Gesture recognition has been widely one of the research areas for natural user interface. This paper presents a novel gesture recognition method using tree classification and multiclass SVM(Support Vector Machine). In the learning step, 3D trajectory of human gesture obtained by a Kinect sensor is classified into the tree nodes according to their distributions. The gestures are resampled and we obtain the histogram of the chain code from the normalized data. Then multiclass SVM is applied to the classified gestures in the node. The input gesture classified using the constructed tree is recognized with multiclass SVM.

Support Vector machine is the classifier which is based on the statistical training theory. Twin Support Vector Machine(TWSVM) is a kind of binary classifier that determines two nonparallel planes by solving two related SVM-type problems. The training time of TWSVM is shorter than that of SVM, but TWSVM doesn't shows worse performance than that of SVM. This paper proposes the TWSVM which is applied fuzzy membership, and compares the performance of this classifier with the other classifiers using Ionosphere radar data set.

When the input features are generated by factors in a classification problem, it is more meaningful to identify important factors, rather than individual features. The $F_{\infty}$-norm support vector machine(SVM) has been developed to perform automatic factor selection in classification. However, the $F_{\infty}$-norm SVM may suffer from estimation inefficiency and model selection inconsistency because it applies the same amount of shrinkage to each factor without assessing its relative importance. To overcome such a limitation, we propose the adaptive $F_{\infty}$-norm ($AF_{\infty}$-norm) SVM, which penalizes the empirical hinge loss by the sum of the adaptively weighted factor-wise $L_{\infty}$-norm penalty. The $AF_{\infty}$-norm SVM computes the weights by the 2-norm SVM estimator and can be formulated as a linear programming(LP) problem which is similar to the one of the $F_{\infty}$-norm SVM. The simulation studies show that the proposed $AF_{\infty}$-norm SVM improves upon the $F_{\infty}$-norm SVM in terms of classification accuracy and factor selection performance.

This paper proposes a powerful SVM-ASM filter, the adaptive switching median(ASM) filter based on support vector machines(SVMs), to effectively reduce impulse noise in corrupted images while preserving image details and features. The proposed SVM-ASM filter is composed of two stages: SVM impulse detection and ASM filtering. SVM impulse detection determines whether the pixels are corrupted by noise or not according to an optimal discrimination function. ASM filtering implements the image filtering with a variable window size to effectively remove the noisy pixels determined by the SVM impulse detection. Experimental results show that the SVM-ASM filter performs significantly better than many other existing filters for denoising impulse noise even in highly corrupted images with regard to noise suppression and detail preservation. The SVM-ASM filter is also extremely robust with respect to various test images and various percentages of image noise.

Vision based night-time vehicle detection has been an emerging research field in various advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) and automotive vehicle as well as automatic head-lamp control. In this paper, we propose night-time vehicle detection method based on multi-class support vector machine(SVM) that consists of thresholding, labeling, feature extraction, and multi-class SVM. Vehicle light candidate blobs are extracted by local mean based thresholding following by labeling process. Seven geometric and stochastic features are extracted from each candidate through the feature extraction step. Each candidate blob is classified into vehicle light or not by multi-class SVM. Four different multi-class SVM including one-against-all(OAA), one-against-one(OAO), top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM classifiers are implemented and evaluated in terms of vehicle detection performances. Through the simulations tested on road video sequences, we prove that top-down tree structured and bottom-up tree structured SVM have relatively better performances than the others.

Support vector machine(SVM)은 최근 각광받는 기계학습 방법 중 하나로서, kernel function 이라는 사상(mapping)을 이용하여 입력 공간의 벡터를 classification이 용이한 특징 (feature) 공간의 벡터로 변환하는 것을 근간으로 한다. SVM은 이러한 특징 공간에서 두 클래스를 구분 짓는 hyperplane을 일련의 최적화 방법론을 사용하여 찾아내며, 주어진 문제가 convex problem 인 경우 항상 global optimal solution 을 보장하는 등의 장점을 지닌다. 한편 bioinformatics 연구에서 주로 사용되는 데이터는 측정 오류 등 일련의 오류를 포함하고 있으며, 이러한 오류는 기계학습 방법론이 어떤 decision boundary를 찾아내는가에 영향을 끼치게 된다. 특히 SVM의 경우 이러한 오류는 특징 공간 벡터간의 관계를 나타내는 Gram matrix를 변화로 나타나게 된다. 본 연구에서는 입력 공간에 오류가 발생할 때 그것이 SVM 의 decision boundary를 어떻게 변화시키는가를 대표적인 두 가지 kernel function, 즉 linear kernel과 Gaussian kernel에 대해 분석하였다. Wisconsin대학의 유방암(breast cancer) 데이터에 대해 실험한 결과, 데이터의 오류에 따른 SVM 의 classification 성능 변화 양상을 관찰하여 커널의 종류에 따라 SVM이 어떠한 특성을 보이는가를 밝혀낼 수 있었다. 또 흥미롭게도 어떤 조건 하에서는 오류가 크더라도 오히려 SVM 의 성능이 향상되는 것을 발견했는데, 이것은 바꾸어 생각하면 Gram matrix 의 일부를 변경하여 SVM 의 성능 향상을 꾀할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

In this study, comments on restaurants, movies, and mobile devices, as well as tweet messages regardless of specific domains were analyzed for sentimental information content. We proposed a system for extraction of objects (or aspects) and opinion words from each sentence and the subsequent evaluation. For the sentiment analysis, we conducted a comparative evaluation between the Structural SVM algorithm and the Latent Structural SVM. As a result, the latter showed better performance and was able to extract objects/aspects and opinion words using VP/NP analyzed by the dependency parser tree. Lastly, we also developed and evaluated the sentiment detector model for use in practical services.

The information of vehicle is very important for maintaining traffic order under the present complex traffic environments. This paper proposes a new vehicle plate recognition mechanism that is essential to know the information of vehicle. The proposed method uses SVM which is excellent object classification compare to other methods. Two-class SVM is used to find the location of vehicle plate and multi-class SVM is used to recognize the characters in the plate. As a real-time processing system using multi-step image processing and recognition process this method recognizes several different vehicle plates. Through the experimental results of real environmental image and recognition using the proposed method, the performance is proven.

Manual seed classification challenges can be overcome using a reliable and autonomous seed purity identification and classification technique. It is a highly practical and commercially important requirement of the agricultural industry. Researchers can create a new data mining method with improved accuracy using current machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches. Seed classification can help with quality making, seed quality controller, and impurity identification. Seeds have traditionally been classified based on characteristics such as colour, shape, and texture. Generally, this is done by experts by visually examining each model, which is a very time-consuming and tedious task. This approach is simple to automate, making seed sorting far more efficient than manually inspecting them. Computer vision technologies based on machine learning (ML), symmetry, and, more specifically, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in related fields, resulting in greater labour efficiency in many cases. To sort a sample of 3000 seeds, KNN, SVM, CNN and CNN-SVM hybrid classification algorithms were used. A model that uses advanced deep learning techniques to categorise some well-known seeds is included in the proposed hybrid system. In most cases, the CNN-SVM model outperformed the comparable SVM and CNN models, demonstrating the effectiveness of utilising CNN-SVM to evaluate data. The findings of this research revealed that CNN-SVM could be used to analyse data with promising results. Future study should look into more seed kinds to expand the use of CNN-SVMs in data processing.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways to improve the performance of SVM (Support Vector Machines) text classifier using inter-document similarities. SVMs are powerful machine learning systems, which are considered as the state-of-the-art technique for automatic document classification. In this paper text categorization via SVMs approach based on feature representation with document vectors is suggested. In this approach, document vectors instead of index terms are used as features, and vector similarities instead of term weights are used as feature values. Experiments show that SVM classifier with document vector features can improve the document classification performance. For the sake of run-time efficiency, two methods are developed: One is to select document vector features, and the other is to use category centroid vector features instead. Experiments on these two methods show that we can get improved performance with small vector feature set than the performance of conventional methods with index term features.
