Learning properties of Support Vector Machines
  We study the typical learning properties of the recently proposed Support Vectors Machines. The generalization error on linearly separable tasks, the capacity, the typical number of Support Vectors, the margin, and the robustness or noise tolerance of a class of Support Vector Machines are determined in the framework of Statistical Mechanics. The robustness is shown to be closely related to the generalization properties of these machines.
