What is the role of dual coefficients in SVM interpretation?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

Deep explanation

In kernel SVM, predictions depend on weighted sum of kernel similarities between test points and support vectors. Dual coefficients define these weights, determining influence of each support vector.
