● In SVM soft classifier we tradeoff between maximizing ___ and minimizing ___. Answer:
margin and errors
● If lambda gets small what gets emphasized, large margin or minimizing training error?,. Answer:
Minimizing errors.
● What is a support vector?. Answer: A point that holds up a shape.
, ● Does ...[⅔(a-1)+1/3(a+1)] move an SVM classifier up or down?.
Answer: Up
● How do you make errors more costly in a soft SVM classifier?.
Answer: include a multiplier for the point-error term.
● If an SVM coefficient is very close to zero.... Answer: that term is not very important to the
classification.
