The current classification algorithms have weak fault-tolerance. In order to solve the problem, a multiple support vector machines method, called Upper preferred Multiple Directed Acyclic Graph Support Vector Machines (UMDAG-SVMs), is proposed. Firstly, we present least squares projection twin support vector machine (LSPTSVM) with confidence-degree for generating binary classifiers. It uses the...

In this paper we propose Support Vector Random Fields (SVRFs), an extension of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) that explicitly models spatial correlations in multi-dimensional data. SVRFs are derived as Conditional Random Fields that take advantage of the generalization properties of SVMs. We also propose improvements to computing posterior probability distributions from SVMs, and present a loca...

structural repetitive subsequences are most important portion of biological sequences, which play crucial roles on corresponding sequence’s fold and functionality. biggest class of the repetitive subsequences is “transposable elements” which has its own sub-classes upon contexts’ structures. many researches have been performed to criticality determine the structure and function of repetitive su...

The goal of this work is to introduce one of the most successful among recently developed statistical techniques – the support vector machine (SVM) – to the field of corporate bankruptcy analysis. The main emphasis is done on implementing SVMs for analysing predictors in the form of financial ratios. A method is proposed of adapting SVMs to default probability estimation. A survey of practicall...

This is the first comprehensive introduction to Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a new generation learning system based on recent advances in statistical learning theory. Students will find the book both stimulating and...

This paper investigates the application of support vector machines (SVMs) in texture classification. Instead of relying on an external feature extractor, the SVM receives the gray-level values of the raw pixels, as SVMs can generalize well even in high-dimensional spaces. Furthermore, it is shown that SVMs can incorporate conventional texture feature extraction methods within their own architec...

Algorithms that produce classifiers with large margins, such as support vector machines (SVMs), AdaBoost, etc. are receiving more and more attention in the literature. This paper presents a real application of SVMs for synthetic aperture radar automatic target recognition (SAR/ATR) and compares the result with conventional classifiers. The SVMs are tested for classification both in closed and o...

Theoretical and experimental analyses of bagging indicate that it is primarily a variance reduction technique. This suggests that bagging should be applied to learning algorithms tuned to minimize bias, even at the cost of some increase in variance. We test this idea with Support Vector Machines (SVMs) by employing out-of-bag estimates of bias and variance to tune the SVMs. Experiments indicate...

Maximum margin classifiers such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs) critically depends upon the convex hulls of the training samples of each class, as they implicitly search for the minimum distance between the convex hulls . We propose Extrapolated Vector Machines (XVMs) which rely on extrapolations outside these convex hulls. XVMs improve SVM generalization very significantly on the MNIST [7] O...

This paper describes MSVMpack, an open source software package dedicated to our generic model of multi-class support vector machine. All four multi-class support vector machines (M-SVMs) proposed so far in the literature appear as instances of this model. MSVMpack provides for them the first unified implementation and offers a convenient basis to develop other instances. This is also the first ...
