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

In this paper, a new multi-class fault diagnosis algorithm based on H-SVM is proposed and applied to aero-engine. Before SVM training, the training data are first clustered according to their class-center Euclid distances in some feature spaces. The samples which have close distances are divided into the same sub-classes for training, and this makes the H-SVM have reasonable hierarchical construction and good generalization performance. Instead of the common C-SVM, the v-SVM is selected as the binary classifier, in which the parameter v varies only from 0 to 1 and can be determined more easily. The simulation results show that the designed H-SVMs can fast diagnose the multi-class single faults and combination faults for the gas path components of an aero-engine. The fault classifiers have good diagnosis accuracy and can keep robust even when the measurement inputs are disturbed by noises.展开更多

The centralized and distributed fusion schemes are applied to combine information from several data sources. In the centralized scheme, all information from several data sources is centralized to construct an input space. Then a multi-class Support Vector Machine classifier is trained. In the distributed schemes, the individual data sources are proc-essed separately and modelled by using the multi-class Support Vector Machine. Then new data fusion strategies are proposed to combine the information from the individual multi-class Support Vector Machine models. Our proposed fusion strategies take into account that an Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier achieves classification by finding the optimal classification hyperplane with maximal margin. The proposed methods are applied for fault diagnosis of a diesel engine. The experimental results showed that almost all the proposed approaches can largely improve the diagnostic accuracy. The robustness of diagnosis is also improved because of the implementation of data fusion strategies. The proposed methods can also be applied in other fields.展开更多

文摘In this paper,a new multiclass classification algorithm is proposed based on the idea of Locally Linear Embedding(LLE),to avoid the defect of traditional manifold learning algorithms,which can not deal with new sample points.The algorithm defines an error as a criterion by computing a sample's reconstruction weight using LLE.Furthermore,the existence and characteristics of low dimensional manifold in range-profile time-frequency information are explored using manifold learning algorithm,aiming at the problem of target recognition about high range resolution MilliMeter-Wave(MMW) radar.The new algorithm is applied to radar target recognition.The experiment results show the algorithm is efficient.Compared with other classification algorithms,our method improves the recognition precision and the result is not sensitive to input parameters.

文摘Classification,using the decision tree algorithm,is a widely studied problem in data streams.The challenge is when to split a decision node into multiple leaves.Concentration inequalities,that exploit variance information such as Bernstein's and Bennett's inequalities,are often substantially strict as compared with Hoeffding's bound which disregards variance.Many machine learning algorithms for stream classification such as very fast decision tree(VFDT) learner,AdaBoost and support vector machines(SVMs),use the Hoeffding's bound as a performance guarantee.In this paper,we propose a new algorithm based on the recently proposed empirical Bernstein's bound to achieve a better probabilistic bound on the accuracy of the decision tree.Experimental results on four synthetic and two real world data sets demonstrate the performance gain of our proposed technique.

文摘Human activity recognition is a significant area of research in artificial intelligence for surveillance,healthcare,sports,and human-computer interaction applications.The article benchmarks the performance of You Only Look Once version 11-based(YOLOv11-based)architecture for multi-class human activity recognition.The article benchmarks the performance of You Only Look Once version 11-based(YOLOv11-based)architecture for multi-class human activity recognition.The dataset consists of 14,186 images across 19 activity classes,from dynamic activities such as running and swimming to static activities such as sitting and sleeping.Preprocessing included resizing all images to 512512 pixels,annotating them in YOLO’s bounding box format,and applying data augmentation methods such as flipping,rotation,and cropping to enhance model generalization.The proposed model was trained for 100 epochs with adaptive learning rate methods and hyperparameter optimization for performance improvement,with a mAP@0.5 of 74.93%and a mAP@0.5-0.95 of 64.11%,outperforming previous versions of YOLO(v10,v9,and v8)and general-purpose architectures like ResNet50 and EfficientNet.It exhibited improved precision and recall for all activity classes with high precision values of 0.76 for running,0.79 for swimming,0.80 for sitting,and 0.81 for sleeping,and was tested for real-time deployment with an inference time of 8.9 ms per image,being computationally light.Proposed YOLOv11’s improvements are attributed to architectural advancements like a more complex feature extraction process,better attention modules,and an anchor-free detection mechanism.While YOLOv10 was extremely stable in static activity recognition,YOLOv9 performed well in dynamic environments but suffered from overfitting,and YOLOv8,while being a decent baseline,failed to differentiate between overlapping static activities.The experimental results determine proposed YOLOv11 to be the most appropriate model,providing an ideal balance between accuracy,computational efficiency,and robustness for real-world deployment.Nevertheless,there exist certain issues to be addressed,particularly in discriminating against visually similar activities and the use of publicly available datasets.Future research will entail the inclusion of 3D data and multimodal sensor inputs,such as depth and motion information,for enhancing recognition accuracy and generalizability to challenging real-world environments.

文摘Hierarchical Support Vector Machine （H-SVM） is faster in training and classification than other usual multi-class SVMs such as ＂1-V-R＂and ＂1-V-1＂. In this paper, a new multi-class fault diagnosis algorithm based on H-SVM is proposed and applied to aero-engine. Before SVM training, the training data are first clustered according to their class-center Euclid distances in some feature spaces. The samples which have close distances are divided into the same sub-classes for training, and this makes the H-SVM have reasonable hierarchical construction and good generalization performance. Instead of the common C-SVM, the v-SVM is selected as the binary classifier, in which the parameter v varies only from 0 to 1 and can be determined more easily. The simulation results show that the designed H-SVMs can fast diagnose the multi-class single faults and combination faults for the gas path components of an aero-engine. The fault classifiers have good diagnosis accuracy and can keep robust even when the measurement inputs are disturbed by noises.
文摘Multi-source multi-class classification methods based on multi-class Support Vector Machines and data fusion strategies are proposed in this paper. The centralized and distributed fusion schemes are applied to combine information from several data sources. In the centralized scheme, all information from several data sources is centralized to construct an input space. Then a multi-class Support Vector Machine classifier is trained. In the distributed schemes, the individual data sources are proc-essed separately and modelled by using the multi-class Support Vector Machine. Then new data fusion strategies are proposed to combine the information from the individual multi-class Support Vector Machine models. Our proposed fusion strategies take into account that an Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier achieves classification by finding the optimal classification hyperplane with maximal margin. The proposed methods are applied for fault diagnosis of a diesel engine. The experimental results showed that almost all the proposed approaches can largely improve the diagnostic accuracy. The robustness of diagnosis is also improved because of the implementation of data fusion strategies. The proposed methods can also be applied in other fields.
