KMOD - A New Support Vector Machine Kernel with Moderate Decreasing for Pattern Recognition. Application to Digit Image Recognition

چکیده
A new direction in machine learning area has emerged from Vapnik’s theory in support vectors machine and its applications on pattern recognition. In this paper, we propose a new SVM kernel family (KMOD) with distinctive properties that allow better discrimination in the feature space. The experiments that we carry out show its effectiveness on synthetic and large-scale data. We found KMOD behaving better than RBF and Exponential RBF kernels on the twospiral problem. In addition, a digit recognition task was processed using the proposed kernel. The results show, at least, comparable performances to state of the art kernels.

KMOD - A Tw o-Parameter SVM Kernel for Pattern Recognition
It has been shown that Support Vector Machine theory optimizes a smoothness functional hypothesis through kernel application. We present KMOD, a two-parameter SVM kernel with distinctive properties of good discrimination between patterns while preserving the data neighborhood information. In classi£cation problems, the experiments we carried out on the Breast Cancer benchmark produced better pe...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملObject Recognition based on Local Steering Kernel and SVM
The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...
متن کاملEmpirical error based optimization of SVM kernels: application to digit image recognition
We address the problem of optimizing kernel parameters in Support Vector Machine modeling, especially when the number of parameters is greater than one as in polynomial kernels and KMOD, our newly introduced kernel. The present work is an extended experimental study of the framework proposed by Chapelle et al. for optimizing SVM kernels using an analytic upper bound of the error. However, our o...
متن کاملLocal gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition
Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
