变尺度混沌优化支持向量机模型选择

1 Introduction Support vector machine (SVM) is a powerful ma-chine learning tool capable of representing non-linearrelationships and producing models that generalizeswell to unseen data .SVMhave been applied widelyinmany fields1]such as hand-written character recogni-tion ,text categorization,computer vision,speechrec-ognition and gene classification,etc. Despite this , using an SVM requires a certainamount of model selection,i.e.,selection of the ac-tual kernel and its parameters .In rec…

Model selection for svm using imitative scale chaos optimization algorithm

This paper proposes a new search strategy using mutative scale chaos optimization algorithm (MSCO) for model selection of support vector machine (SVM). It searches the parameter space of SVM with a very high efficiency and finds the optimum parameter setting for a practical classification problem with very low time cost. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method it is applied to model selection of SVM in ultrasonic flaw classification and compared with grid search for model selection. Experimental results show that MSCO is a very powerful tool for model selection of SVM, and outperforms grid search in search speed and precision in ultrasonic flaw classification.
