Research on kernel function of support vector machine

Abstract

Support Vector Machine is a kind of algorithm used for classifying linear and nonlinear data, which not only has a solid theoretical foundation, but is more accurate than other sorting algorithms in many areas of applications, especially in dealing with high-dimensional data. It is not necessary for us to get the specific mapping function in solving quadratic optimization problem of SVM, and the only thing we need to do is to use kernel function to replace the complicated calculation of the dot product of the data set, reducing the number of dimension calculation. This paper introduces the theoretical basis of support vector machine, summarizes the research status and analyses the research direction and development prospects of kernel function. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.
