\chapter{Support Vector Machines}

The \gls{svm} is used widely in the area of pattern recognition.
% plural form with initial letter in uppercase:
\Glspl{svm} are \ldots\ (but beware, converting the initial letter to
upper case for a small caps acronym is sometimes considered 
poor style).

Short version: \acrshort{svm}. Long version: \acrlong{svm}. Full 
version: \acrfull{svm}. Description: \glsentrydesc{svm}.

This is the entry in uppercase: \GLS{svm}.

\chapter{Kernel Support Vector Machines}

The \gls{ksvm} is \ifglsused{svm}{an}{a} \gls{svm} that uses
the so called ``kernel trick''. This is the entry's description without
a link: \glsentrydesc{ksvm}.

\glsresetall
(Reset all.)
Possessive: \gls{ksvm}['s].
Make the glossary entry number bold for this 
one \gls[format=hyperbf]{svm}.
