Multi-objective uniform design as a SVM model selection tool for face recognition

► We present a multi-objective uniform design (MOUD) search method as a SVM model selection tool. ► We adopt uniform design searching SVM optimal hyperparameters to reduce the computational cost. ► We change single objective criterion into multi-objective criteria for multi-objective optimization to increase classification ability. ► We apply the optimized SVM classifier by MOUD to face recognition and get good experimental results.
