Note: You can notice that we write vector either with an arrow on top of them, or in bold, in the rest of this text I will use the arrow when there is two letters like and the bold notation otherwise. We could also give it an arbitrary name such as. If we say that the point at the origin is the point then the vector above is the vector. This definition means that there exists a vector between the origin and A. Figure 1: a pointĭefinition: Any point, in specifies a vector in the plane, namely the vector starting at the origin and ending at x. If we define a point in we can plot it like this.

#Hyperplan def how to#
That means it is important to understand vector well and how to use them.

In Support Vector Machine, there is the word vector. Its goal is to find the hyperplane which maximizes the margin.īut how do we calculate this margin? SVM = Support VECTOR Machine In the first part, we saw what is the aim of the SVM. If you did not read the previous article, you might want to start the serie at the beginning by reading this article: an overview of Support Vector Machine. This is Part 2 of my series of tutorial about the math behind Support Vector Machines.
