Supervised Machine Learning is a powerful tool in the field of AI. Support Vector Machines (SVM) are a class of algorithms that work well with high-dimensional data and are suitable for various problems such as classification and regression. Below are some resources to help you understand and implement SVMs.

Example Code

Here is a simple example of how to create an SVM classifier using scikit-learn in Python:

from sklearn import datasets
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.svm import SVC
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score

# Load the dataset
iris = datasets.load_iris()
X, y = iris.data, iris.target

# Split the dataset
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=42)

# Create the SVM classifier
clf = SVC(kernel='linear')

# Train the classifier
clf.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict the labels
y_pred = clf.predict(X_test)

# Calculate the accuracy
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)
print(f'Accuracy: {accuracy:.2f}')
