Abstract This paper proposes a new technology of spatial prediction for flood susceptibility. Multiple kernel learning was used to build the flood susceptibility model and predict the flood inundation risk of the Sanhuajian Basin of the Yellow River. Based on the historical flow records of the Huayuankou Site and the MODIS remote sensing images of the study area, the maximum inundation range was extracted by the open water likelihood index method, and the flooded and non-flooded sample sites were selected. Considering the availability of pertinent literatures and data, ten flood conditioning factors were defined as the sample characteristics. The model performance was evaluated in terms of accuracy, F1 score, and AUC. According to the results, multiple kernel learning significantly outperforms the support vector machine adopting single kernel, and NLMKL demonstrates the best comprehensive performance. The flood susceptibility map generated by MODIS remote sensing images and multiple kernel learning, therefore, can provide effective help for researchers and decision makers in flood management.

The objective of this work is multiple objects detection in remote sensing images. Many classifiers have been proposed to detect military objects. In this paper, we demonstrate that linear combination of kernels can get a better classification precision than product of kernels. Starting with base kernels, we obtain different weights for each class through learning. Experiment on Caltech-101 dataset shows the learnt kernels yields superior classification results compared with single-kernel SVM. While such a powerful classifier act as a sliding-window detector to search planes in images collected from Google Earth, results shows the effectiveness of using MKL detector to locate military objects in remote sensing images.

Unlike Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) allows datasets to be free to choose the useful kernels based on their distribution characteristics rather than a precise one. It has been shown in the literature that MKL holds superior recognition accuracy compared with SVM, however, at the expense of time consuming computations. This creates analytical and computational difficulties in solving MKL algorithms. To overcome this issue, we first develop a novel kernel approximation approach for MKL and then propose an efficient Low-Rank MKL (LR-MKL) algorithm by using the Low-Rank Representation (LRR). It is well-acknowledged that LRR can reduce dimension while retaining the data features under a global low-rank constraint. Furthermore, we redesign the binary-class MKL as the multiclass MKL based on pairwise strategy. Finally, the recognition effect and efficiency of LR-MKL are verified on the datasets Yale, ORL, LSVT, and Digit. Experimental results show that the proposed LR-MKL algorithm is an efficient kernel weights allocation method in MKL and boosts the performance of MKL largely.

Air quality prediction is an important research issue due to the increasing impact of air pollution on the urban environment. However, existing methods often fail to forecast high-polluting air conditions, which is precisely what should be highlighted. In this paper, a novel multiple kernel learning (MKL) model that embodies the characteristics of ensemble learning, kernel learning, and representative learning is proposed to forecast the near future air quality (AQ). The centered alignment approach is used for learning kernels, and a boosting approach is used to determine the proper number of kernels. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed MKL model, its performance is compared to that of classical autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model; widely used parametric models like random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM); popular neural network models like multiple layer perceptron (MLP); and long short-term memory neural network. Datasets acquired from a coastal city Hong Kong and an inland city Beijing are used to train and validate all the models. Experiments show that the MKL model outperforms the other models. Moreover, the MKL model has better forecast ability for high health risk category AQ.

Similarity Information

Abstract Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data widely exist in bioinformatics. It is crucial to devise a distance metric for scRNA-seq data. Almost all existing clustering methods based on spectral clustering algorithms work in three separate steps: similarity graph construction; continuous labels learning; discretization of the learned labels by k-means clustering. However, this common practice has potential flaws that may lead to severe information loss and degradation of performance. Furthermore, the performance of a kernel method is largely determined by the selected kernel; a self-weighted multiple kernel learning model can help choose the most suitable kernel for scRNA-seq data. To this end, we propose to automatically learn similarity information from data. We present a new clustering method in the form of a multiple kernel combination that can directly discover groupings in scRNA-seq data. The main proposition is that automatically learned similarity information from scRNA-seq data is used to transform the candidate solution into a new solution that better approximates the discrete one. The proposed model can be efficiently solved by the standard support vector machine (SVM) solvers. Experiments on benchmark scRNA-Seq data validate the superior performance of the proposed model. Spectral clustering with multiple kernels is implemented in Matlab, licensed under Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and freely available from the Github website, https://github.com/Cuteu/SMSC/.

Abstract Motivation Survival analysis methods that integrate pathways/gene sets into their learning model could identify molecular mechanisms that determine survival characteristics of patients. Rather than first picking the predictive pathways/gene sets from a given collection and then training a predictive model on the subset of genomic features mapped to these selected pathways/gene sets, we developed a novel machine learning algorithm (Path2Surv) that conjointly performs these two steps using multiple kernel learning. Results We extensively tested our Path2Surv algorithm on 7655 patients from 20 cancer types using cancer-specific pathway/gene set collections and gene expression profiles of these patients. Path2Surv statistically significantly outperformed survival random forest (RF) on 12 out of 20 datasets and obtained comparable predictive performance against survival support vector machine (SVM) using significantly fewer gene expression features (i.e. less than 10% of what survival RF and survival SVM used). Availability and implementation Our implementations of survival SVM and Path2Surv algorithms in R are available at https://github.com/mehmetgonen/path2surv together with the scripts that replicate the reported experiments. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
