Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were popular in the 1990s but have limitations. SVR's complexity and scalability issues are addressed by the kernel trick, with the radial basis function being a common choice. Training SVR models requires specialized algorithms like sequential minimal optimization (SMO), and attempts to use evolutionary optimization have not been...
