Practical Data Science using Python - Support Vector Machine Project 1

The video tutorial covers three examples of using support vector machines (SVMs) for classification. It begins with a linearly separable dataset using a linear SVC classifier, followed by a nonlinear dataset using the moons dataset with polynomial features, and finally, the moons dataset again using the kernel trick. The tutorial explains data import, preparation, and transformation, including scaling and visualization. It also discusses the importance of hyperparameter tuning, particularly the C value, to balance generalizability and strict classification boundaries.
