SRSM integrates the advantages of support vector machine(SVM) and traditional response surface method(RSM), and utilizes experimental samples to construct a suitable response surface function(RSF) to replace the complicated and abstract finite element model. Moreover, the randomness of material parameters, structural dimension and operating condition are considered during extracting data so that the response surface function is more agreeable to the practical model. The results indicate that based on the same experimental data, SRSM has come closer than RSM reliability to approximating Monte Carlo method(MCM); while SRSM(17.296 s) needs far less running time than MCM(10958 s) and RSM(9840 s). Therefore,under the same simulation conditions, SRSM has the largest analysis efficiency, and can be considered a feasible and valid method to analyze structural reliability.展开更多

Meanwhile, a new multi-class classification method is proposed. Originated from support vector data description, AHSVM adopts hyper-sphere to solve classification problem. AHSVM can obey two principles： the margin maximization and inner-class dispersion minimization. Moreover, the hyper-sphere of AHSVM is adjustable, which makes the final classification hyper-sphere optimal for training dataset. On the other hand, AHSVM is combined with binary tree to solve multi-class classification for steel surface defects. A scheme of samples pruning in mapped feature space is provided, which can reduce the number of training samples under the premise of classification accuracy, resulting in the improvements of classification speed. Finally, some testing experiments are done for eight types of strip steel surface defects. Experimental results show that multi-class AHSVM classifier exhibits satisfactory results in classification accuracy and efficiency.展开更多

Here, the authors combine the complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition （CEEMD） and support vector machine （SVM） methods to predict SST. Extensive tests from several different aspects are presented to validate the effectiveness of the CEEMD-SVM method.

However, the defect samples obtained from the real production line may be noise. LS-SVM suffers from the poor classification performance in the classification stage when there are noise samples. Thus, in the classification stage, it is necessary to design an effective algorithm to process the defects dataset obtained from the real production line. To this end, an adaptive weight function was employed to reduce the adverse effect of noise samples. Moreover, although LSSVM offers fast speed, it still suffers from a high computational complexity if the number of training samples is large. The time for steel surface defects classification should be as short as possible. Therefore, a sparse strategy was adopted to prune the training samples. Finally, since the steel surface defects classification belongs to unbalanced data classification, LSSVM algorithm is not applicable. Hence, the unbalanced data information was introduced to improve the classification performance. Comprehensively considering above-mentioned factors, an improved LS-SVM classification model was proposed, termed as ILS-SVM. Experimental results show that the new algorithm has the advantages of high speed and great anti-noise ability.展开更多

According to the quantitative analysis of the influence degree and occurrence probability of risk factors, the Borda counts for failure modes are obtained with the Borda method. The risk indexes of failure modes are derived from the Borda matrix. Based on the support vector machine （SVM）, a casing life prediction model is established. In the prediction model, eight risk indexes are defined as input vectors and casing life is defined as the output vector. The ideal model parameters are determined with the training set from 19 wells with casing failure. The casing life prediction software is developed with the SVM model as a predictor. The residual life of 60 wells with casing failure is predicted with the software, and then compared with the actual casing life. The comparison results show that the casing life prediction software with the SVM model has high accuracy.展开更多

A new reliability analysis approach was presented based on three-dimensional Morgenstem-Price method to investigate three-dimensional effect of landslide in stability analyses. To obtain the reliability index, Support Vector Machine （SVM） was applied to approximate the performance function. The time-consuming of this approach is only 0.028% of that using Monte-Carlo method at the same computation accuracy. Also, the influence of time effect of shearing strength parameters of slope soils on the long-term reliability of three-dimensional slopes was investigated by this new approach. It is found that the reliability index of the slope would decrease by 52.54% and the failure probability would increase from 0.000 705% to 1.966%. In the end, the impact of variation coefficients of c andfon reliability index of slopes was taken into discussion and the changing trend was observed.展开更多

To overcome these difficulties, we develop a machine vision inspection system. We first compare several kinds of methods for feature extraction and classification, and then present a real-time automated visual inspection system for copper strips surface （CSS） defects based on compound moment invariants and support vector machine （SVM）. The proposed method first processes images collected by hardware system, and then extracts feature characteristics based on grayscale characteristics and morphologic characteristics （Hu and Zernike compound moment invariants）. Finally, we use SVM to classify the CSS defects. Furthermore, performance comparisons among SVM, back propagation （BP） and radial basis function （RBF） neural networks have been involved. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves an accuracy of 95.8% in detecting CSS defects.展开更多

Therefore, efficient machine learning and classification algorithms are required to automate the classifying process. We propose to apply the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm to classify galaxy morphologies and Krylov iterative methods to improve runtime of the classification. The accuracy of the classification is measured on various categories of galaxies from the survey. A three-class algorithm is presented that makes use of multiple SVMs. This algorithm is used to assign the categories of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. A selection of Krylov iterative solvers are compared based on their efficiency and accuracy of the resulting classification. The experimental results demonstrate that runtime can be significantly improved by utilizing Krylov iterative methods without impacting classification accuracy. The generalized minimal residual method (GMRES) is shown to be the most efficient solver to classify galaxy morphologies.展开更多

Different kinds of descriptors were calculated for each compounds using dragon package. The variable selection technique of enhanced replacement method(ERM) was employed to select optimal subset of descriptors. Our investigation reveals that the dependence of physico-chemical properties on solvation enthalpy is a nonlinear observable fact and that ERM method is unable to model the solvation enthalpy accurately. The standard error value of prediction set for support vector machine(SVM) is 1.681 kJ ? mol^(-1) while it is 4.624 kJ ? mol^(-1) for ERM. The results established that the calculated ΔHSolvvalues by SVM were in good agreement with the experimental ones, and the performances of the SVM models were superior to those obtained by ERM one. This indicates that SVM can be used as an alternative modeling tool for QSPR studies.展开更多

This paper presents a SVM-based method for visualizing dynamically discriminative activation of whole-brain voxels between two kinds of tasks without any contrast. Our method provides a series of dynamic spatial discrimination maps (DSDMs), representing the temporal evolution of discriminative brain activation during a duty cycle and describing how the discriminating information changes over the duty cycle. The proposed method was applied to investigate discriminative brain functional activations of whole brain voxels dynamically based on a hand-motor task experiment. A set of DSDMs between left hand movement and right hand movement were reached. Our results demonstrated not only where but also when the discriminative activations of whole brain voxels occurred between left hand movement and right hand movement during one duty cycle.展开更多

The traditional methods using the direct solvers are costly. We know that the linear equations should be solved repeatedly for choosing appropriate parameters in LSSVM, so the key for speeding up LSSVM is to improve the method of solving the linear equations. We approximate large-scale kernel matrices and get the approximate solution of linear equations by using randomized singular value decomposition（randomized SVD）. Some data sets coming from University of California Irvine machine learning repository are used to perform the experiments. We find LSSVM based on randomized SVD is more accurate and less time-consuming in the case of large number of variables than the method based on Nystrom method or Lanczos process.展开更多

Our investigation reveals that the dependence of physico-chemical properties on solvation enthalpy is a nonlinear observable fact and that ERM method is unable to model the solvation enthalpy accurately. The standard error value of prediction set for support vector machine(SVM) is 1.681 kJ ? mol^(-1) while it is 4.624 kJ ? mol^(-1) for ERM. The results established that the calculated ΔHSolvvalues by SVM were in good agreement with the experimental ones, and the performances of the SVM models were superior to those obtained by ERM one. This indicates that SVM can be used as an alternative modeling tool for QSPR studies.

文摘To improve the training speed of support vector machine （SVM）, a method called improved center distance ratio method （ICDRM） with determining thresholds automatically is presented here without reduce the identification rate. In this method border vectors are chosen from the given samples by comparing sample vectors with center distance ratio in advance. The number of training samples is reduced greatly and the training speed is improved. This method is used to the identification for license plate characters. Experimental resuhs show that the improved SVM method-ICDRM does well at identification rate and training speed.
文摘As a set of supervised pattern recognition methods, support vector machines (SVMs) have been successfully applied to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) field, but few studies have focused on visualizing discriminative regions of whole brain between different cognitive tasks dynamically. This paper presents a SVM-based method for visualizing dynamically discriminative activation of whole-brain voxels between two kinds of tasks without any contrast. Our method provides a series of dynamic spatial discrimination maps (DSDMs), representing the temporal evolution of discriminative brain activation during a duty cycle and describing how the discriminating information changes over the duty cycle. The proposed method was applied to investigate discriminative brain functional activations of whole brain voxels dynamically based on a hand-motor task experiment. A set of DSDMs between left hand movement and right hand movement were reached. Our results demonstrated not only where but also when the discriminative activations of whole brain voxels occurred between left hand movement and right hand movement during one duty cycle.

文摘In this paper, we investigate the linear solver in least square support vector machine（LSSVM） for large-scale data regression. The traditional methods using the direct solvers are costly. We know that the linear equations should be solved repeatedly for choosing appropriate parameters in LSSVM, so the key for speeding up LSSVM is to improve the method of solving the linear equations. We approximate large-scale kernel matrices and get the approximate solution of linear equations by using randomized singular value decomposition（randomized SVD）. Some data sets coming from University of California Irvine machine learning repository are used to perform the experiments. We find LSSVM based on randomized SVD is more accurate and less time-consuming in the case of large number of variables than the method based on Nystrom method or Lanczos process.
