Tornado Detection with Support Vector Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The National Weather Service (NWS) Mesocyclone Detection Algorithms (MDA) use empirical rules to process velocity data from the Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler (WSR-88D). In this study Support Vector Machines (SVM) are applied to mesocyclone detection. Comparison with other classification methods like neural networks and radial basis function networks show that SVM are more effective in mesocyclone/tornado detection.

Learning networks for tornado forecasting: a Bayesian perspective
In this paper, different types of learning networks, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), Bayesian neural networks (BNNs), support vector machines (SVMs) and Bayesian support vector machines (BSVMs) are applied for tornado forecasting. The last two approaches utilize kernel methods to address nonlinearity of the data in the input space. All methods are applied to forecast when tornadoes o...
متن کاملActive Learning with Support Vector Machines for Tornado Prediction
In this paper, active learning with support vector machines (SVMs) is applied to the problem of tornado prediction. This method is used to predict which storm-scale circulations yield tornadoes based on the radar derived Mesocyclone Detection Algorithm (MDA) and near-storm environment (NSE) attributes. The main goal of active learning is to choose the instances or data points that are important...

متن کاملDetection of Tornados Using an Incremental Revised Support Vector Machine with Filters
Recently Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have played a leading role in pattern classification. SVMs are quite effective to classify static data in numerous applications. However, the use of SVMs in dynamically data driven application systems (DDDAS) is somewhat limited. This motivates the development of incremental approaches to handle DDDAS. In an incremental learning approach, it is critical t...
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...
