any visualization of these algorithms in 2 dimensions (with cubic feature expansion!) is completely misleading if you intend to work on any real problem with many dimensions. Also, for those asking for execution times, these would be horribly misleading as well.

+1!

Are you aware of reasonable high dimensional "visualizations". It cant' be accurate of course. But catpuring essential features would be nice.

E.g. here is a 4d cube: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:8-cell.gif
