Research on SVM Algorithm with Particle Swarm Optimization

Support Vector Machines (SVM) is a practical algorithm that has been widely used in many areas. To guarantee its satisfying performance, it is important to set appropriate parameters of SVM algorithm. Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) is an effective training algorithm belonging to SVM, i.e.LS_SVM. Therefore, on the basis of the SMO algorithm and LS_SVM, which integrates SMO algorithm and LS_SVM, we introduced Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and utilized an example to certify its validity. PSO is proposed to deal with the large amount of data, and the simulation results showed the effectiveness of this method.
