contents We show how, using linear-algebraic tools developed to prove Tverberg's theorem in combinatorial geometry, we can design new models of multi-class support vector machines (SVMs). These supervised learning protocols require fewer conditions to classify sets of points, and can be computed using existing binary SVM algorithms in higher-dimensional spaces, including soft-margin SVM algorithms. We describe how the theoretical guarantees of standard support vector machines transfer to these new classes of multi-class support vector machines. We give a new simple proof of a geometric characterization of support vectors for largest margin SVMs by Veelaert.
