Tutorial on Support Vector Machine

Support vector machine is a powerful machine learning method in data classification. Using it for applied researches is easy but comprehending it for further development requires a lot of efforts. This report is a tutorial on support vector machine with full of mathematical proofs and example, which help researchers to understand it by the fastest way from theory to practice. The report focuses on theory of optimization which is the base of support vector machine.
