Patrick Winston's MIT lecture on Support Vector Machines, delving into the mathematical details of maximizing street width and the application of kernel functions.
MIT 6.034 Artificial Intelligence, Fall 2010
In this lecture, we explore support vector machines in some mathematical detail. We use Lagrange multipliers to maximize the width of the street given certain constraints. If needed, we transform vectors into another space, using a kernel function.
