How does SVM behave when data is linearly separable but noisy?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
SVM uses soft margin to tolerate noise even in separable data.
Deep explanation
Even if data is linearly separable, noise can distort boundaries. Soft margin SVM allows small violations to prevent overfitting to noisy points, improving generalization.
