Fitting Support Vector Machines via Quadratic Programming

Domino Data Lab

In this blog post we take a deep dive into the internals of Support Vector Machines. We derive a Linear SVM classifier, explain its advantages, and show what the fitting process looks like when solved via CVXOPT – a convex optimisation package for Python. 1999) and more.

Here, $X$ is a vector of tuning parameters that control the system's operating characteristics (e.g. the weight given to Likes in our video recommendation algorithm) while $Y$ is a vector of outcome measures such as different metrics of user experience (e.g., the fraction of video recommendations resulted in positive user experiences).
