This quiz consists of questions and answers on Support Vector Machine (SVM). This is a practice test (objective questions and answers) that can be useful when preparing for interviews. The questions in this and upcoming practice tests could prove to be useful, primarily, for data scientists or machine learning interns/freshers/beginners. The questions are focused on some of the following areas:
- Introduction to SVM
- Types of SVM such as maximum-margin classifier, soft-margin classifier, support vector machine
Some of the key SVM concepts to understand while preparing for the machine learning interviews are following:
- SVM concepts and objective functions
- SVM kernel functions, tricks
- Concepts of C and Gamma value
- Scikit learn libraries for training SVM models
Here are some of the useful posts on SVM you could read for understanding SVM in a better manner:
- SVM Algorithm as Maximum Margin Classifier
- SVM Classifier using Scikit Learn – Code Examples
- SVM – Understanding C Value with Code Examples
- SVM as Soft Margin Classifier and C Value
- Machine Learning – SVM Kernel Trick Example
- SVM RBF Kernel Parameters with Code Examples
