The Support Vector Machine (SVM) has recently been introduced as a new pattern classification technique. It learns the boundary regions between samples belonging to two classes by mapping the input samples into a high dimensional space, and seeking a separating hyperplane in this space. This paper describes an application of SVMs to two phoneme recognition problems: 5 Thai tones, and 12 Thai vowels spoken in isolation. The best results on tone recognition are 96.09% and 90.57% for the inside test and outside test, respectively, and on vowel recognition are 95.51% and 87.08% for the inside test and outside test, respectively.

We discuss hard c-means clustering using a mapping into a high-dimensional space considered within the theory of support vector machines. Two types of iterative algorithms are developed. Effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by numerical examples.

Echo state networks (ESNs) are large, random recurrent neural networks with a single trained linear readout layer. Despite the untrained nature of the recurrent weights, they are capable of performing universal computations on temporal input data, which makes them interesting for both theoretical research and practical applications. The key to their success lies in the fact that the network computes a broad set of nonlinear, spatiotemporal mappings of the input data, on which linear regression or classification can easily be performed. One could consider the reservoir as a spatiotemporal kernel, in which the mapping to a high-dimensional space is computed explicitly. In this letter, we build on this idea and extend the concept of ESNs to infinite-sized recurrent neural networks, which can be considered recursive kernels that subsequently can be used to create recursive support vector machines. We present the theoretical framework, provide several practical examples of recursive kernels, and apply them to typical temporal tasks.

By combining fuzzy support vector machine with rough set, we propose a rough margin based fuzzy support vector machine (RFSVM). It inherits the characteristic of the FSVM method and considers position of training samples of the rough margin in order to reduce overfitting due to noises or outliers. The new proposed algorithm finds the optimal separating hyperplane that maximizes the rough margin containing lower margin and upper margin. Meanwhile, the points lied on the lower margin have larger penalty than these in the boundary of the rough margin. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show that the RFSVM algorithm is effective and feasible compared with the existing support vector machines.

With the development of cloud computing and distributed cluster technology, the concept of big data has been expanded and extended in terms of capacity and value, and machine learning technology has also received unprecedented attention in recent years. Traditional machine learning algorithms cannot solve the problem of effective parallelization, so a parallelization support vector machine based on Spark big data platform is proposed. Firstly, the big data platform is designed with Lambda architecture, which is divided into three layers: Batch Layer, Serving Layer, and Speed Layer. Secondly, in order to improve the training efficiency of support vector machines on large-scale data, when merging two support vector machines, the “special points” other than support vectors are considered, that is, the points where the nonsupport vectors in one subset violate the training results of the other subset, and a cross-validation merging algorithm is proposed. Then, a parallelized support vector machine based on cross-validation is proposed, and the parallelization process of the support vector machine is realized on the Spark platform. Finally, experiments on different datasets verify the effectiveness and stability of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed parallelized support vector machine has outstanding performance in speed-up ratio, training time, and prediction accuracy.

The most common reason for instituting mechanical ventilation is to decrease a patient’s work of breathing. Many attempts have been made to increase the effectiveness on the evaluation of the respiratory pattern by means of respiratory signal analysis. This work suggests a method of studying the lying differences in respiratory pattern variability between patients on weaning trials. The core of the proposed method is the use of support vector machines to classify patients into two groups, taking into account 35 features of each one, previously extracted from the respiratory flow. 146 patients from mechanical ventilation were studied: Group S of 79 patients with Successful trials, and Group F of 67 patients that Failed on the attempt to maintain spontaneous breathing and had to be reconnected. Applying a feature selection procedure based on the use of the support vector machine with leave-one-out cross-validation, it was obtained 86.67% of well classified patients into the Group S and 73.34% into Group F, using only eight of the 35 features. Therefore, support vector machines can be an interesting classification method in the study of the respiratory pattern variability.

This article addresses the problem of outlier detection for wireless sensor networks. As increasing amounts of observational data are tending to be high-dimensional and large scale, it is becoming increasingly difficult for existing techniques to perform outlier detection accurately and efficiently. Although dimensionality reduction tools (such as deep belief network) have been utilized to compress the high-dimensional data to support outlier detection, these methods may not achieve the desired performance due to the special distribution of the compressed data. Furthermore, because most existed classification methods must solve a quadratic optimization problem in their training stage, they cannot perform well in large-scale datasets. In this article, we developed a new form of classification model called “deep belief network online quarter-sphere support vector machine,” which combines deep belief network with online quarter-sphere one-class support vector machine. Based on this model, we first propose a model training method that learns the radius of the quarter sphere by a sorting method. Then, an online testing method is proposed to perform online outlier detection without supervision. Finally, we compare the proposed method with the state of the arts using extensive experiments. The experimental results show that our method not only reduces the computational cost by three orders of magnitude but also improves the detection accuracy by 3%–5%.
