支持向量机（support vector machine，SVM）是由Cortes和Vapnik在1995年提出的，由于其在文本分类和高维数据中强大的性能，很快就成为机器学习的主流技术，并直接掀起了“统计学习”在2000年前后的高潮，是迄今为止使用的最广的学习算法。(Support vector machine (support vector machine, SVM) is proposed by Cortes and Vapnik in 1995, because of its powerful in text classification and high-dimensional data in the performance, will soon become the mainstream technology of machine learning, and launched a "statistical learning" in the high tide before and after 2000, is the most widely used learning the algorithm used so far.)
