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.

Definition and Performance Evaluation of a Robust SVM Based Fall Detection Solution

2012

We propose an automatic approach to detect falls in home environment. A Support Vector Machine based classifier is fed by a set of selected features extracted from human body silhouette tracking. The classifier is followed by filtering operations taking into account the temporal nature of a video. The features are based on height and width of human body bounding box, the user's trajectory with her/his orientation, Projection Histograms and moments of order 0, 1 and 2. We study several combinations of usual transformations of the features (Fourier Transform, Wavelet transform, first and second derivatives), and we show experimentally that it is possible to achieve high performance using a si…

An AI Walk from Pharmacokinetics to Marketing

2009

This work is intended for providing a review of reallife practical applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods. We focus on the use of Machine Learning (ML) methods applied to rather real problems than synthetic problems with standard and controlled environment. In particular, we will describe the following problems in next sections: • Optimization of Erythropoietin (EPO) dosages in anaemic patients undergoing Chronic Renal Failure (CRF). • Optimization of a recommender system for citizen web portal users. • Optimization of a marketing campaign. The choice of these problems is due to their relevance and their heterogeneity. This heterogeneity shows the capabilities and versatility …

Real-time flaw detection on complex part: Study of SVM and hyperrectangle based method

2002

We present in this paper the study of two classifications methods used in order to control in real-time some industrials parts. We present the practical frame in which is made the operations, natures of the anomaly to be detected as well as the features extractions method. We tested two techniques of classification, with different algorithm complexities and performances. We compare the results obtained on various features spaces. We end by a combinatorial perspective of results of classification.

A Review of Kernel Methods in ECG Signal Classification

2011

Kernel methods have been shown to be effective in the analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. These techniques provide a consistent and well-founded theoretical framework for developing nonlinear algorithms. Kernel methods exhibit useful properties when applied to challenging design scenarios, such as: (1) when dealing with low number of (potentially high dimensional) training samples; (2) in the presence of heterogenous multimodalities; and (3) with different noise sources in the data. These characteristics are particularly appropriate for biomedical signal processing and analysis, and hence, the widespread of these techniques in biomedical signal processing in general, and in ECG dat…

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.

An architecture for automatic gesture analysis

2000

The field of human-computer interaction has been widely investigated in the last years, resulting in a variety of systems used in different application fields like virtual reality simulation environments, software user interfaces, and digital library systems.A very crucial part of all these systems is the input module which is devoted to recognize the human operator in terms of tracking and/or recognition of human face, arms position, hand gestures, and so on.In this work a software architecture is presented, for the automatic recognition of human arms poses. Our research has been carried on in the robotics framework. A mobile robot that has to find its path to the goal in a partially struc…

Improvement of multimodal images classification based on DSMT using visual saliency model fusion with SVM

2019

Multimodal images carry available information that can be complementary, redundant information, and overcomes the various problems attached to the unimodal classification task, by modeling and combining these information together. Although, this classification gives acceptable classification results, it still does not reach the level of the visual perception model that has a great ability to classify easily observed scene thanks to the powerful mechanism of the human brain.
  In order to improve the classification task in multimodal image area, we propose a methodology based on Dezert-Smarandache formalism (DSmT), allowing fusing the combined spectral and dense SURF features extracted …

Training label cleaning with ant colony optimization for classification of remote sensing imagery

2015

This paper presents an original approach for improving performances of the supervised classifiers in remote sensing imagery by proposing a technique to refine a given training set using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The new method called ACO-Training Label Cleaning (ACO-TLC) applies ACO model for selection of the significant training samples from a given set of labeled vectors in order to optimize the quality of a supervised classifier. This means to retain the most informative samples and to remove the uncertain or misclassified training samples, which lead to classification errors. As a result of the selection process, we can obtain a purified training set. The proposed model is implemen…
