Lecture 65: 🚀 Support Vector Classifier (SVC)

In this foundational lecture on Support Vector Classifiers (SVC), we dive into the principles of large margin classification, exploring both hard and soft margins. You'll learn how SVCs utilize hyperplanes to make decisions across one, two, and three-dimensional spaces. 🧠 We will also examine the bias/variance tradeoff to understand how it influences the location of decision boundaries, potentially allowing for some misclassification. Special attention is given to the importance of feature scaling and when SVCs shine, particularly in small to medium-sized datasets. 📊 Real-world use cases will illustrate the practical applications of SVCs, helping you to effectively apply this powerful algorithm in your machine learning projects.
