Using SVM Classifier for High Sparsity Datasets

Question

Please help to clarify this as the infographic supplied to us by 365 indicates that SVM cannot handle sparse data. Or does that only go for the SVM Regression?

Answer 1

Hi Jonathan,

Which is the infographic you're referring to, please?

Generally SVMs can be quite effective with sparse datasets.

Best,

Ned
