Optimizing F-Measure with Support Vector Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Support vector machines (SVMs) are regularly used for classification of unbalanced data by weighting more heavily the error contribution from the rare class. This heuristic technique is often used to learn classifiers with high F-measure, although this particular application of SVMs has not been rigorously examined. We provide significant and new theoretical results that support this popular heuristic. Specifically, we demonstrate that with the right parameter settings SVMs approximately optimize F-measure in the same way that SVMs have already been known to approximately optimize accuracy. This finding has a number of theoretical and practical implications for using SVMs in F-measure optimization.

Anomaly Detection Using SVM as Classifier and Decision Tree for Optimizing Feature Vectors
Abstract- With the advancement and development of computer network technologies, the way for intruders has become smoother; therefore, to detect threats and attacks, the importance of intrusion detection systems (IDS) as one of the key elements of security is increasing. One of the challenges of intrusion detection systems is managing of the large amount of network traffic features. Removing un...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Extreme Learning Machines and Support Vector Machines in Prediction of Sediment Transport in Open Channels
The limiting velocity in open channels to prevent long-term sedimentation is predicted in this paper using a powerful soft computing technique known as Extreme Learning Machines (ELM). The ELM is a single Layer Feed-forward Neural Network (SLFNN) with a high level of training speed. The dimensionless parameter of limiting velocity which is known as the densimetric Froude number (Fr) is predicte...
