Abstract
Support vector machines, especially when using radial basis kernels, have given good results in the classification of different volatile compounds. We can achieve a feature extraction method adjusting the parameters of a modified radial basis kernel, giving more importance to those features that are important for classification proposes. However, the function that has to be minimized to find the best scaling factors is not derivable and has multiple local minima. In this work we propose to adapt the ideas of the ant colony optimization method to find an optimal value of the kernel parameters.
