Suppose you want to write an algorithm that decides, based on two parameters, size and price, if an house will sell in the same year it was put on sale or not. So you have 2 inputs, size and price, and one output, will sell or will not sell. Now, when you receive your training sets, it could happen that the output is not accumulated to make our prediction easy (Can you tell me, based on the first graph if X will be an N or S? How about the second graph):
Where:
S-sold,
N-not sold
As you can see in the first graph, you can't really separate the two possible outputs (sold/not sold) by a straight line, no matter how you try there will always be both S and N on the both sides of the line, which means that your algorithm will have a lot of possible lines but no ultimate, correct line to split the 2 outputs (and of course to predict new ones, which is the goal from the very beginning). That's why linearly separable (the second graph) data sets are much easier to predict.
