How to use Support Vector Machine in Knime Analytics

Learn how to use Support Vector Machine in Knime Analytics: assumptions, basic node setup, confusion matrix interpretation, and data normalization.

Assumptions

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are versatile machine learning algorithms that can work with both linear and non-linear data. They assume that the data is well-separated into different classes, and that there are clear boundaries between these classes. SVMs can handle both continuous and categorical data.

When it comes to the target variable, SVMs work best with binary classification problems. However, they can be adapted to handle multi-class classification problems as well. Finally, it is important to note that SVMs can be sensitive to outliers, so it may be necessary to remove or adjust outliers in the data before using this algorithm.
