چکیده

This paper introduces an algorithm that combines naïve Bayes classification with feature weighting. Most of the related approaches to feature transformation for naïve Bayes suggest various heuristics and non-exhaustive search strategies for selecting a subset of features with which naïve Bayes performs better than with the complete set of features. In contrast, the algorithm introduced in this paper employs feature weighting performed by a support vector machine. The weights are optimised such that the danger of overfitting is reduced. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that naïve Bayes classification has been combined with feature weighting. Experimental results on 15 UCI domains demonstrate that WBCSVM compares favourably to state-of-the-art machine learning approaches.

A QUADRATIC MARGIN-BASED MODEL FOR WEIGHTING FUZZY CLASSIFICATION RULES INSPIRED BY SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINES

Recently, tuning the weights of the rules in Fuzzy Rule-Base Classification Systems is researched in order to improve the accuracy of classification. In this paper, a margin-based optimization model, inspired by Support Vector Machine classifiers, is proposed to compute these fuzzy rule weights. This approach not only  considers both accuracy and generalization criteria in a single objective fu...

Feature Selection and Classification of Microarray Gene Expression Data of Ovarian Carcinoma Patients using Weighted Voting Support Vector Machine

We can reach by DNA microarray gene expression to such wealth of information with thousands of variables (genes). Analysis of this information can show genetic reasons of disease and tumor differences. In this study we try to reduce high-dimensional data by statistical method to select valuable genes with high impact as biomarkers and then classify ovarian tumor based on gene expression data of...

Separating Well Log Data to Train Support Vector Machines for Lithology Prediction in a Heterogeneous Carbonate Reservoir

The prediction of lithology is necessary in all areas of petroleum engineering. This means that to design a project in any branch of petroleum engineering, the lithology must be well known. Support vector machines (SVM’s) use an analytical approach to classification based on statistical learning theory, the principles of structural risk minimization, and empirical risk minimization. In this res...
