    Linear Support Vector Regression Using C# with Particle Swarm Training

    Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the linear support vector regression (linear SVR) technique, where the goal is to predict a single numeric value. A linear SVR model uses an unusual error/loss function and cannot be trained using standard techniques, and so particle swarm optimization training is used. 06/03/2025
