klinkenberg permeability is an important parameter in tight gas reservoirs. there are conventional methods for determining it, but these methods depend on core permeability. cores are few in number, but well logs are usually accessible for all wells and provide continuous information. in this regard, regression methods have been used to achieve reliable relations between log readings and klinke...

We propose a snowing model to iteratively smoothe the various image noises while preserving the important image structures such as edges and lines. Considering the gray image as a digital terrain model, we develop an adaptive weighted least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) to iteratively estimate the optimal gray surface underlying the noisy image. The LS-SVM works on Gaussian noise whil...

Here we propose a novel machine learning method for time series forecasting which is based on the widelyused Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) approach. The objective function of our method contains a weighted variance minimization part as well. This modification makes the method more efficient in time series forecasting as this paper will show. The proposed method is a generalizati...

in recent years, the needs of the internet are felt in lives of all people.  accordingly, many studies have been done on security in virtual environment. old technics such as firewalls, authentication and encryption could not provide internet security completely; so, intrusion detection system is created as a new solution and a defense wall in cyber environment. many studies were performed on d...

internet applications spreading and its high usage popularity result insignificant increasing of cyber-attacks. consequently, network security has becomea matter of importance and several methods have been developed for these attacks.for this purpose, intrusion detection systems (ids) are being used to monitor theattacks occurred on computer networks. data mining techniques, machinelearning, ne...

porosity is considered as an important petrophysical parameter in characterizing reservoirs, calculating in-situ oil reserves, and production evaluation. nowadays, using intelligent techniques has become a popular method for porosity estimation. support vector machine (svm) a new intelligent method with a great generalization potential of modeling non-linear relationships has been introduced fo...

different approaches have been proposed for feature selection to obtain suitable features subset among all features. these methods search feature space for feature subsets which satisfies some criteria or optimizes several objective functions. the objective functions are divided into two main groups: filter and wrapper methods.  in filter methods, features subsets are selected due to some measu...

segmentation and three‑dimensional (3d) visualization of teeth in dental computerized tomography (ct) images are of dentists’ requirements for both abnormalities diagnosis and the treatments such as dental implant and orthodontic planning. on the other hand, dental ct image segmentation is a difficult process because of the specific characteristics of the tooth’s structure. this paper presents ...

in this paper, we present a new brain tissue segmentation method based on a hybrid hierarchical approach that combines a brain atlas as a priori information and a least-square support vector machine (ls-svm). the method consists of three steps. in the first two steps, the skull is removed and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) is extracted. these two steps are performed using the fast toolbox (fmrib's a...

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have become a popular classification tool. Because of their theoretical robustness they offer improvements in pattern classification applications. This paper describes an approach of producing a N-best list of hypotheses for the needs of phoneme recognition, using a Least Squares Support Vector Machine classifier (LS-SVM) and generate the corresponding N-best list...
