What are the limitations of SVM in large datasets?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
SVM becomes slow and memory-intensive with large datasets due to quadratic optimization complexity.
Deep explanation
SVM training involves solving a quadratic programming problem that scales poorly with dataset size. Kernel SVMs are especially expensive because they compute pairwise similarities, leading to O(n²) memory and time complexity.
