🎯 Proposed Solution

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

API Design (if applicable)

// Example of how you envision the API would look
class SVMClassifier {
public:
    // Proposed new method
    NewFeatureResult new_feature_method(const torch::Tensor& input, 
                                       const FeatureParameters& params);
    
    // Or modifications to existing methods
    TrainingMetrics fit(const torch::Tensor& X, 
                       const torch::Tensor& y,
                       const NewOptions& options = {});
};
