With the increasing threat of forest fires to ecosystems and human settlements, the need for rapid and accurate detection systems is of utmost importance. SVMs, renowned for their strong classification capabilities, exhibit proficiency in recognizing patterns associated with fire within images. By training on labeled data, SVMs acquire the ability to identify distinctive attributes associated with fire, such as flames, smoke, or alterations in the visual characteristics of the forest area. The document thoroughly examines the use of SVMs, covering crucial elements like data preprocessing, feature extraction, and model training. It rigorously evaluates parameters such as accuracy, efficiency, and practical applicability. The knowledge gained from this study aids in the development of efficient forest fire detection systems, enabling prompt responses and improving disaster management. Moreover, the correlation between SVM accuracy and the difficulties presented by high-dimensional datasets is carefully investigated, demonstrated through a revealing case study. The relationship between accuracy scores and the different resolutions used for resizing the training datasets has also been discussed in this article. These comprehensive studies result in a definitive overview of the difficulties faced and the potential sectors requiring further improvement and focus.展开更多

The aim was to examine and compare these nonparametric classification methods on the following attributes: robustness to training data, sensitivity to changes, data fitting, stability, ability to handle large data sizes, sensitivity to noise, time invested in parameter tuning, and accuracy. The performances, strengths and shortcomings of each of the algorithms were examined, and finally, a conclusion was arrived at on which one has higher performance. It was evident from the literature reviewed that RF is too sensitive to small changes in the training dataset and is occasionally unstable and tends to overfit in the model. KNN is easy to implement and understand but has a major drawback of becoming significantly slow as the size of the data in use grows, while the ideal value of K for the KNN classifier is difficult to set. SVM and RF are insensitive to noise or overtraining, which shows their ability in dealing with unbalanced data. Larger input datasets will lengthen classification times for NN and KNN more than for SVM and RF. Among these nonparametric classification methods, NN has the potential to become a more widely used classification algorithm, but because of their time-consuming parameter tuning procedure, high level of complexity in computational processing, the numerous types of NN architectures to choose from and the high number of algorithms used for training, most researchers recommend SVM and RF as easier and wieldy used methods which repeatedly achieve results with high accuracies and are often faster to implement.展开更多

At first, each working environment is modeled by SVM regression and the support vector machine network-based model predictive control (SVMN-MPC) algorithm corresponding to each environment is developed, and then a multi-class SVM model is established to recognize multiple operating conditions. As for control, the current environment is identified by the multi-class SVM model and then the corresponding SVMN-MPC controller is activated at each sampling instant. The proposed modeling, switching and controller design is demonstrated in simulation results.展开更多

Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), one of the most deployable methods for detecting and predicting incipient faults in power transformers is one of the casualties. Thus, this paper proposes filling-in the missing values found in a DGA dataset using the k-nearest neighbor imputation method with two different distance metrics: Euclidean and Cityblock. Thereafter, using these imputed datasets as inputs, this study applies Support Vector Machine (SVM) to built models which are used to classify transformer faults. Experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

Classical machine learning has its quantum part, which is known as quantum machine learning (QML). QML, which is a field of quantum computing, uses some of the quantum mechanical principles and concepts which include superposition, entanglement and quantum adiabatic theorem to assess the data and make some forecasts based on the data. At the present moment, research in QML has taken two main approaches. The first approach involves implementing the computationally expensive subroutines of classical machine learning algorithms on a quantum computer. The second approach concerns using classical machine learning algorithms on a quantum information, to speed up performance of the algorithms. The work presented in this manuscript proposes a quantum support vector algorithm that can be used to forecast solar irradiation. The novelty of this work is in using quantum mechanical principles for application in machine learning. Python programming language was used to simulate the performance of the proposed algorithm on a classical computer. Simulation results that were obtained show the usefulness of this algorithm for predicting solar irradiation.展开更多

Setting parameters well is very crucial for SVM learning results and generalization ability, and now there is no systematic, general method for parameter selection. In this article, the SVM parameter selection for function approximation is regarded as a compound optimization problem and a mutative scale chaos optimization algorithm is employed to search for optimal paraxneter values. The chaos optimization algorithm is an effective way for global optimal and the mutative scale chaos algorithm could improve the search efficiency and accuracy. Several simulation examples show the sensitivity of the SVM parameters and demonstrate the superiority of this proposed method for nonlinear function approximation.展开更多

With the increasing threat of forest fires to ecosystems and human settlements, the need for rapid and accurate detection systems is of utmost importance. SVMs, renowned for their strong classification capabilities, exhibit proficiency in recognizing patterns associated with fire within images. By training on labeled data, SVMs acquire the ability to identify distinctive attributes associated with fire, such as flames, smoke, or alterations in the visual characteristics of the forest area. The document thoroughly examines the use of SVMs, covering crucial elements like data preprocessing, feature extraction, and model training. It rigorously evaluates parameters such as accuracy, efficiency, and practical applicability. The knowledge gained from this study aids in the development of efficient forest fire detection systems, enabling prompt responses and improving disaster management. Moreover, the correlation between SVM accuracy and the difficulties presented by high-dimensional datasets is carefully investigated, demonstrated through a revealing case study. The relationship between accuracy scores and the different resolutions used for resizing the training datasets has also been discussed in this article. These comprehensive studies result in a definitive overview of the difficulties faced and the potential sectors requiring further improvement and focus.

文摘In the objective world,how to deal with the complexity and uncertainty of big data efficiently and accurately has become the premise and key to machine learning.Fuzzy support vector machine(FSVM)not only deals with the classifi-cation problems for training samples with fuzzy information,but also assigns a fuzzy membership degree to each training sample,allowing different training samples to contribute differently in predicting an optimal hyperplane to separate two classes with maximum margin,reducing the effect of outliers and noise,Quantum computing has super parallel computing capabilities and holds the pro-mise of faster algorithmic processing of data.However,FSVM and quantum com-puting are incapable of dealing with the complexity and uncertainty of big data in an efficient and accurate manner.This paper research and propose an efficient and accurate quantum fuzzy support vector machine(QFSVM)algorithm based on the fact that quantum computing can efficiently process large amounts of data and FSVM is easy to deal with the complexity and uncertainty problems.The central idea of the proposed algorithm is to use the quantum algorithm for solving linear systems of equations(HHL algorithm)and the least-squares method to solve the quadratic programming problem in the FSVM.The proposed algorithm can deter-mine whether a sample belongs to the positive or negative class while also achiev-ing a good generalization performance.Furthermore,this paper applies QFSVM to handwritten character recognition and demonstrates that QFSVM can be run on quantum computers,and achieve accurate classification of handwritten characters.When compared to FSVM,QFSVM’s computational complexity decreases expo-nentially with the number of training samples.

文摘Hard rock pillar is one of the important structures in engineering design and excavation in underground mines.Accurate and convenient prediction of pillar stability is of great significance for underground space safety.This paper aims to develop hybrid support vector machine(SVM)models improved by three metaheuristic algorithms known as grey wolf optimizer(GWO),whale optimization algorithm(WOA)and sparrow search algorithm(SSA)for predicting the hard rock pillar stability.An integrated dataset containing 306 hard rock pillars was established to generate hybrid SVM models.Five parameters including pillar height,pillar width,ratio of pillar width to height,uniaxial compressive strength and pillar stress were set as input parameters.Two global indices,three local indices and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve with the area under the ROC curve(AUC)were utilized to evaluate all hybrid models’performance.The results confirmed that the SSA-SVM model is the best prediction model with the highest values of all global indices and local indices.Nevertheless,the performance of the SSASVM model for predicting the unstable pillar(AUC:0.899)is not as good as those for stable(AUC:0.975)and failed pillars(AUC:0.990).To verify the effectiveness of the proposed models,5 field cases were investigated in a metal mine and other 5 cases were collected from several published works.The validation results indicated that the SSA-SVM model obtained a considerable accuracy,which means that the combination of SVM and metaheuristic algorithms is a feasible approach to predict the pillar stability.
文摘Soil quality determination and estimation is an important issue not only for terrestrial ecosystems but also for sustainable management of soils.In this study,soil quality was determined by linear and nonlinear standard scoring function methods integrated with a neutrosophic fuzzy analytic hierarchy process in the micro catchment.In addition,soil quality values were estimated using a support vector machine(SVM)in machine learning algorithms.In order to generate spatial distribution maps of soil quality indice values,different interpolation methods were evaluated to detect the most suitable semivariogram model.While the soil quality index values obtained by the linear method were determined between 0.458-0.717,the soil quality index with the nonlinear method showed variability at the levels of 0.433-0.651.There was no statistical difference between the two methods,and they were determined to be similar.In the estimation of soil quality with SVM,the normalized root means square error(NRMSE)values obtained in the linear and nonlinear method estimation were determined as 0.057 and 0.047,respectively.The spherical model of simple kriging was determined as the interpolation method with the lowest RMSE value in the actual and predicted values of the linear method while,in the nonlinear method,the lowest error in the distribution maps was determined with exponential of the simple kriging.
文摘Lung cancer is the most dangerous and death-causing disease indicated by the presence of pulmonary nodules in the lung.It is mostly caused by the instinctive growth of cells in the lung.Lung nodule detection has a significant role in detecting and screening lung cancer in Computed tomography(CT)scan images.Early detection plays an important role in the survival rate and treatment of lung cancer patients.Moreover,pulmonary nodule classification techniques based on the convolutional neural network can be used for the accurate and efficient detection of lung cancer.This work proposed an automatic nodule detection method in CT images based on modified AlexNet architecture and Support vector machine(SVM)algorithm namely LungNet-SVM.The proposed model consists of seven convolutional layers,three pooling layers,and two fully connected layers used to extract features.Support vector machine classifier is applied for the binary classification of nodules into benign andmalignant.The experimental analysis is performed by using the publicly available benchmark dataset Lung nodule analysis 2016(LUNA16).The proposed model has achieved 97.64%of accuracy,96.37%of sensitivity,and 99.08%of specificity.A comparative analysis has been carried out between the proposed LungNet-SVM model and existing stateof-the-art approaches for the classification of lung cancer.The experimental results indicate that the proposed LungNet-SVM model achieved remarkable performance on a LUNA16 dataset in terms of accuracy.

文摘Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can lead to blindness if left untreated.Early detection is crucial to prevent vision loss,but current manual scanning methods are expensive,time-consuming,and require specialized expertise.This study presents a novel approach to Glaucoma detection using the Enhanced Grey Wolf Optimized Support Vector Machine(EGWO-SVM)method.The proposed method involves preprocessing steps such as removing image noise using the adaptive median filter(AMF)and feature extraction using the previously processed speeded-up robust feature(SURF),histogram of oriented gradients(HOG),and Global features.The enhanced Grey Wolf Optimization(GWO)technique is then employed with SVM for classification.To evaluate the proposed method,we used the online retinal images for glaucoma analysis(ORIGA)database,and it achieved high accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity rates of 94%,92%,and 92%,respectively.The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other current algorithms in detecting the presence or absence of Glaucoma.This study provides a novel and effective approach to Glaucoma detection that can potentially improve the detection process and outcomes.
文摘In computer vision,emotion recognition using facial expression images is considered an important research issue.Deep learning advances in recent years have aided in attaining improved results in this issue.According to recent studies,multiple facial expressions may be included in facial photographs representing a particular type of emotion.It is feasible and useful to convert face photos into collections of visual words and carry out global expression recognition.The main contribution of this paper is to propose a facial expression recognitionmodel(FERM)depending on an optimized Support Vector Machine(SVM).To test the performance of the proposed model(FERM),AffectNet is used.AffectNet uses 1250 emotion-related keywords in six different languages to search three major search engines and get over 1,000,000 facial photos online.The FERM is composed of three main phases:(i)the Data preparation phase,(ii)Applying grid search for optimization,and(iii)the categorization phase.Linear discriminant analysis(LDA)is used to categorize the data into eight labels(neutral,happy,sad,surprised,fear,disgust,angry,and contempt).Due to using LDA,the performance of categorization via SVM has been obviously enhanced.Grid search is used to find the optimal values for hyperparameters of SVM(C and gamma).The proposed optimized SVM algorithm has achieved an accuracy of 99%and a 98%F1 score.

文摘Maintenance operations have a critical influence on power gen-eration by wind turbines(WT).Advanced algorithms must analyze large volume of data from condition monitoring systems(CMS)to determine the actual working conditions and avoid false alarms.This paper proposes different support vector machine(SVM)algorithms for the prediction and detection of false alarms.K-Fold cross-validation(CV)is applied to evaluate the classification reliability of these algorithms.Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA)data from an operating WT are applied to test the proposed approach.The results from the quadratic SVM showed an accuracy rate of 98.6%.Misclassifications from the confusion matrix,alarm log and maintenance records are analyzed to obtain quantitative information and determine if it is a false alarm.The classifier reduces the number of false alarms called misclassifications by 25%.These results demonstrate that the proposed approach presents high reliability and accuracy in false alarm identification.

文摘Purpose–The purpose of the study is to quickly identify significant heterogeneity of surrounding rock of tunnel face that generally occurs during the construction of large-section rock tunnels of high-speed railways.Design/methodology/approach–Relying on the support vector machine(SVM)-based classification model,the nominal classification of blastholes and nominal zoning and classification terms were used to demonstrate the heterogeneity identification method for the surrounding rock of tunnel face,and the identification calculation was carried out for the five test tunnels.Then,the suggestions for local optimization of the support structures of large-section rock tunnels were put forward.Findings–The results show that compared with the two classification models based on neural networks,the SVM-based classification model has a higher classification accuracy when the sample size is small,and the average accuracy can reach 87.9%.After the samples are replaced,the SVM-based classification model can still reach the same accuracy,whose generalization ability is stronger.Originality/value–By applying the identification method described in this paper,the significant heterogeneity characteristics of the surrounding rock in the process of two times of blasting were identified,and the identification results are basically consistent with the actual situation of the tunnel face at the end of blasting,and can provide a basis for local optimization of support parameters.

文摘Support vector machine (SVM), as a novel approach in pattern recognition, has demonstrated a success in face detection and face recognition. In this paper, a face recognition approach based on the SVM classifier with the nearest neighbor classifier (NNC) is proposed. The principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimension and extract features. Then one-against-all stratedy is used to train the SVM classifiers.

文摘In this paper, sixty-eight research articles published between 2000 and 2017 as well as textbooks which employed four classification algorithms: K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Neural Network (NN) as the main statistical tools were reviewed. The aim was to examine and compare these nonparametric classification methods on the following attributes: robustness to training data, sensitivity to changes, data fitting, stability, ability to handle large data sizes, sensitivity to noise, time invested in parameter tuning, and accuracy. The performances, strengths and shortcomings of each of the algorithms were examined, and finally, a conclusion was arrived at on which one has higher performance. It was evident from the literature reviewed that RF is too sensitive to small changes in the training dataset and is occasionally unstable and tends to overfit in the model. KNN is easy to implement and understand but has a major drawback of becoming significantly slow as the size of the data in use grows, while the ideal value of K for the KNN classifier is difficult to set. SVM and RF are insensitive to noise or overtraining, which shows their ability in dealing with unbalanced data. Larger input datasets will lengthen classification times for NN and KNN more than for SVM and RF. Among these nonparametric classification methods, NN has the potential to become a more widely used classification algorithm, but because of their time-consuming parameter tuning procedure, high level of complexity in computational processing, the numerous types of NN architectures to choose from and the high number of algorithms used for training, most researchers recommend SVM and RF as easier and wieldy used methods which repeatedly achieve results with high accuracies and are often faster to implement.

文摘In this paper, a support vector machine-based multi-model predictive control is proposed, in which SVM classification combines well with SVM regression. At first, each working environment is modeled by SVM regression and the support vector machine network-based model predictive control (SVMN-MPC) algorithm corresponding to each environment is developed, and then a multi-class SVM model is established to recognize multiple operating conditions. As for control, the current environment is identified by the multi-class SVM model and then the corresponding SVMN-MPC controller is activated at each sampling instant. The proposed modeling, switching and controller design is demonstrated in simulation results.
文摘Missing values are prevalent in real-world datasets and they may reduce predictive performance of a learning algorithm. Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), one of the most deployable methods for detecting and predicting incipient faults in power transformers is one of the casualties. Thus, this paper proposes filling-in the missing values found in a DGA dataset using the k-nearest neighbor imputation method with two different distance metrics: Euclidean and Cityblock. Thereafter, using these imputed datasets as inputs, this study applies Support Vector Machine (SVM) to built models which are used to classify transformer faults. Experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
文摘Classical machine learning, which is at the intersection of artificial intelligence and statistics, investigates and formulates algorithms which can be used to discover patterns in the given data and also make some forecasts based on the given data. Classical machine learning has its quantum part, which is known as quantum machine learning (QML). QML, which is a field of quantum computing, uses some of the quantum mechanical principles and concepts which include superposition, entanglement and quantum adiabatic theorem to assess the data and make some forecasts based on the data. At the present moment, research in QML has taken two main approaches. The first approach involves implementing the computationally expensive subroutines of classical machine learning algorithms on a quantum computer. The second approach concerns using classical machine learning algorithms on a quantum information, to speed up performance of the algorithms. The work presented in this manuscript proposes a quantum support vector algorithm that can be used to forecast solar irradiation. The novelty of this work is in using quantum mechanical principles for application in machine learning. Python programming language was used to simulate the performance of the proposed algorithm on a classical computer. Simulation results that were obtained show the usefulness of this algorithm for predicting solar irradiation.

文摘The support vector machine (SVM) is a novel machine learning method, which has the ability to approximate nonlinear functions with arbitrary accuracy. Setting parameters well is very crucial for SVM learning results and generalization ability, and now there is no systematic, general method for parameter selection. In this article, the SVM parameter selection for function approximation is regarded as a compound optimization problem and a mutative scale chaos optimization algorithm is employed to search for optimal paraxneter values. The chaos optimization algorithm is an effective way for global optimal and the mutative scale chaos algorithm could improve the search efficiency and accuracy. Several simulation examples show the sensitivity of the SVM parameters and demonstrate the superiority of this proposed method for nonlinear function approximation.
