SVM, Logistic Regression, and Precision | Graham's Research BlogMachine Translation, Speech Recognition, Machine Learning, and the like. On twitter a little while ago, @mathieuen asked an interesting question about whether the fact that he was seeing support vector machines (SVM) get better precision than logistic regression (LR) was a result of the learning algorithm (specifically the hinge loss function). I answered off the top of my head that I thought that
