choice). Which of the following might be valid reasons for preferring an SVM over a neural network?

Question

Accepted Answer

An SVM can effectively map the data to an infinite-dimensional space; a neural net cannot.

Accepted Answer

Answer

An SVM can automatically learn to apply a non-linear transformation on the input space; a
