How does SVM behave in presence of label noise?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Label noise can significantly affect SVM by creating misleading support vectors.
Deep explanation
Noisy labels may become support vectors and distort the decision boundary. Soft margin SVM mitigates this using slack variables, but excessive noise still harms generalization.
