Support Vector Machines (SVMs) can learn from high-dimensional and small amounts of training data, thanks to effective optimization methods and a diverse set of kernel functions (KFs). The adaptability of SVM to numerous real-world problems has increased interest in the SVM method, and studies conducted with this method carry significant weight in various fields. The fixed parameter "AtanK" for KFs must be specified before the SVM model training process. Therefore, determining the appropriate kernel parameter values can be timE−consuming and may lead to slow convergence of the SVM model. On the other hand, the method provides faster and more robust convergence due to the adaptive parameter in the SVM model. In this study, a new Adaptive Arctan (AA) KF, tailored to the characteristics of different datasets, is proposed as an enhancement to the AtanK KF for the SVM algorithm. The proposed AA KF is compared with experimental results on 30 public KEEL and UCI datasets, alongside AtanK, adaptive Gaussian, Radial Basis Function, linear, and polynomial KFs. The results demonstrate that the proposed AA KF outperforms the other KFs, and it exhibits superior learning ability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
