Introduction This is the second installment in a series of blog posts about Support Vector Machines. If you have not read the first blog post, I highly recommend you go back and read it before continuing to this blog post. Last time we looked at how to define the ideal hyperplane to linearly separate two…

Introduction This is the first installment in a series of blog posts about Support Vector Machines. In these blog posts, I will give an overview of the mathematics behind, and implementation of Support Vector Machines which assumes only some mathematical background and almost no familiarity with machine learning libraries. To best understand these blog posts…

Every matrix represents a linear transformation. A special kind of matrix, called a diagonal matrix is very easy to interpret: It should be obvious why we call this a diagonal matrix. It has non-zero entries along the main diagonal and zeros everywhere else. It should also not take much to imagine what the linear transformation…
