+## 🚀 Getting Started
+
+### Quick Installation
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/your-username/svm-classifier/main/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+```cpp
+#include <svm_classifier/svm_classifier.hpp>
+#include <torch/torch.h>
+
+using namespace svm_classifier;
+
+int main() {
+    // Generate sample data
+    auto X = torch::randn({100, 4});
+    auto y = torch::randint(0, 3, {100});
+    
+    // Create and train classifier
+    SVMClassifier svm(KernelType::RBF, 1.0);
+    auto metrics = svm.fit(X, y);
+    
+    // Make predictions
+    auto predictions = svm.predict(X);
+    double accuracy = svm.score(X, y);
+    
+    std::cout << "Accuracy: " << accuracy * 100 << "%" << std::endl;
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+```cpp
+nlohmann::json config = {
+    {"kernel", "rbf"},
+    {"C", 10.0},
+    {"gamma", 0.1},
+    {"multiclass_strategy", "ovo"},
+    {"probability", true}
+};
+
+SVMClassifier svm(config);
+auto cv_scores = svm.cross_validate(X, y, 5);
+auto best_params = svm.grid_search(X, y, param_grid, 3);
+```
+
+## 📈 Performance Characteristics
+
+### Kernel Performance
+- **Linear**: O(n) training complexity, very fast for high-dimensional data
+- **RBF**: O(n²) to O(n³) complexity, good general-purpose kernel
+- **Polynomial**: Configurable complexity based on degree
+- **Sigmoid**: Similar to RBF, good for neural network-like problems
+
+### Memory Usage
+- **Sparse Support**: Automatically handles sparse features
+- **Efficient Conversion**: Minimal overhead in tensor conversion
+- **Configurable Caching**: Adjustable cache sizes for large datasets
+
+### Scalability
+- **Small Datasets**: < 1000 samples - all kernels work well
+- **Medium Datasets**: 1K-100K samples - RBF and polynomial recommended
+- **Large Datasets**: > 100K samples - linear kernel recommended
