“…We employed a grid search technique to decide the optimal combinations of these parameters in the SVM structure in terms of the classification performance. The grid search algorithm trained OAA MCSVMs with a pair (C, σ) in the cross product of the following two sets and evaluated their performances: C ∈ 2 −5 , 2 −3 , 2 −1 , 2, 2 3 , 2 5 , 2 7 , 2 9 , 2 11 , 2 13 , 2 15 and σ ∈ 2 −2 , 2 −1 , 2, 2 2 , 2 3 , 2 4 , 2 5 , 2 6 , 2 7 . Finally, the pair (C, σ), which helps OAA MCSVMs deliver the highest classification performance, was considered as the best combination of these parameters.…”
