Recent literatures show that neural networks achieve better performance than traditional statistical methods. However, neural networks have inherent drawbacks, such as local optimization solution, lack generalization, and uncontrolled convergence. A relatively new machine learning technique, support vector machine （SVM）, which overcomes the drawbacks of neural networks, is introduced to provide a model with better explanatory power to select ideal supplier partners. Meanwhile, in practice, the suppliers＇ samples are very insufficient. SVMs are adaptive to deal with small samples＇ training and testing. The prediction accuracies for BPNN and SVM methods are compared to choose the appreciating suppliers. The actual examples illustrate that SVM methods are superior to BPNN.展开更多

A model based on support vector machines (SVM) was established whose input parameters were selected as following influence factors of sand liquefaction: magnitude (M), the value of SPT, effective pressure of superstratum, the content of clay and the average of grain diameter. Sand was divided into two classes: liquefaction and non-liquefaction, and the class label was treated as output parameter of the model. Then the model was used to estimate sand samples, 20 support vectors and 17 borderline support vectors were gotten, then the parameters were optimized, 14 support vectors and 6 borderline support vectors were gotten, and the prediction precision reaches 100%. In order to verify the generalization of the SVM method, two other practical samples' data from two cities, Tangshan of Hebei province and Sanshui of Guangdong province, were dealt with by another more intricate model for polytomies, which also considered some influence factors of sand liquefaction as the input parameters and divided sand into four liquefaction grades: serious liquefaction, medium liquefaction, slight liquefaction and non-liquefaction as the output parameters. The simulation results show that the latter model has a very high precision, and using SVM model to estimate sand liquefaction is completely feasible.展开更多

By employing the shape descriptor as the input, the flame image recognition was studied by the methods of the artificial neural network(ANN) and the support vector machine(SVM) respectively.

The objectives of this work are to compare the accuracy of prediction models employing partial least squares(PLS) regression and support vector machine(SVM) regression technique for modeling the penetration rate of TBM.

Automatic target recognition process on the nonlinear and non-stationary of Doppler signals of military target by using automatic target recognition model can be expressed as follows. Firstly, the nonlinearity and non-stationary of Doppler signals were decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) using EMD. After the Hilbert transform of IMF, the energy ratio of each IMF to the total IMFs can be extracted as the features of military target. Then, the SVM was trained through using the energy ratio to classify the military targets, and genetic algorithm(GA) was used to optimize SVM parameters in the solution space. The experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve the recognition accuracies of 86.15%, 87.93%, and 82.28% for tank, vehicle and soldier, respectively.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

文摘In order to improve the recognition rate and accuracy rate of projectiles in six sky-screens intersection test system,this work proposes a new recognition method of projectiles by combining particle swarm optimization support vector and spatial-temporal constrain of six sky-screens detection sensor.Based on the measurement principle of the six sky-screens intersection test system and the characteristics of the output signal of the sky-screen,we analyze the existing problems regarding the recognition of projectiles.In order to optimize the projectile recognition effect,we use the support vector machine and basic particle swarm algorithm to form a new recognition algorithm.We set up the particle swarm algorithm optimization support vector projectile information recognition model that conforms to the six sky-screens intersection test system.We also construct a spatial-temporal constrain matching model based on the spatial geometric relationship of six sky-screen intersection,and form a new projectile signal recognition algorithm with six sky-screens spatial-temporal information constraints under the signal classification mechanism of particle swarm optimization algorithm support vector machine.Based on experiments,we obtain the optimal penalty and kernel function radius parameters in the PSO-SVM algorithm;we adjust the parameters of the support vector machine model,train the test signal data of every sky-screen,and gain the projectile signal classification results.Afterwards,according to the signal classification results,we calculate the coordinate parameters of the real projectile by using the spatial-temporal constrain of six sky-screens detection sensor,which verifies the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

文摘In order to improve measurement accuracy of moving target signals, an automatic target recognition model of moving target signals was established based on empirical mode decomposition(EMD) and support vector machine(SVM). Automatic target recognition process on the nonlinear and non-stationary of Doppler signals of military target by using automatic target recognition model can be expressed as follows. Firstly, the nonlinearity and non-stationary of Doppler signals were decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) using EMD. After the Hilbert transform of IMF, the energy ratio of each IMF to the total IMFs can be extracted as the features of military target. Then, the SVM was trained through using the energy ratio to classify the military targets, and genetic algorithm(GA) was used to optimize SVM parameters in the solution space. The experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve the recognition accuracies of 86.15%, 87.93%, and 82.28% for tank, vehicle and soldier, respectively.

文摘In order to handle the semi-supervised problem quickly and efficiently in the twin support vector machine (TWSVM) field, a semi-supervised twin support vector machine (S2TSVM) is proposed by adding the original unlabeled samples. 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.
