__Abstract__ Traditional extensions of the binary support vector machine (SVM) to multiclass problems are either heuristics or require solving a large dual optimization problem. Here, a generalized multiclass SVM called GenSVM is proposed, which can be used for classification problems where the...

The aims of the paper are multifold, to propose a new method to determine a suitable value of the bias corresponding to the soft margin SVM classifier and to experimentally evaluate the quality of the found value against one of the standard expression of the bias computed in terms of the support...
