This paper presents machine learning methods using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to analyze optimal damper distribution for structural vibration control. Regarding different building structures, a genetic algorithm based optimization method is used to determine optimal damper distributions that are further used as training samples. The structural features, the objective function, the number of dampers, etc. are used as input features, and the distribution of dampers is taken as an output result. In the case of a few number of damper distributions, multi-class prediction can be performed using SVM and MLP respectively. Moreover, MLP can be used for regression prediction in the case where the distribution scheme is uncountable. After suitable post-processing, good results can be obtained. Numerical results show that the proposed method can obtain the optimized damper distributions for different structures under different objective functions, which achieves better control effect than the traditional uniform distribution and greatly improves the optimization efficiency.

Music brings pleasure and relaxation to people. Therefore, it is necessary to classify musical genres based on scenes. Identifying favorite musical genres from massive music data is a time-consuming and laborious task. Recent studies have suggested that machine learning algorithms are effective in distinguishing between various musical genres. However, meeting the actual requirements in terms of accuracy or timeliness is challenging. In this study, a hybrid machine learning model that combines a deep residual auto-encoder (DRAE) and support vector machine (SVM) for musical genre recognition was proposed. Eight manually extracted features from the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) were employed in the preprocessing stage as the hybrid music data source. During the training stage, DRAE was employed to extract feature maps, which were then used as input for the SVM classifier. The experimental results indicated that this method achieved a 91.54% F1-score and 91.58% top-1 accuracy, outperforming existing approaches. This novel approach leverages deep architecture and conventional machine learning algorithms and provides a new horizon for musical genre classification tasks.

This paper proposes a fuzzy support vector machine ($FSVM_n$) pattern classifier to classify the arrhythmia patterns of an electrocardiograph (ECG). The $FSVM_n$ is a pattern classifier which combines n-dimensional fuzzy membership functions with a slack variable of SVM. To evaluate the performance of the proposed classifier, the MIT/BIH ECG database, which is a standard database for evaluating arrhythmia detection, was used. The pattern classification experiment showed that, when classifying ECG into four patterns - NSR, VT, VF, and NSR, VT, and VF classification rate resulted in 99.42%, 99.00%, and 99.79%, respectively. As a result, the $FSVM_n$ shows better pattern classification performance than the existing SVM and FSVM algorithms.

We compare two popular algorithms in current machine learning and statistical learning areas, boosting method represented by AdaBoost and kernel based SVM (Support Vector Machine) using 13 real data sets. This comparative study shows that boosting method has smaller prediction error in data with heavy noise, whereas SVM has smaller prediction error in the data with little noise.

Wind forecast is one of the key meteorological factors required for safe aircraft takeoff and landing. In this study, we developed an artificial intelligence-based wind compensation method by learning the Korea Air Force Weather Research and Forecast (KAF-WRF) forecast data and the Airfield Meteorological Observation System (AMOS) data at five airports using Support Vector Machine (SVM). The SVM wind prediction models were composed of three types according to the learning period (30 days, 40 days, and 60 days) using seven KAF-WRF variables as training data, and the wind prediction performance at the five airports was evaluated using Root Mean Squared Errors (RMSE). According to the results, the SVM wind prediction model trained using U (east-west) and V (north-south) components performed approximately 18% better than the model trained using wind speed and wind direction. The wind correction of KAF-WRF with AMOS observations via SVM outperformed the conventional KAF-WRF wind predictions in eight out of ten cases, capturing abrupt changes in wind direction and speed with a 25% reduction in RMSE.

LS-SVM(Least-Squares Support Vector Machine) has been used as a promising method for regression as well as classification. Suykens et al.(2000) used only the magnitude of residuals to obtain SVs(Support Vectors). Suykens' method behaves well for homogeneous model. But in a heteroscedastic model, the method shows a poor behavior. The present paper proposes a new method to get SVs. The proposed method uses the variance of noise as well as the magnitude of residuals to obtain support vectors. Through the simulation study we justified excellence of our proposed method.

This study proposes a modification to the objective function of the support vector machine for the linearly non-separable case of a binary classifier y_i ∈ {-1, 1}. The modification takes into account the position of each data item x_i from its corresponding class centroid. The resulting optimization function involves the centroid mean vector, and the spread of data besides the support vectors, which should be minimized by the choice of hyper-plane β. Theoretical assumptions have been tested to derive an optimal separable hyperplane that yields the minimal misclassification rate. The proposed method has been evaluated using simulation studies and real-life COVID-19 patient outcome hospitalization data. Results show that the proposed method performs better than the classical linear SVM classifier as the sample size increases and is preferred in the presence of correlations among predictors as well as among extreme values.

This paper presents a decision method of middle ear disease which is developed in children and adults. In the proposed method, features are extracted from the middle ear disease images and normal images using HoG (histogram of oriented gradient) descriptor and the extracted features are learned by SVM (support vector machine) classifier. To obtain an input vector into SVM, an input image is resized to a predefined size and then the resized image is partitioned into 16 blocks each of which is partitioned into 4 sub-blocks (namely cell). Finally, the feature vector with 576 components is given by using HoG with 9 bins and it is used as SVM learning and classification. Input images are classified by SVM classifier based on the model of learning features. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields the precision of over 90% in decision.

In this paper, Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC), Decorrelated Filter Bank (DFB), Octave-based Spectral Contrast (OSC), Zero-Crossing Rate (ZCR), and Spectral Contract/Roll-Off are combined as a set of multiple feature-vectors for the music genre classification system based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. In the conventional system, feature vectors for the entire genre classes are normalized for the SVM model training and classification. However, in this paper, selected feature vectors that are compared based on the One-Against-One (OAO) SVM classifier are only used for normalization. Using OSC as a single feature-vector and the multiple feature-vectors, we obtain the genre classification rates of 60.8% and 77.4%, respectively, with the conventional normalization method. Using the proposed normalization method, we obtain the increased classification rates by 8.2% and 3.3% for OSC and the multiple feature-vectors, respectively.

Support vector machine(SVM) is a new and very promising classification and regression technique developed by Bapnik and his group at AT&T Bell laboratories. However it has failed to establish itself as common machine learning tool. This is partly due to the fact that SVM is not easy to implement and its standard implementation requires the optimization package for quadratic programming. In this paper we present simple iterative Kernl Adatron algorithm for nonparametric regression which is easy to implement and guaranteed to converge to the optimal solution and compare it with neural networks and projection pursuit regression.
