SVMs: Pros and cons<br />

• Pros<br />

– Many publicly available SVM packages:<br />

http://www.kernel‐machines.org/software<br />

– Kernel‐based framework is very powerful, flexible<br />

– SVMs work very well in practice, even with very small training sample sizes<br />

• Cons<br />

– No “direct” multi‐class SVM, must combine two‐class SVMs<br />

– Computation, memory<br />

• During training time, must compute matrix of kernel values for every pair of<br />

examples<br />

• Learning can take a very long time for large‐scale problems<br />
