Abstract

The more the dimensions of a feature space, the more is the computing power needed to classify. Support vector machines (SVMs) main advantages are (1) their effectiveness in a high-dimensional space and in cases where the number of dimensions is higher than the number of instances in the dataset, and (2) their low use of memory and hence their memory efficiency.
