Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a powerful classification algorithm that finds the optimal boundary between data groups. The core concept, known as the 'kernel trick,' allows for complex, non-linear separations by mapping data into a higher dimension where it becomes linearly separable. SVMs aim to maximize the margin, or gap, between the closest data points of different classes, known as support vectors, which are crucial in defining this optimal boundary. AI
