Why does SVM appear under categories Neural Networks and Ensemble Learning???

I suggest to remove these categories, these are wrong classifications —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.149.198.98 (talk) 12:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

  Done I am not an expert in this field, but the above observation seems reasonable to me. If anyone knows better, please put back the categories and please explain why. --Pot (talk) 15:54, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


It should appear under Ensemble Learning, of which Neural Networks are another example. DrDeeg (talk) 03:52, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Dr. Gogas has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


The article describes in a comprehensive and elaborate way the main principles of SVMs without disregarding the mathematical background of the method. A few more applications of the methodology (e.g. in economic forecasting) could be mentioned.


We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Typo makes it hard to understand

In the introduction, what is this supposed to mean? "Note the fact that the set of points x mapped into any hy a result"
