Exercise 1 – Support vector machines
Suppose that the following are a set of points in two classes:
Plot them and find the optimal separating line. What are the support
vectors, and what is the margin.
Exercise 2
Consider the four input points of an XOR function. Find a way to
separate out the true cases from the false ones by using a linear
separator.
Exercise 3
Show that, irrespective of the dimensionality of the data space, a data
set consisting of just two data points, one from each class, is
sufficient to determine the location of the maximum-margin hyperplane.
