Model Selection for Support Vector Machines Using Ant Colony Optimization in an Electronic Nose Application

چکیده
Support vector machines, especially when using radial basis kernels, have given good results in the classification of different volatile compounds. We can achieve a feature extraction method adjusting the parameters of a modified radial basis kernel, giving more importance to those features that are important for classification proposes. However, the function that has to be minimized to find the best scaling factors is not derivable and has multiple local minima. In this work we propose to adapt the ideas of the ant colony optimization method to find an optimal value of the kernel parameters.

A HYBRID SUPPORT VECTOR REGRESSION WITH ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM IN ESTIMATION OF SAFETY FACTOR FOR CIRCULAR FAILURE SLOPE
Slope stability is one of the most complex and essential issues for civil and geotechnical engineers, mainly due to life and high economical losses resulting from these failures. In this paper, a new approach is presented for estimating the Safety Factor (SF) for circular failure slope using hybrid support vector regression (SVR) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The ACO is combined with the S...

متن کاملFeature Subset Selection Based on Ant Colony Optimization and Support Vector Machine
One of the significant research problems in pattern recognition is the feature subset selection. It is applied to select a subset of features, from a much larger set, through the elimination of variables that produce noise or strictly correlated with other already selected features, such that the selected subset is sufficient to perform the classification task. A hybrid method using ant colony ...
