For example: * Predict if an email message is spam or not. * Predict if someone will default on their mortgage or not. * Predict if someone has cancer or not. These are all examples of classification problems. #### Binary Classification Problems Classification problems can be binary or multi-class. Binary classification problems are ones where there are only two possible categories. Examples: * Spam or not spam. * Will default or won't default. * Cancer or no cancer. Multi-class classification problems are ones where there are more than two possible categories. Examples: * Classify an animal as a cat or dog or horse. * Classify an animal as an insect or mammal or reptile. * Classify an animal as any one of thousands of species. SVMs can do multi-class classification but they're most commonly used for binary classification problems. #### Linearly Separable Data A linearly separable dataset means that it can be separated using a straight line (in two dimensions) or hyperplane (in higher dimensions). An example would be this: [spam] [spam] [spam] [spam] [not spam] [not spam] [not spam] [not spam] [not spam] In this case we can use a line between `not spam` at `(0:0)` & `(0:2)` & `(0:5)` & `(0:8)` & `(0:11)` & `(0:14)` & `(0:17)` & `(0:20)` & `(0:23)` & `(0:26)` & `(0:29)` & `(0:32)` & `(0:35)` & `(0:38)` & `(0:41)` & `(0:44)` & `(0:47)` & `spam` at `(0:50)`, where `:`
