| Summary: | This paper describes a new application of the Bees Algorithm to the optimization of a Support Vector Machine
(SVM) for the problem of classifying defects in plywood. The algorithm, which is a swarm-based algorithm inspired
by the food foraging behavior of honey bees, was also employed to select the components making up the feature
vectors to be presented to the SVM. The objective of the work was to find the best combination of SVM parameters
and data features to maximize defect classification accuracy. The paper presents the results obtained to demonstrate the strengths of the Bees Algorithm as an optimization tool. |
