Abstract
In this tutorial we give an overview of the basic ideas underlying Support Vector (SV) machines for regression and function estimation. Furthermore, we include a summary of currently used algorithms for training SV machines, covering both the quadratic (or convex) programming part and advanced methods for dealing with large datasets. Finally, we mention some modifications and extensions that have been applied to the standard SV algorithm, and discuss the aspect of regularization and capacity control from a SV point of view.
