Taking the one-to-one air combat as an example and on the basis of air combat data recorded by the air combat maneuvering instrument, the problem of air combat situation assessment is equivalent to the situation classification problem of air combat data. The fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is proposed to cluster the selected air combat sample data and the situation classification of the data is determined by the data correlation analysis in combination with the clustering results and the pilots＇ description of the air combat process. On the basis of semi-supervised naive Bayes classifier, an improved algorithm is proposed based on data classification confidence, through which the situation classification of air combat data is carried out. The simulation results show that the improved algorithm can assess the air combat situation effectively and the improvement of the algorithm can promote the classification performance without significantly affecting the efficiency of the classifier.展开更多

Since the objective function of the model for an unstrained semi-supervised vector machine is not smooth, many fast opti- mization algorithms cannot be applied to solve the model. In order to overcome the difficulty of dealing with non-smooth objective functions, new methods that can solve the semi-supervised vector machine with desired classification accuracy are in great demand. A quintic spline function with three-times differentiability at the ori- gin is constructed by a general three-moment method, which can be used to approximate the symmetric hinge loss function. The approximate accuracy of the quintic spiine function is estimated. Moreover, a quintic spline smooth semi-support vector machine is obtained and the convergence accuracy of the smooth model to the non-smooth one is analyzed. Three experiments are performed to test the efficiency of the model. The experimental results show that the new model outperforms other smooth models, in terms of classification performance. Furthermore, the new model is not sensitive to the increasing number of the labeled samples, which means that the new model is more efficient.展开更多

In S2TSVM, the addition of unlabeled samples can easily cause the classification hyper plane to deviate from the sample points. Then a centerdistance principle is proposed to pre-classify unlabeled samples, and a pre-classified S2TSVM (PS2TSVM) is proposed. Compared with S2TSVM, PS2TSVM not only improves the problem of the samples deviating from the classification hyper plane, but also improves the training speed. Then PS2TSVM is smoothed. After smoothing the model, the pre-classified smooth S2TSVM (PS3TSVM) is obtained, and its convergence is deduced. Finally, nine datasets are selected in the UCI machine learning database for comparison with other types of semi-supervised models. The experimental results show that the proposed PS3TSVM model has better classification results.展开更多

Factorial design of experiment was selected for the verification of orthogonal array based model prediction. It shows improvement in modelling of edge quality and kerf width by applying semi-supervised learning algorithm, based on novel error assessment on simulations. The results are expected to depict better prediction on average by utilizing the systematic randomized techniques to initialize the neural network weights and increase the number of initialization. Missing values handling is difficult with statistical tools and supervised learning techniques; on the other hand, semi-supervised learning generates better results with the smallest datasets even with missing values.展开更多

This provides a research branch to effectively combine unlabeled and labeled data to infer the labels of unlabeled ones, that is, to develop transductive learning. In this article, based on Pattern classification via single sphere （SSPC）, which seeks a hypersphere to separate data with the maximum separation ratio, a progressive transductive pattern classification method via single sphere （PTSSPC） is proposed to construct the classifier using both the labeled and unlabeled data. PTSSPC utilize the additional information of the unlabeled samples and obtain better classification performance than SSPC when insufficient labeled data information is available. Experiment results show the algorithm can yields better performance.展开更多
