Radar cross section (RCS) parameters of insect targets contain information related to their morphological parameters, which are helpful for the identification of migratory insects. Several morphological parameter estimation methods have been presented. However, most of these estimations are performed based on polynomial fitting methods, using only one or two parameters, which may limit the estimation accuracy. In this paper, a new insect mass estimation method is proposed based on support vector regression (SVR). Several RCS parameters were extracted for the estimation of insect mass. Support vector regression based on recursive feature elimination (SVRRFE) was used to obtain the optimal feature subset. Specifically, a dataset including 367 specimens was included to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Fifteen features were extracted and ranked. The optimal feature subset contained six features and the optimal mass estimation accuracy was 78%. Additionally, traditional insect mass estimation methods were analyzed for comparison. The results prove that the proposed method is more effective and accurate for insect mass estimation. It needs to be emphasized that the poor number of experimental insects available may limit the further improvement of estimation accuracy.

The extensive applications of support vector machines (SVMs) require efficient method of constructing a SVM classifier with high classification ability. The performance of SVM crucially depends on whether optimal feature subset and parameter of SVM can be efficiently obtained. In this paper, a coarse-grained parallel genetic algorithm (CGPGA) is used to simultaneously optimize the feature subset and parameters for SVM. The distributed topology and migration policy of CGPGA can help find optimal feature subset and parameters for SVM in significantly shorter time, so as to increase the quality of solution found. In addition, a new fitness function, which combines the classification accuracy obtained from bootstrap method, the number of chosen features, and the number of support vectors, is proposed to lead the search of CGPGA to the direction of optimal generalization error. Experiment results on 12 benchmark datasets show that our proposed approach outperforms genetic algorithm (GA) based method and grid search method in terms of classification accuracy, number of chosen features, number of support vectors, and running time.

Mixture production equipment is widely employed in road construction, and the quality of the produced mixture is the essential factor to ensure the quality of road construction. To detect the quality of the real-time produced mixture and solve the shortcomings of laboratory detection lag, a new fault detection method in the mixture production process is proposed, which is based on wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and support vector machine (SVM). The proposed scheme includes feature extraction, feature selection, SVM classification, and optimization algorithm. During feature extraction, wavelet basis function is utilized to 4-layer decompose the aggregate and asphalt data mixed in real-time. The energy value calculated by wavelet packet coefficient is the extracted feature. During feature selection, a method combining the chi-square test and wrapper (CSW) is conducted to select the optimal feature subset from WPD features. Eventually, by adopting the optimal feature subset, SVM has been developed to classify various faults. Its parameters are optimized by differential evolution (DE) algorithm. In the test stage, multiple faults of different specifications of aggregates and asphalt are detected in the mixture production process. The results demonstrate that (1) accuracy produced by the CSW method with WPD features is 4.33% higher than the PCA method with statistical features; (2) SVM classification method optimized by DE algorithm brings an increase in recognition accuracy of identifying different types of mixture production faults produced by different equipment. Compared to other available methods, the proposed algorithm has a very outstanding detection performance.

Phages are widely distributed in locations populated by bacterial hosts. Phage proteins can be divided into two main categories, that is, virion and non-virion proteins with different functions. In practice, people mainly use phage virion proteins to clarify the lysis mechanism of bacterial cells and develop new antibacterial drugs. Accurate identification of phage virion proteins is therefore essential to understanding the phage lysis mechanism. Although some computational methods have been focused on identifying virion proteins, the result is not satisfying which gives more room for improvement. In this study, a new sequence-based method was proposed to identify phage virion proteins using g-gap tripeptide composition. In this approach, the protein features were firstly extracted from the ggap tripeptide composition. Subsequently, we obtained an optimal feature subset by performing incremental feature selection (IFS) with information gain. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) was used as the classifier to discriminate virion proteins from non-virion proteins. In 10-fold crossvalidation test, our proposed method achieved an accuracy of 97.40% with AUC of 0.9958, which outperforms state-of-the-art methods. The result reveals that our proposed method could be a promising method in the work of phage virion proteins identification.

Recent studies have showed that machine learning techniques are advantageous to statistical models for medicine database classification, such as SVM. In this study, we discuss the applications of the support vector machine with mixture of kernel (SVM-MK) to design a classification system. Differing from the standard SVM, the SVM-MK uses the 1-norm based object function and adopts the convex combinations of single feature basic kernels. Only a linear programming problem needs to be resolved and it greatly reduces the computational costs. More important, it is a transparent model and the optimal feature subset can be obtained automatically. Three UCI databases are used to demonstrate the good performance of the SVM- MK.

In real-life applications, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for mental stress recognition require a conventional wearable device. This, in turn, requires an efficient number of EEG channels and an optimal feature set. This study aims to identify an optimal feature subset that can discriminate mental stress states while enhancing the overall classification performance. We extracted multi-domain features within the time domain, frequency domain, time-frequency domain, and network connectivity features to form a prominent feature vector space for stress. We then proposed a hybrid feature selection (FS) method using minimum redundancy maximum relevance with particle swarm optimization and support vector machines (mRMR-PSO-SVM) to select the optimal feature subset. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated and verified using four datasets, namely EDMSS, DEAP, SEED, and EDPMSC. To further consolidate, the effectiveness of the proposed method is compared with that of the state-of-the-art metaheuristic methods. The proposed model significantly reduced the features vector space by an average of 70% compared with the state-of-the-art methods while significantly increasing overall detection performance.

Abstract In this paper, an efficient projection wavelet weighted twin support vector regression (PWWTSVR) based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system (OFDM) system channel estimation algorithm is proposed. Most Channel estimation algorithms for OFDM systems are based on the linear assumption of channel model. In the proposed algorithm, the OFDM system channel is consumed to be nonlinear and fading in both time and frequency domains. The PWWTSVR utilizes pilot signals to estimate response of nonlinear wireless channel, which is the main work area of SVR. Projection axis in optimal objective function of PWWRSVR is sought to minimize the variance of the projected points due to the utilization of a priori information of training data. Different from traditional support vector regression algorithm, training samples in different positions in the proposed PWWTSVR model are given different penalty weights determined by the wavelet transform. The weights are applied to both the quadratic empirical risk term and the first-degree empirical risk term to reduce the influence of outliers. The final regressor can avoid the overfitting problem to a certain extent and yield great generalization ability for channel estimation. The results of numerical experiments show that the propose algorithm has better performance compared to the conventional pilot-aided channel estimation methods.

The fault samples of high voltage circuit breakers are few, the vibration signals are complex, the existing research methods cannot extract the effective information in the features, and it is easy to overfit, slow training, and other problems. To improve the efficiency of feature extraction of a circuit breaker vibration signal and the accuracy of circuit breaker state recognition, a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) method based on time-domain feature extraction with multi-type entropy features for mechanical fault diagnosis of the high voltage circuit breaker is proposed. First, the original vibration signal of the high voltage circuit breaker is segmented in the time domain; then, 16 features including 5 kinds of entropy features are extracted directly from each part of the original signal after time-domain segmentation, and the original feature set is constructed. Second, the Split importance value of each feature is calculated, and the optimal feature subset is determined by the forward feature selection, taking the classification accuracy of LightGBM as the decision variable. After that, the LightGBM classifier is constructed based on the feature vector of the optimal feature subset, which can accurately distinguish the mechanical fault state of the high voltage circuit breaker. The experimental results show that the new method has the advantages of high efficiency of feature extraction and high accuracy of fault identification.
