What is the impact of the parameter C in SVM?
The C parameter tells the SVM optimization how much you want to avoid misclassifying each training example. For large values of C, the optimization will choose a smaller-margin hyperplane if that hyperplane does a better job of getting all the training points classified correctly.
What are the tuning parameters in SVM?
One can tune the SVM by changing the parameters C, \gamma and the kernel function. The function for tuning the parameters available in scikit-learn is called gridSearchCV(). Parameters of this function are defined as: estimator: It is the estimator object which is svm.
Why is the regularization parameter important in SVM?
The regularization parameter (lambda) serves as a degree of importance that is given to miss-classifications. SVM pose a quadratic optimization problem that looks for maximizing the margin between both classes and minimizing the amount of miss-classifications.
Which is the best kernel parameter for SVMs?
Speaking from experience a good starting point for SVMs is to use a linear kernel or a radial kernel with whatever the default gamma value is, and manually adjust the cost in powers of 10 (1e-3, 1e-2, 1e-1, 1, 10) to find the best value (evaluate this on a validation set).
Is the cost parameter not a kernel parameter?
The Cost parameter is not a kernel parameter is an SVM parameter, that is why is common to all the three cases. The linear kernel does not have any parameters, the radial kernel uses the gamma parameter and the polynomial kernel uses the gamma, degree and also coef_0 (constant term in polynomial) parameters.
Are the kernel parameters have any correlation with the C parameter?
Also are the kernel parameters have any correlation with the C parameter? is it possible to firstly tune the C parameter and only after one was found continue and optimize the kernel parameters? I know hyperparameter tuning is a very common issue so how is that im feeling there is no “clean” solution for this problem..
