Abstract

The parameters optimization of the penalty constant C and the bandwidth of the radial basis function (RBF) kernel σ is an important step in establishing an efficient and high-performance support vector machines (SVMs) model. Aiming at optimizing the parameters of SVMs, this paper presents a grid-based ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm to choose parameters C and σ automatically for SVMs instead of selecting parameters randomly by human's experience, so that the generalization error can be reduced and the generalization performance can be improved simultaneously. Some experimental results confirm the feasibility and efficiency of the approach.
