As a method to compensate the deterioration of the picture quality which was caused by beam profile characteristic in the CRT and the projection screen of HD projection TV, a linear scan velocity modulation(SVM) method has been employed, whose modulation velocity is linearly proportional to the variation in the video signal amplitude. However, the effect of picture quality improvement is not uniform with video signal amplitude in the linear SVM. In this paper, for the optimum SVM effect, we analyze the beam profile characteristic on the HD projection screen and we analyze the SVM effect as function of the differentiated pulse width, the differentiated pulse amplitude and the input signal amplitude. Finally we confirm that the nonlinear SVM method is necessary to get uniform image compensation in the HD projection TV, and we implement the nonlinear SVM circuit. The performance of the realized SVM circuit with nonlinear amplitude transfer characteristic is confirmed as uniform improvements in picture quality.

Prediction problems are widely used in medical domains. For example, computer aided diagnosis or prognosis is a key component in a CDSS (Clinical Decision Support System). SVMs with nonlinear kernels like RBF kernels, have shown superior accuracy in prediction problems. However, they are not preferred by physicians for medical prediction problems because nonlinear SVMs are difficult to visualize, thus it is hard to provide intuitive interpretation of prediction results to physicians. Nomogram was proposed to visualize SVM classification models. However, it cannot visualize nonlinear SVM models. Localized Radial Basis Function (LRBF) was proposed which shows comparable accuracy as the RBF kernel while the LRBF kernel is easier to interpret since it can be linearly decomposed. This paper presents a new tool named VRIFA, which integrates the nomogram and LRBF kernel to provide users with an interactive visualization of nonlinear SVM models, VRIFA visualizes the internal structure of nonlinear SVM models showing the effect of each feature, the magnitude of the effect, and the change at the prediction output. VRIFA also performs nomogram-based feature selection while training a model in order to remove noise or redundant features and improve the prediction accuracy. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) can be used to evaluate the prediction result when the data set is highly imbalanced. The tool can be used by biomedical researchers for computer-aided diagnosis and risk factor analysis for diseases.

The reconstruction of low dimension nonlinear behavior from the hydrologic time series has been an active area of research in the last decade. In this study, we present the applications of a powerful state space reconstruction methodology using the method of Support Vector Machines (SVM) to the Great Salt Lake (GSL) volume. SVMs are machine learning systems that use a hypothesis space of linear functions in a Kernel induced higher dimensional feature space. SVMs are optimized by minimizing a bound on a generalized error (risk) measure, rather than just the mean square error over a training set. The utility of this SVM regression approach is demonstrated through applications to the short term forecasts of the biweekly GSL volume. The SVM based reconstruction is used to develop time series forecasts for multiple lead times ranging from the period of two weeks to several months. The reliability of the algorithm in learning and forecasting the dynamics is tested using split sample sensitivity analyses, with a particular interest in forecasting extreme states. Unlike previously reported methodologies, SVMs are able to extract the dynamics using only a few past observed data points (Support Vectors, SV) out of the training examples. Considering statistical measures, the prediction model based on SVM demonstrated encouraging and promising results in a short-term prediction. Thus, the SVM method presented in this study suggests a competitive methodology for the forecast of hydrologic time series.

Context dependent fusion (CDF) is a fusion algorithm that combines multiple outputs from different classifiers to achieve better performance. CDF tries to divide the problem context into several homogeneous sub-contexts and to fuse data locally with respect to each sub-context. CDF showed better performance than existing methods, however, it is sensitive to noise due to the large number of parameters optimized and the innate linearity limits the application of CDF. In this paper, a variant of CDF using support vector machines (SVMs) for fusion and kernel principal component analysis (K-PCA) for context extraction is proposed to solve the problems in CDF, named CDF-SVM. Kernel PCA can shape irregular clusters including elliptical ones through the non-linear kernel transformation and SVM can draw a non-linear decision boundary. Regularization terms is also included in the objective function of CDF-SVM to mitigate the noise sensitivity in CDF. CDF-SVM showed better performance than CDF and its variants, which is demonstrated through the experiments with a landmine data set.

기후변화로 인해 기온, 강수량, 습도 등의 기후를 예측하고 변화하는 환경에 적응해가며 생활하고 있다. 또한 여러 가지 외부적인 요인들의 영향을 받아 상수도 시설에서의 에너지 사용량도 영향을 많이 받는다. 하지만 이러한 상수도 시설의 사용량 변화로 인해 상수도 수요량의 변화량을 예측하는데 있어서 국내 연구 및 방법이 많이 부족한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다중스케일을 기반으로 하는 비선형 예측 모형을 개발하고자 한다. 다중스케일 분석에서도 가장 우수한 분해 능력을 가지는 Wavelet Transform을 적용하여 시계열을 분해한 후 패턴인식 기반의 비선형 예측모형인 Support Vector Machine(SVM)을 적용하였다. 상수도 수요량의 예측 과정은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상수도 수요량 자료를 Wavelet Transform 기법을 통하여 단순화 시킨다. 둘째, Global Wavelet Spectrum을 통하여 통계적으로 의미 있는 성분만을 추출하고 이를 해석 대상으로 한다. 셋째, 특정 주기를 갖는 유의한 독립성분들에 대해서 최적 지체시간을 결정한 후 SVM모형을 통해 예측 모형을 구축한다. 넷째, 나머지 성분에 대해서도 SVM 모형을 적용하여 예측을 실시한 후 앞서 예측된 성분과 모두 결합하여 최종적으로 예측시계열을 구성한다.

Least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) is a kernel trick gaining a lot of popularities in the regression and classification problems. We use LS-SVM to propose a iterative algorithm for a nonlinear generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model in the mean (GARCH-M) model to estimate the mean and the conditional volatility of stock market returns. The proposed method combines a weighted LS-SVM for the mean and unweighted LS-SVM for the conditional volatility. In this paper, we show that nonlinear GARCH-M models have a higher performance than the linear GARCH model and the linear GARCH-M model via real data estimations.

In this paper we propose effective speech recognizer through two recognition experiments. In general, SVM is classification method which classify two class set by finding voluntary nonlinear boundary in vector space and possesses high classification performance under few training data number. In this paper we compare recognition performance of HMM and SVM at training data number and investigate recognition performance of each feature parameter while changing feature space of MFCC using Independent Component Analysis(ICA) and Principal Component Analysis(PCA). As a result of experiment, recognition performance of SVM is better than 1:.um under few training data number, and feature parameter by ICA showed the highest recognition performance because of superior linear classification.

In this paper, we propose a multi-modal biometrics system based on face and signature recognition system. Here, the face recognition system is designed by fuzzy LDA, and the signature recognition system is implemented with the LDA and segment matching methods. To effectively aggregate two systems, we obtain statistical distribution models based on matching values for genuine and impostor, respectively. And then, the final verification is Performed by the support vector machine. From the various experiments, we find that the proposed method shows high recognition rates comparing with the conventional methods.

In this Paper, Support Vector Machine(SVM) and Artificial Neural Network(ANN) are used for developing the defect diagnostic algorithm of the aircraft turbo-shaft engine. The system that uses the ANN falls in a local minima when it learns many nonlinear data, and its classification accuracy ratio becomes low. To make up for this risk, the Separate Learning Algorithm(SLA) of ANN has been proposed by using SVM. This is the method that ANN learns selectively after discriminating the defect position by SVM, then more improved performance estimation can be obtained than using ANN only. The proposed SLA can make the higher classification accuracy by decreasing the nonlinearity of the massive data during the training procedure.
