“I heard reiteration of the following claim: Complex theories do not work; simple algorithms do. One of the goals of this book is to show that, at least in the problems of statistical inference, this is not true. I would like to demonstrate that in the area of science a good old principle is valid: Nothing is more practical than a good theory.” — Vladimir N Vapnik
