Great article! I did not understand the part with kernels before, so I appreciate the simplified explanation. The interactive demo on https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/ is really cool.

Thanks! Yes its a pretty good demo, it should be more popular IMO.

Definitely a better fit for idiots like me. BTW that is a compliment. It is very hard to make something complicated easy to understand. You succeeded.
