What is the difference between SVM decision boundary and probability boundary?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
SVM decision boundary is deterministic, while probability boundary represents probabilistic confidence.
Deep explanation
SVM outputs a signed distance from hyperplane, not probabilities. Probability boundaries require calibration methods like Platt scaling. Decision boundary is purely geometric, while probabilistic models estimate class likelihoods.
