Course Overview

This course is all about Support Vector Machines – one of the most versatile and widely used techniques in supervised learning. They can be applied to both classification and regression tasks and thanks to kernels, fit different data distributions at a reduced computational cost . In this course, you’ll grasp the theory behind support vector machines andhow to implement and optimize a Support Vector Classifier in Python using sk-learn.

Excellent course. One think I like about the course is the setting of boundary for different kernel parameters that no one teaches. The time given by the Course exam is very short. After downloading the data set and writing the code and answering the question is bit difficult.

I think that there should be more explanations about why are certain things done, or used, without the excuse that it's a standard practice.

The SVM course is smal and conceise pack for end to end model creation and fine turing. Appreciate the road map and quality containts
