parameters manipulations.
The project can be considered a hands-on introduction to the topic.
