The performance of support vector mchine (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. Tests on standard datasets show that this method has higher precision and faster optimization speed compared with other four methods. Then the proposed method was applied to bus passenger flow counting. The experimental results show that the method reposed in this paper obtains higher classification accuracy.

While support vector regression is widely used as both a function approximating tool and a residual generator for nonlinear system fault isolation, a drawback for this method is the freedom in selecting model parameters. Moreover, for samples with discordant distributing complexities, the selection of reasonable parameters is even impossible. To alleviate this problem we introduce the method of flexible support vector regression (F-SVR), which is especially suited for modelling complicated sample distributions, as it is free from parameters selection. Reasonable parameters for F-SVR are automatically generated given a sample distribution. Lastly, we apply this method in the analysis of the fault isolation of high frequency power supplies, where satisfactory results have been obtained.

Support vector machine (SVM) is a widely used tool in the field of image processing and pattern recognition. However, the parameters selection of SVMs is a dilemma in disease identification and clinical diagnosis. This paper proposed an improved parameter optimization method based on traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm by changing the fitness function in the traditional evolution process of SVMs. Then, this PSO method was combined with simulated annealing global searching algorithm to avoid local convergence that traditional PSO algorithms usually run into. And this method has achieved better results which reflected in the receiver-operating characteristic curves in medical images classification and has gained considerable identification accuracy in clinical disease detection.

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.

Trip-related falls are a major problem in the elderly population and research in the area has received much attention recently. The focus has been on devising ways of identifying individuals at risk of sustaining such falls. The main aim of this work is to explore the effectiveness of models based on Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for the automated recognition of gait patterns that exhibit falling behavior. Minimum toe clearance (MTC) during continuous walking on a treadmill was recorded on 10 healthy elderly and 10 elderly with balance problems and with a history of tripping falls. Statistical features obtained from MTC histograms were used as inputs to the SVM model to classify between the healthy and balance-impaired subjects. The leave-one-out technique was utilized for training the SVM model in order to find the optimal model parameters. Tests were conducted with various kernels (linear, Gaussian and polynomial) and with a change in the regularization parameter, C, in an effort to identify the optimum model for this gait data. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots of sensitivity and specificity were further used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the model. The maximum accuracy was found to be 90% using a Gaussian kernel with σ2 = 10 and the maximum ROC area 0.98 (80% sensitivity and 100% specificity), when all statistical features were used by the SVM models to diagnose gait patterns of healthy and balance-impaired individuals. This accuracy was further improved by using a feature selection method in order to reduce the effect of redundant features. It was found that two features (standard deviation and maximum value) were adequate to give an improved accuracy of 95% (90% sensitivity and 100% specificity) using a polynomial kernel of degree 2. These preliminary results are encouraging and could be useful not only for diagnostic applications but also for evaluating improvements in gait function in the clinical/rehabilitation contexts.

The parameter optimization is the key to study of support vector machine (SVM). With strong global search capability of bacterial foraging algorithm(BFA), the optimization method—support vector machine parameters optimization based on bacterial foraging algorithm was proposed, which can achieve the dynamic optimization of the parametersCandγ,and overcomes the problem of inefficiency for selecting reasonable parameters according to the experience in the traditional fault diagnosis. Compared with other methods, the BFA is simpler and easier for programming, and the optimization SVM model become smaller. The rolling bearing fault diagnosis results show that bacterial foraging algorithm is suitable for support vector machine parameter optimization.

Abstract This article proposes a new hybrid least squares-support vector machine and artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC-LS-SVM) for multi-hour ahead forecasting of global solar radiation (GHI) data. The framework performs on training the least squares-support vector machine (LS-SVM) model by means of the ABC algorithm using the measured data. ABC is developed for free parameters optimization for the LS-SVM model in a search space so as to boost the forecasting performance. The developed ABC-LS-SVM approach is verified on an hourly scale on a database of five years of measurements. The measured data were collected from 2013 to 2017 at the Applied Research Unit for Renewable Energy (URAER) in Ghardaia, south of Algeria. Several combinations of input data have been tested to model the desired output. Forecasting results of 12 h ahead GHI with the ABC-LS-SVM model led to the root-mean-square error (RMSE) equal to 116.22 Wh/m2, Correlation coefficient r = 94.3%. With the classical LS-SVM, the RMSE error equals to 117.73 Wh/m2 and correlation coefficient r = 92.42%; for cuckoo search algorithm combined with LS-SVM, the RMSE = 116.89 Wh/m2 and r = 93.78%. The results achieved reveal that the proposed hybridization scheme provides a more accurate performance compared to cuckoo search-LS-SVM and the stand-alone LS-SVM.

Container ships must pass through multiple ports of call during a voyage. Therefore, forecasting container volume information at the port of origin followed by sending such information to subsequent ports is crucial for container terminal management and container stowage personnel. Numerous factors influence container allocation to container ships for a voyage, and the degree of influence varies, engendering a complex nonlinearity. Therefore, this paper proposes a model based on gray relational analysis (GRA) and mixed kernel support vector machine (SVM) for predicting container allocation to a container ship for a voyage. First, in this model, the weights of influencing factors are determined through GRA. Then, the weighted factors serve as the input of the SVM model, and SVM model parameters are optimized through a genetic algorithm. Numerical simulations revealed that the proposed model could effectively predict the number of containers for container ship voyage and that it exhibited strong generalization ability and high accuracy. Accordingly, this model provides a new method for predicting container volume for a voyage.
