Since software system is becoming more and more complex than before, performance degradation and even abrupt download, which are called software aging phenomena, bring about a great deal of economic loss. To counter these problems, some methods are used. Support vector machine is an effective method to tackle software aging problems, but its performance is influenced by the selection of hyper-parameters. A method is proposed to optimize the hyper-parameter selection of support vector machine in this work. The proposed method which is used as a training algorithm to optimize the parameter selection of support vector machine, utilizes the global exploration power of firefly method to achieve faster convergence and also a better accuracy. In the experiment, we use two metrics to test the effect of the proposed method. The results indicate that the presented method owns the highest accuracy in both the available memory prediction and heap memory prediction of Web server for software aging predictions.

Abstract This paper proposes a SVM (Support Vector Machine) parameter selection based on CPSO (Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization), in order to determine the optimal parameters of the support vector machine quickly and efficiently. SVMs are new methods being developed, based on statistical learning theory. Training a SVM can be formulated as a quadratic programming problem. The parameter selection of SVMs must be done before solving the QP (Quadratic Programming) problem. The PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm is applied in the course of SVM parameter selection. Due to the sensitivity and frequency of the initial value of the chaotic motion, the PSO algorithm is also applied to improve the particle swarm optimization, so as to improve the global search ability of the particles. The simulation results show that the improved CPSO can find more easily the global optimum and reduce the number of iterations, which also makes the search for a group of optimal parameters of SVM quicker and more efficient.

The performance of support vector machine (SVM) depends on the selection of model parameters, however, the selection of SVM model parameters more depends on the empirical value. According to the above deficiency, this paper proposed a parameters optimization method of support vector machine based on immune memory clone strategy (IMC). This method can solve the multi-peak model parameters selection problem better which is introduced by n-folded cross-verification and automatic acquire the optimum model parameters. Proved by the simulation results on standard data, this method has higher precision and faster optimization speed. In a word, it can be used as an effective and feasible SVM parameters optimization method.

Background: In order to improve the efficiency of fault treatment of mining motor, the method of model construction is used to construct the type of kernel function based on the principle of vector machine classification and the optimization method of parameters. Methodology: One-to-many algorithm is used to establish two kinds of support vector machine models for fault diagnosis of motor rotor of crusher. One of them is to obtain the optimal parameters C and g based on the input samples of the instantaneous power fault characteristic data of some motor rotors which have not been processed by rough sets. Patents on machine learning have also shows their practical usefulness in the selction of the feature for fault detection. Results: The results show that the instantaneous power fault feature extracted from the rotor of the crusher motor is obtained by the cross validation method of grid search k-weights (where k is 3) and the final data of the applied Gauss radial basis penalty parameter C and the nuclear parameter g are obtained. Conclusion: The model established by the optimal parameters is used to classify and diagnose the sample of instantaneous power fault characteristic measurement of motor rotor. Therefore, the classification accuracy of the sample data processed by rough set is higher.
