Optimization of Complex SVM Kernels Using a Hybrid Algorithm Based on Wasp Behaviour
2010
The aim of this paper is to present a new method for optimization of SVM multiple kernels The kernel substitution can be used to define many other types of learning machines distinct from SVMs We introduced a new hybrid method which uses in the first level an evolutionary algorithm based on wasp behaviour and on the co-mutation operator LR−Mijn and in the second level a SVM algorithm which computes the quality of chromosomes The most important details of our algorithms are presented The testing and validation proves that multiple kernels obtained using our genetic approach are improving the classification accuracy up to 94.12% for the “leukemia” data set.
Applications of Kernel Methods
2009
In this chapter, we give a survey of applications of the kernel methods introduced in the previous chapter. We focus on different application domains that are particularly active in both direct application of well-known kernel methods, and in new algorithmic developments suited to a particular problem. In particular, we consider the following application fields: biomedical engineering (comprising both biological signal processing and bioinformatics), communications, signal, speech and image processing.
Learning non-linear time-scales with kernel -filters
2009
A family of kernel methods, based on the @c-filter structure, is presented for non-linear system identification and time series prediction. The kernel trick allows us to develop the natural non-linear extension of the (linear) support vector machine (SVM) @c-filter [G. Camps-Valls, M. Martinez-Ramon, J.L. Rojo-Alvarez, E. Soria-Olivas, Robust @c-filter using support vector machines, Neurocomput. J. 62(12) (2004) 493-499.], but this approach yields a rigid system model without non-linear cross relation between time-scales. Several functional analysis properties allow us to develop a full, principled family of kernel @c-filters. The improved performance in several application examples suggest…
Fuzzy sigmoid kernel for support vector classifiers
2004
This Letter proposes the use of the fuzzy sigmoid function presented in (IEEE Trans. Neural Networks 14(6) (2003) 1576) as non-positive semi-definite kernel in the support vector machines framework. The fuzzy sigmoid kernel allows lower computational cost, and higher rate of positive eigenvalues of the kernel matrix, which alleviates current limitations of the sigmoid kernel.
Semisupervised Kernel Feature Extraction for Remote Sensing Image Analysis
2014
This paper presents a novel semisupervised kernel partial least squares (KPLS) algorithm for nonlinear feature extraction to tackle both land-cover classification and biophysical parameter retrieval problems. The proposed method finds projections of the original input data that align with the target variable (labels) and incorporates the wealth of unlabeled information to deal with low-sized or underrepresented data sets. The method relies on combining two kernel functions: the standard radial-basis-function kernel based on labeled information and a generative, i.e., probabilistic, kernel directly learned by clustering the data many times and at different scales across the data manifold. Th…
A family of kernel anomaly change detectors
2014
This paper introduces the nonlinear extension of the anomaly change detection algorithms in [1] based on the theory of reproducing kernels. The presented methods generalize their linear counterparts, under both the Gaussian and elliptically-contoured assumptions, and produce both improved detection accuracies and reduced false alarm rates. We study the Gaussianity of the data in Hilbert spaces with kernel dependence estimates, provide low-rank kernel versions to cope with the high computational cost of the methods, and give prescriptions about the selection of the kernel functions and their parameters. We illustrate the performance of the introduced kernel methods in both pervasive and anom…
Semi-Supervised Remote Sensing Image Classification based on Clustering and the Mean Map Kernel
2008
This paper presents a semi-supervised classifier based on the combination of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and the mean map kernel. The proposed method uses the most reliable samples in terms of maximum likelihood to compute a kernel function that accurately reflects the similarity between clusters in the kernel space. The proposed method improves classification accuracy in situations where the available labeled information does not properly describe the classes in the test image.
