Learning ranking (or preference) functions has become an important data mining task in recent years, as various applications have been found in information retrieval. Among rank learning methods, ranking SVM has been favorably applied to various applications, e.g., optimizing search engines, improving data retrieval quality. In this paper, we first develop a 1-norm ranking SVM that is faster in...

The aim of this paper is to bring the reader closer to the diagnostics of complex analog systems with parametric faults, using Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a tool for fault location. The results of diagnostics of a video enhancer and two low-pass filters with the help of SVM network are presented, and various SVM kernel functions tested. A strategy for finding the optimal kernels and their p...

In this paper a novel method for finding the fault zone on a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) incorporated transmission line is presented. The method makes use of the Support Vector Machine (SVM), used in the classification mode to distinguish between the zones, before or after the TCSC. The use of Discrete Wavelet Transform is made to prepare the features which would be given as th...

Prediction of cancer survivability using machine learning techniques has become a popular approach in recent years. ‎In this regard, an important issue is that preparation of some features may need conducting difficult and costly experiments while these features have less significant impacts on the final decision and can be ignored from the feature set‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎developing a machine for p...

The phenomenal growth of social media, both in scale and importance, has created a unique opportunity to track information diffusion and the spread of influence, but can also make efficient tracking difficult. Given data streams representing blog posts on multiple blog channels and a focal query post on some topic of interest, our objective is to predict which of those channels are most likely ...

Data Mining is a new filed in data processing research. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is one of the new methods using in data mining, which has gained great applicable success. However, there are still plenty of limitations in SVM. For example, SVM won’t work if its training set contains uncertain information. In order to solve the problem presented above, this paper discusses the constraining p...

This paper presents a strategy of adaptive online sketchy shape recognition. The inputting sketchy shapes are recognized online by means of a modified Support Vector Machine (SVM) incremental learning classifier. All classified results evaluated by user are collected and some important samples are selected according to their distances to the hyper-plane of the SVM-classifier. The classifier can...
