====Support Vector Machines====

Cognition normally creates neural networks (often also known as Multi-Layer Perceptrons) as the basis for all of your AIs.

However, one type of AI instead uses One-Class Support Vector Machines, or SVMs.

One-Class Support Vector Machines don't quite work the way that other AIs function. They take a set of inputs, but only produce a single output. They are a //novelty detector//, meaning they give a certain signal if the input data looks familiar, or a different one if they think it's unusual.

They also are unique in that they can be trained using only **good** data.  meaning that they can be used to tell the difference between 'normal' and 'abnormal' inputs simply by learning what //normal// looks like.
