How can we randomly label a particular class as +1 and the other class as -1? Don’t we have to check whether the distance of points of a particular class from the hyperplane is positive or negative and then label the classes as +1 or -1 accordingly.
Labeling of data
Hey Shubham,
We do not randomly label classes as +1 or -1. When we have two labels (classes) in our training set then we pick one class and label it +1 and all the other examples with the other class is labelled as -1. The hyperplane which is obtained after training is formed as such that the positive and negative distances are thus distributed along these two classes.
I hope this clears your doubt.
