// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Support Vector Machine
A powerful machine learning model used for classification and regression that finds the best boundary to separate different categories of data.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A supervised machine learning algorithm that constructs a hyperplane or set of hyperplanes in a high-dimensional space to optimally separate data points into classes, maximizing the margin between the closest training data points of any class (support vectors).
BACKGROUND
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making. It is a field of research in engineering, mathematics and computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.
