Kernel SVM often feels abstract, with kernels, dual formulations, and support vectors. In this article, we take a different path. Starting from Kernel Density Estimation, we build Kernel SVM step by step as a sum of local bells, weighted and selected by hinge loss,...

Instead of starting with margins and geometry, this article builds the Support Vector Machine step by step from familiar models. By changing the loss function and reusing regularization, SVM appears naturally as a linear classifier trained by optimization. This...
