How does SVM behave under feature noise vs label noise?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

Feature noise affects geometry, while label noise directly distorts decision boundary.

Deep explanation

Feature noise can often be mitigated with scaling and kernels, while label noise is more harmful because it misguides optimization, turning wrong samples into support vectors.
