An interactive illustration of how support vector machines work

Jun 12, 2022 ยท 1 min read

How do support vector machines work, anyway? This little page gives an interactive way to explore this question, by applying different kernels to a synthetic data set, along with some theory to explain what is going on.

This was originally an assignment in a course on machine learning, but I went above and beyond to provide this interactive visualisation instead of just writing a static report on it. The full code behind the project is available in this GitHub repository.
