The Relevance Vector Machine
نویسنده
چکیده
The support vector machine (SVM) is a state-of-the-art technique for regression and classification, combining excellent generalisation properties with a sparse kernel representation. However, it does suffer from a number of disadvantages, notably the absence of probabilistic outputs, the requirement to estimate a trade-off parameter and the need to utilise 'Mercer' kernel functions. In this paper we introduce the Relevance Vector Machine (RVM), a Bayesian treatment of a generalised linear model of identical functional form to the SVM. The RVM suffers from none of the above disadvantages, and examples demonstrate that for comparable generalisation performance, the RVM requires dramatically fewer kernel functions.

TUNNEL BORING MACHINE PENETRATION RATE PREDICTION BASED ON RELEVANCE VECTOR REGRESSION
key factor in the successful application of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) in tunneling is the ability to develop accurate penetration rate estimates for determining project schedule and costs. Thus establishing a relationship between rock properties and TBM penetration rate can be very helpful in estimation of this vital parameter. However, this parameter cannot be simply predicted since there ...

This study examines the capability of the Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) for prediction of ultimate capacity of driven piles and drilled shafts. RVM is a sparse method for training generalized linear models, while MARS technique is basically an adaptive piece-wise regression approach. In this paper, pile capacity prediction models are developed...
متن کاملThe relevance vector machine technique for channel equalization application
The relevance vector machine (RVM) technique is applied to communication channel equalization. It is demonstrated that the RVM equalizer can closely match the optimal performance of the Bayesian equalizer, with a much sparser kernel representation than that is achievable by the state-of-art support vector machine (SVM) technique.

In tire industry, it is very crucial to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of the rubber which is used for production of the tire, to ensure the quality of the final product. Resilience is an important property of a rubber, which cannot be evaluated through direct measurement in production cycle in this industry. Therefore, non-destructive ultrasonic testing, which has been used in man...

متن کاملFuzzy relevance vector machine for learning from unbalanced data and noise
Handing unbalanced data and noise are two important issues in the field of machine learning. This paper proposed a complete framework of fuzzy relevance vector machine by weighting the punishment terms of error in Bayesian inference process of relevance vector machine (RVM). Above problems can be learned within this framework with different kinds of fuzzy membership functions. Experiments on bo...
