The information on the World Wide Web is growing without bound. Users may have very diversified preferences in the pages they target through a search engine. It is therefore a challenging task to adapt a search engine to suit the needs of a particular community of users who share similar interests. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, Ranking SVM in a Co-training Framework (RSCF). Essenti...

Two parameters, C and r, must be carefully predetermined in establishing an efficient support vector machine (SVM) model. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a genetic-based SVM (GA-SVM) model that can automatically determine the optimal parameters, C and r, of SVM with the highest predictive accuracy and generalization ability simultaneously. This paper pioneered on employing a ...

In this paper Self-Advising SVM, a new proposed version of SVM, is investigated for sleep apnea classification. Self-Advising SVM tries to transfer more information from training phase to the test phase in compare to the traditional SVM. In this paper Sleep apnea events are classified to central, obstructive or mixed, by using just three signals, airflow, abdominal and thoracic movement, as inp...

user-generated medical messages on internet contain extensive information related to adverse drug reactions (adrs) and are known as valuable resources for post-marketing drug surveillance. the aim of this study was to find an effective method to identify messages related to adrs automatically from online user reviews.we conducted experiments on online user reviews using different feature set an...

an important property that has been extensively studied in quantitative structure activityrelationship (qsar) is the chromatographic retention index. qsar study is suggested for theprediction of retention index of alkanes and alkenes compounds. modeling of the retention indexof alkanes and alkenes compounds as a function of molecular structures was established bydifferent chemometrics methods. ...

Nowadays, support vector machines (SVM) are receiving increasing attention in land cover/use classification although one of the major drawbacks of the technique is the kernel function selection and its parameters setting. In this paper, a novel SVM parameters optimization method based on selfadaptive mutation particle swarm optimizer (SAMPSO-SVM) is proposed to improve the generalization perfor...

The standard -norm SVM is known for its good performance in twoclass classification. In this paper, we consider the -norm SVM. We argue that the -norm SVM may have some advantage over the standard -norm SVM, especially when there are redundant noise features. We also propose an efficient algorithm that computes the whole solution path of the -norm SVM, hence facilitates adaptive selection of th...
