Both learning techniques can be used to distinguish many classes at once, use multiple predictors and obtain probabilities for each class membership. Figure 1: A support vector machine (SVM ...

One of the main reasons is that many loss functions are too sensitive to sample points far from their classes. In this paper, ...

Consider again the classification problem portrayed in Figure ... of examples, solving the SVM optimization problem is quite fast. Empirically, running times of state-of-the-art SVM learning ...
