I have a question!

In the pdf, it said that the optimization problem in SVMs have a nice property in that it was quadratic, which means that there's a nice global minimum to go towards, and not lots of local minimum like in NN. That means, it seems SVMs won't get stuck at a suboptimal solution.

Is that not a problem in DNNs now? Or is it that it's such high dimensionality that local minima don't stop the optimizer, because there's always another way around the local minimum?
