Recent research in wearable sensors have led to the development of an advanced platform capable of embedding complex algorithms such as machine learning algorithms, which are known to usually be resource-demanding. To address the need for high computational power, one solution is to design custom hardware platforms dedicated to the specific application by exploiting, for example, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Recently, model-based techniques and automatic code generation have been introduced in FPGA design. In this paper, a new model-based floating-point accumulation circuit is presented. The architecture is based on the state-of-the-art delayed buffering algorithm. This circuit was conceived to be exploited in order to compute the kernel function of a support vector machine. The implementation of the proposed model was carried out in Simulink, and simulation results showed that it had better performance in terms of speed and occupied area when compared to other solutions. To better evaluate its figure, a practical case of a polynomial kernel function was considered. Simulink and VHDL post-implementation timing simulations and measurements on FPGA confirmed the good results of the stand-alone accumulator.

A brief introduction of the basic concepts of the classification interval, the optimal classification surface and support vector; explained derivation of SVM based on Lagrange optimization method; Sigmoid kernel function and so on. It describes three methods of C-SVM、V-SVM and least squares SVM based on Sigmoid kernel function. To a bearing failure as a example to compare three results of SVM training of the kernel linear function, polynomial kernel function, Sigmoid kernel function, The results show that satisfactory fault analysis demand the appropriate kernel function selection. Fault in the gear box, the bearing failure is 19%, In addition, the rate is as high as 30% in other rotating machinery system failure [1,2].Thus, rolling bearing condition monitoring and fault diagnosis are very important to production safety, and many scholars have done numerous studies [3,4]. Support vector machine method is a learning methods based on statistical learning theory Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension theory and structural risk minimization [5,6].

Abstract The pattern analysis technology based on kernel methods is a new technology, which combines good performance and strict theory. With support vector machine, pattern analysis is easy and fast. But the existing kernel function fits the requirement. In the paper, we explore the new mixed kernel functions which are mixed with Gaussian and Wavelet function, Gaussian and Polynomial kernel function. With the new mixed kernel functions, we check different parameters. The results shows that the new mixed kernel functions have good time efficiency and accuracy. In image recognition we used SVM with two mixed kernel functions, the mixed kernel function of Gaussian and Wavelet function are suitable for more states.

ABSTRACT Introduction Early prediction of the acute hypotensive episode (AHE) in critically ill patients has the potential to improve outcomes. In this study, we apply different machine learning algorithms to the MIMIC III Physionet dataset, containing more than 60,000 real-world intensive care unit records, to test commonly used machine learning technologies and compare their performances. Materials and Methods Five classification methods including K-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, and a deep learning method called long short-term memory are applied to predict an AHE 30 minutes in advance. An analysis comparing model performance when including versus excluding invasive features was conducted. To further study the pattern of the underlying mean arterial pressure (MAP), we apply a regression method to predict the continuous MAP values using linear regression over the next 60 minutes. Results Support vector machine yields the best performance in terms of recall (84%). Including the invasive features in the classification improves the performance significantly with both recall and precision increasing by more than 20 percentage points. We were able to predict the MAP with a root mean square error (a frequently used measure of the differences between the predicted values and the observed values) of 10 mmHg 60 minutes in the future. After converting continuous MAP predictions into AHE binary predictions, we achieve a 91% recall and 68% precision. In addition to predicting AHE, the MAP predictions provide clinically useful information regarding the timing and severity of the AHE occurrence. Conclusion We were able to predict AHE with precision and recall above 80% 30 minutes in advance with the large real-world dataset. The prediction of regression model can provide a more fine-grained, interpretable signal to practitioners. Model performance is improved by the inclusion of invasive features in predicting AHE, when compared to predicting the AHE based on only the available, restricted set of noninvasive technologies. This demonstrates the importance of exploring more noninvasive technologies for AHE prediction.

AbstractFor the financial distress prediction model based on support vector machine, there are no theories concerning how to choose a proper kernel function in a data-dependent way. This paper proposes a method of modified kernel function that can availably enhance classification accuracy. We apply an information-geometric method to modifying a kernel that is based on the structure of the Riemannian geometry induced in the input space by the kernel. A conformal transformation of a kernel from input space to higher-dimensional feature space enlarges volume elements locally near support vectors that are situated around the classification boundary and reduce the number of support vectors. This paper takes the Gaussian radial basis function as the internal kernel. Additionally, this paper combines the above method with the theories of standard regularization and non-dimensionalization to construct the new model. In the empirical analysis section, the paper adopts the financial data of Chinese listed companies. It uses five groups of experiments with different parameters to compare the classification accuracy. We can make the conclusion that the model of modified kernel function can effectively reduce the number of support vectors, and improve the classification accuracy.
