Why is scikit-learn SVM.SVC() extremely slow?
<p>I tried to use SVM classifier to train a data with about 100k samples, but I found it to be extremely slow and even after two hours there was no response. When the dataset has around 1k samples, I can get the result immediately. I also tried SGDClassifier and naïve bayes which is quite fast and I got results within couple of minutes. Could you explain this phenomena?</p>
