MSDSlab Meeting 03/11/2016

This meeting was on Thursday at 14:00 in room A3.17.

During this meeting, Kees introduced Support Vector Machines, a famous “black-box” classification and regression method.

For those who want to try out SVM with the Caret R package, here you can find a nice practical introduction.

Certainly the kernel trick will be part of the discussion. A great blog post about this can be found here with short enlightening visualisations here and here.
