We consider support vector machines(SVM) to predict Y with p numerical variables $X_1$, ${\ldots}$, $X_p$. This paper aims to build a biplot of p explanatory variables, in which the first dimension indicates the direction of SVM classification and/or regression fits. We use the geometric scheme of kernel principal component analysis adapted to map n observations on the two-dimensional projection plane of which one axis is determined by a SVM model a priori.

Several studies on the use of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for diagnosing rotating machinery have been successfully carried out, but the fault classification depends on the input features as well as a multi-classification scheme, binary optimizer, kernel function, and the parameter to be used in the kernel function. Most of the published papers on multiclass SVM applications report the use of the same features to classify the faults. In this study, simple statistical features are determined on the basis of time domain vibration signals for various fault conditions, and the optimal features for each fault condition are selected. Then, the optimal features are used in the SVM training and in the classification of each fault condition. Simulation results using experimental data show that the results of the proposed stepwise classification approach with a relatively short training time are comparable to those for a single multi-class SVM.

We propose an effective voice-based gender identification method using a support vector machine(SVM). The SVM is a binary classification algorithm that classifies two groups by finding the voluntary nonlinear boundary in a feature space and is known to yield high classification performance. In the present work, we compare the identification performance of the SVM with that of a Gaussian mixture model(GMM) using the mel frequency cepstral coefficients(MFCC). A novel means of incorporating a features fusion scheme based on a combination of the MFCC and pitch is proposed with the aim of improving the performance of gender identification using the SVM. Experiment results indicate that the gender identification performance using the SVM is significantly better than that of the GMM. Moreover, the performance is substantially improved when the proposed features fusion technique is applied.

The paper explores the potential of Support Vector Machines (SVM) approach in predicting 28-day compressive strength and slump flow of self-compacting concrete. Total of 80 data collected from the exiting literature were used in present work. To compare the performance of the technique, prediction was also done using a back propagation neural network model. For this data-set, RBF kernel worked well in comparison to polynomial kernel based support vector machines and provide a root mean square error of 4.688 (MPa) (correlation coefficient=0.942) for 28-day compressive strength prediction and a root mean square error of 7.825 cm (correlation coefficient=0.931) for slump flow. Results obtained for RMSE and correlation coefficient suggested a comparable performance by Support Vector Machine approach to neural network approach for both 28-day compressive strength and slump flow prediction.

Many studies have focused on the prediction of corporate credit rating using various data mining techniques. One of the most frequently used algorithms is support vector machines (SVM), and recently, novel techniques such as SVM+ and SVM+MTL have emerged. This paper intends to show the applicability of such new techniques to multi-classification and corporate credit rating and compare them with conventional SVM regarding prediction performance. We solve multi-class SVM+ and SVM+MTL problems by constructing several binary classifiers. Furthermore, to demonstrate the robustness and outstanding performance of SVM+MTL algorithm over other techniques, we utilized four typical multi-class processing methods in our experiments. The results show that SVM+MTL outperforms both conventional SVM and novel SVM+ in predicting corporate credit rating. This study contributes to the literature by showing the applicability of new techniques such as SVM+ and SVM+MTL and the outperformance of SVM+MTL over conventional techniques. Thus, this study enriches solving techniques for addressing multi-class problems such as corporate credit rating prediction.

본 논문에서는 SVM의 효과적인 학습 알고리즘인 SMO(Sequential Minimal Optimization)를 하드웨어적으로 설계하고 구현하는 방법을 제시한다. SVM은 Vapnik에 의한 제안된 기계학습 방법으로 음성인식, 문자인식, BT, 보안 등 다양한 응용분야에서 기존의 신경망보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 그러나 SVM은 계산량이 많아 연산속도가 느려지는 단점을 가진다. 이를 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 SVM의 학습 알고리즘인 SMO의 핵심인 지수함수와 실수 연산기를 VHDL로 설계하고 Mentor의 ModelSim을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하고 Synopsys의 Design Analyzer를 이용하여 합성하였다. 구현된 칩은 시뮬레이션 결과 약 50MHz의 속도로 동작하며, 이는 소프트웨어적으로 구현된 SMO보다 약 10～20배 빠른 성능을 나타내었다.

There has been substantial research into the bankruptcy prediction. Many researchers used the statistical method in the problem until the early 1980s. Since the late 1980s, Artificial Intelligence(AI) has been employed in bankruptcy prediction. And many studies have shown that artificial neural network(ANN) achieved better performance than traditional statistical methods. However, despite ANN's superior performance, it has some problems such as overfitting and poor explanatory power. To overcome these limitations, this paper suggests a relatively new machine learning technique, support vector machine(SVM), to bankruptcy prediction. SVM is simple enough to be analyzed mathematically, and leads to high performances in practical applications. The objective of this paper is to examine the feasibility of SVM in bankruptcy prediction by comparing it with ANN, logistic regression, and multivariate discriminant analysis. The experimental results show that SVM provides a promising alternative to bankruptcy prediction.

In this paper we study four kernel machines for estimating expected shortfall, which are constructed through combinations of support vector quantile regression (SVQR), restricted SVQR (RSVQR), least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) and support vector expectile regression (SVER). These kernel machines have obvious advantages such that they achieve nonlinear model but they do not require the explicit form of nonlinear mapping function. Moreover they need no assumption about the underlying probability distribution of errors. Through numerical studies on two artificial an two real data sets we show their effectiveness on the estimation performance at various confidence levels.

본 논문에서는 모멘트 항을 추가한 수정된 kernel-adatron 알고리즘을 제안하고 이른 support vector machines의 학습기법으로 이용하였다. 이는 기울기상승법에서 일어나는 최적해로의 수렴에 따른 발진을 억제하여 그 수렴 속도를 좀더 개선시키는 모멘트의 장점과 kernel-adatron 알고리즘의 구현용이성을 그대로 살리기 위함이다. 제안된 학습기법의 SVM을 실제 200명의 암환자를 2부류(초기와 악성)로 분류하여 문제에 적용하여 시뮬레이션한 결과, Cambell등의 kernel-adatron 알고리즘을 이용한 SVM의 결과와 비교할 때 학습시간과 시험 데이터의 분류률에서 더욱 우수한 성능이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A novel method of transient stability analysis is presented in this paper. The proposed method extracts data points near the basin-of-attraction boundary and then builds a support vector machine (SVM) model learned from the generated data. The constructed SVM classifier has been shown to reduce dramatically the conservativeness of the estimated basin of attraction.
