Since the classification performance of DTSVM highly depends on its structure, to cluster the multi-classes with maximum distance between the clustering centers of the two sub-classes, genetic algorithm is introduced into the formation of decision tree, so that the most separable classes would be separated at each node of decisions tree. Numerical simulations conducted on three datasets compared with ＂one-against-all＂ and ＂one-against-one＂ demonstrate the proposed method has better performance and higher generalization ability than the two conventional methods.展开更多

The measures used to judge the veracity of the detection algorithms become critical to the deployment of a model that accurately scores fraudulent transactions taking into account case imbalance, and the cost of identifying a case as genuine when, in fact, the case is a fraudulent transaction. In this paper, a new criterion to judge classification algorithms, which considers the cost of misclassification, is proposed, and several undersampling techniques are compared by this new criterion. At the same time, a weighted support vector machine (SVM) algorithm considering the financial cost of misclassification is introduced, proving to be more practical for credit card fraud detection than traditional methodologies. This weighted SVM uses transaction balances as weights for fraudulent transactions, and a uniformed weight for nonfraudulent transactions. The results show this strategy greatly improve performance of credit card fraud detection.展开更多

The main drawback of SVC is its high computational complexity in getting the adjacency matrix describing the connectivity for each pairs of points. Based on the proximity graph model [3], the Euclidean distance in Hilbert space is calculated using a Gaussian kernel, which is the right criterion to generate a minimum spanning tree using Kruskal's algorithm. Then the connectivity estimation is lowered by only checking the linkages between the edges that construct the main stem of the MST (Minimum Spanning Tree), in which the non-compatibility degree is originally defined to support the edge selection during linkage estimations. This new approach is experimentally analyzed. The results show that the revised algorithm has a better performance than the proximity graph model with faster speed, optimized clustering quality and strong ability to noise suppression, which makes SVC scalable to large data sets.展开更多

This suggests that these students have different experiences which impact on their levels of grasping information in class as they potentially use different lenses on tuition. The current practice in Universities in contributing to the academic performance of students includes the use of tutors, the use of mobile devices for first year students, use of student assistants and the use of different feedback measures. What is problematic about the current practice is that students are quitting university in high numbers. In this study, knowledge has been drawn from data through the use of machine learning algorithms. Bayesian networks, support vector machines （SVMs） and decision trees algorithms were used individually in this work to construct predictive models for the academic performance of students. The best model was constructed using SVM and it gave a prediction of 72.87% and a prediction cost of 139. The model does predict the performance of students in advance of the year-end examinations outcome. The results suggest that South African Universities must recognize the diversity in student population and thus provide students with better support and equip them with the necessary knowledge that will enable them to tap into their full potential and thus enhance their skills.展开更多

Previously, many machine learning approaches and classifiers were used to detect fraudulent transactions. However, because fraud patterns are always changing, it is becoming increasingly vital to investigate new frauds and develop the model based on the new patterns. The purpose of this research is to create a machine learning classifier that not only detects fraud but also detects legitimate transactions. As a result, the model should have excellent accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score. As a result, we began with a large dataset in this study and used four machine learning classifiers: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, and Random Forest. The random forest classifier scored 99.96% overall accuracy with the best precision, recall, f1-score, and Matthews correlation coefficient in the experiments.展开更多

However, challenges such as occlusion, multi-target interference, and nonlinear motion in dynamic scenarios make tracking accuracy and stability a focus of ongoing research. This paper proposes an integrated method combining YOLOv8 object detection with adaptive Kalman filtering. The approach employs a support vector machine (SVM) to dynamically select the optimal filter (including standard Kalman filter, extended Kalman filter, and unscented Kalman filter), enhancing the system’s adaptability to different motion patterns. Additionally, an error feedback mechanism is incorporated to dynamically adjust filter parameters, further improving responsiveness to sudden events. Experimental results on the KITTI and UA-DETRAC datasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves detection accuracy (mAP@0.5 increased by approximately 3%), tracking accuracy (MOTA improved by 5%), and system robustness, providing an efficient solution for vehicle tracking in complex environments.展开更多

It is reported to have a high accuracy and rapid processing speed. In addition, it is impossible to steal a vein pattern located inside the finger. We propose a new identification method of finger vascular patterns using a weighted local binary pattern (LBP) and support vector machine (SVM). This research is novel in the following three ways. First, holistic codes are extracted through the LBP method without using a vein detection procedure. This reduces the processing time and the complexities in detecting finger vein patterns. Second, we classify the local areas from which the LBP codes are extracted into three categories based on the SVM classifier: local areas that include a large amount (LA), a medium amount (MA), and a small amount (SA) of vein patterns. Third, different weights are assigned to the extracted LBP code according to the local area type (LA, MA, and SA) from which the LBP codes were extracted. The optimal weights are determined empirically in terms of the accuracy of the finger vein recognition. Experimental results show that our equal error rate (EER) is significantly lower compared to that without the proposed method or using a conventional method.展开更多

Gonen et al. (2008) extended PPSVMs to a multiclass case by both single-machine and multimachine approaches. However, these extensions suffer from low classification efficiency, high computational burden, and more importantly, unclassifiable regions. To achieve higher classification efficiency and accuracy with fewer SVs, a binary tree of PPSVMs for the multiclass classification problem is proposed in this letter. Moreover, a Fisher ratio separability measure is adopted to determine the tree structure. Several experiments on handwritten recognition datasets are included to illustrate the proposed approach. Specifically, the Fisher ratio separability accelerated binary tree of PPSVMs obtains overall test accuracy, if not higher than, at least comparable to those of other multiclass algorithms, while using significantly fewer SVs and much less test time.展开更多

Second, we classify the local areas from which the LBP codes are extracted into three categories based on the SVM classifier: local areas that include a large amount (LA), a medium amount (MA), and a small amount (SA) of vein patterns. Third, different weights are assigned to the extracted LBP code according to the local area type (LA, MA, and SA) from which the LBP codes were extracted. The optimal weights are determined empirically in terms of the accuracy of the finger vein recognition. Experimental results show that our equal error rate (EER) is significantly lower compared to that without the proposed method or using a conventional method.

文摘Posterior probability support vector machines (PPSVMs) prove robust against noises and outliers and need fewer storage support vectors (SVs). Gonen et al. (2008) extended PPSVMs to a multiclass case by both single-machine and multimachine approaches. However, these extensions suffer from low classification efficiency, high computational burden, and more importantly, unclassifiable regions. To achieve higher classification efficiency and accuracy with fewer SVs, a binary tree of PPSVMs for the multiclass classification problem is proposed in this letter. Moreover, a Fisher ratio separability measure is adopted to determine the tree structure. Several experiments on handwritten recognition datasets are included to illustrate the proposed approach. Specifically, the Fisher ratio separability accelerated binary tree of PPSVMs obtains overall test accuracy, if not higher than, at least comparable to those of other multiclass algorithms, while using significantly fewer SVs and much less test time.
