SVM and Kernels: The Math that Makes Classification Magic

Imagine you're at a party separating people who love pizza (yum!) from those who...well, have questionable taste. In the world of machine learning, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are like the ultimate party planner, using math to create a clear division between categories. But what's the secret sauce behind SVM's success? Let's dive into the math behind SVMs and explore a magical trick called the "kernel" that unlocks their true potential.
