The practical SVM guide (Hsu et al. 2003) recommends: scale features, use RBF kernel as default, and grid-search C and gamma via cross-validation.

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

• IN svm-codified-practical-methodology — SVMs have an unusually prescriptive practical methodology for ML: standardize features first, default to RBF kernel, then grid-search C and gamma with cross-validation.
