How does SVM behave under curse of dimensionality?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
SVM is relatively robust to high dimensions but still suffers from sparsity and noise issues.
Deep explanation
Unlike distance-based models, SVM relies on margin maximization, which remains effective in high-dimensional spaces. However, if irrelevant features dominate, performance can degrade without feature selection or regularization.
