17. Support vector machines
18. Support vector machines? •  Effective in high dimensional spaces. •  Still effective in cases where number of dimensions is greater than the number of samples. •  Uses a subset of training points in the decision function (called support vectors), so it is also memory efficient. •  Easy to use and train •  Versatile: different kernel functions can be specified for the decision function.

28. Conclusion •  (I)Python / SciPy / Numpy / Scikit-Learn are awesome :D! •  SVM is mature algorithm, straightforward to use and works well in most of the cases. •  Being able to use Kernels allows SVM to learn complex decision boundaries. •  Using LibSVM / LibLinear based libraries allow for reusing models across languages or at least prototyping in Python.
