Soft Monotonic Constraint Support Vector Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a model for learning soft-monotonic regression functions in the presence of imperfect domain knowledge. It proposes an extension to support vector regression (SVR) wherein a new hardness parameter is introduced to configure the degree of monotonicity. The model supports multiple monotonicity constraints over multiple input dimensions simultaneously. The proposed model has been validated on synthetic datasets as well as on benchmark datasets obtained from real world problems. The results show that our model has better extrapolation capabilities than SVR. The results also demonstrate the ability of the model to generalize over multiple input dimensions.

Predicting the Young\'s Modulus and Uniaxial Compressive Strength of a typical limestone using the Principal Component Regression and Particle Swarm Optimization
In geotechnical engineering, rock mechanics and engineering geology, depending on the project design, uniaxial strength and static Youngchr('39')s modulus of rocks are of vital importance. The direct determination of the aforementioned parameters in the laboratory, however, requires intact and high-quality cores and preparation of their specimens have some limitations. Moreover, performing thes...

Two main objectives have been considered in this paper: providing a good model to predict the critical temperature and pressure of binary hydrocarbon mixtures, and comparing the efficiency of the artificial neural network algorithms and the support vector regression as two commonly used soft computing methods. In order to have a fair comparison and to achieve the highest efficiency, a comprehen...
متن کاملIntroducing Softness into Inductive Queries on String Databases
In many application domains (e.g., WWW mining, molecular biology), large string datasets are available and yet under-exploited. The inductive database framework assumes that both such datasets and the various patterns holding within them might be queryable. In this setting, queries which return patterns are called inductive queries and solving them is one of the core research topics for data mi...
متن کاملSupport vector regression with random output variable and probabilistic constraints
Support Vector Regression (SVR) solves regression problems based on the concept of Support Vector Machine (SVM). In this paper, a new model of SVR with probabilistic constraints is proposed that any of output data and bias are considered the random variables with uniform probability functions. Using the new proposed method, the optimal hyperplane regression can be obtained by solving a quadrati...
متن کاملA General Formulation for Support Vector Machines
In this paper, we derive a general formulation of support vector machines for classification and regression respectively. Le loss function is proposed as a patch of L1 and L2 soft margin loss functions for classifier, while soft insensitive loss function is introduced as the generalization of popular loss functions for regression. The introduction of the two loss functions results in a general ...
