This paper presents a novel method for image classification based on a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) and support vector machine (SVM) approach which can significantly improve the classification performance for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Though SVM has been widely applied to CBIR, it has some problems such as the kernel parameters setting and feature subset selection of SVM which impact the classification accuracy in the learning process. This study aims at simultaneously optimizing the parameters of SVM and feature subset without degrading the classification accuracy of SVM using GA for CBIR. Using the hybrid GA and SVM model, we can classify more images in the database effectively. Experiments were carried out on a large-size database of images and experiment results show that the classification accuracy of conventional SVM may be improved significantly by using the proposed model. We also found that the proposed model outperformed all the other models such as neural network and typical SVM models.

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a well-known machine learning classification algorithm, which has been widely applied to many data mining problems, with good accuracy. However, SVM classification speed decreases with increase in dataset size. Some applications, like video surveillance and intrusion detection, requires a classifier to be trained very quickly, and on large datasets. Hence, this paper introduces two filter-based instance selection techniques for optimizing SVM training speed. Fast classification is often achieved at the expense of classification accuracy, and some applications, such as phishing and spam email classifiers, are very sensitive to slight drop in classification accuracy. Hence, this paper also introduces two wrapper-based instance selection techniques for improving SVM predictive accuracy and training speed. The wrapper and filter based techniques are inspired by Cuckoo Search Algorithm and Bat Algorithm. The proposed techniques are validated on three popular e-fraud types: credit card fraud, spam email and phishing email. In addition, the proposed techniques are validated on 20 other datasets provided by UCI data repository. Moreover, statistical analysis is performed and experimental results reveals that the filter-based and wrapper-based techniques significantly improved SVM classification speed. Also, results reveal that the wrapper-based techniques improved SVM predictive accuracy in most cases.

For predicting defect-prone module in software, SVM classifier showed good performance in a previous research. But there are disadvantages that SVM parameter should be chosen differently for every kernel, and algorithm should be performed iteratively for predict results of changed parameter. Therefore, we find these parameters using Genetic Algorithm and compare with result of classification by Backpropagation Algorithm. As a result, the performance of GA-SVM model is better.

Classification result by comprehensive analysis of rhythm section and heartbeat unit makes a reliable diagnosis of heart disease possible. In this paper, based on feature-points of ECG signals, rhythm analysis for constant section and heartbeat unit is conducted using rule-based classification and SVM-based classification respectively. Rhythm types are classified using a rule base deduced from clinical materials for features of rhythm section in rule-based classification, and monotonic rhythm or major abnormality heartbeats are classified using multiple SVMs trained previously for features of heartbeat unit in SVM-based classification. Experimental results for the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show classification ratios of 68.52% by rule-based method alone and 87.04% by fusion method of rule-based and SVM-based for 11 rhythm types. The proposed fusion method is improved by about 19% through misclassification improvement for monotonic and arrangement rhythms by SVM-based method.

Recently, the high-resolution satellite images is used the land cover and status data for the natural resources or environment management very helpful. The SVM algorithm of image processing has been used in various field. However, classification accuracy by SVM algorithm can be changed by various kernel functions and parameters. In this paper, the typical kernel function of the SVM algorithm was applied to the KOMPSAT-2 image and than the result of land cover performed the accuracy analysis using the checkpoint. Also, we carried out the analysis for selected the SVM kernel function from the land cover of the target region. As a result, the polynomial kernel function is demonstrated about the highest overall accuracy of classification. And that we know that the polynomial kernel and RBF kernel function is the best kernel function about each classification category accuracy.

1. Objectives: Voice diagnosis has been used to classify individuals into the Sasang constitution in SCM(Sasang Constitution Medicine) and to recognize his/her health condition in TKM(Traditional Korean Medicine). In this paper, we purposed a new speech classification algorithm for Sasang constitution. 2. Methods: This algorithm is based on the SVM(Support Vector Machine) technique, which is a classification method to classify two distinct groups by finding voluntary nonlinear boundary in vector space. It showed high performance in classification with a few numbers of trained data set. We designed for this algorithm using 3 SVM classifiers to classify into 4 groups, which are composed of 3 constitutional groups and additional indecision group. 3. Results: For the optimal performance, we found that 32.2% of the voice data were classified into three constitutional groups and 79.8% out of them were grouped correctly. 4. Conclusions: This new classification method including indecision group appears efficient compared to the standard classification algorithm which classifies only into 3 constitutional groups. We find that more thorough investigation on the voice features is required to improve the classification efficiency into Sasang constitution.

Support vector machines have been extensively studied and utilized in pattern recognition area for years. One of interesting applications of this technique is music/speech classification for a standardized codec such as 3GPP2 selectable mode vocoder. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that improves the speech/music classification of support vector machines. While conventional support vector machine optimization techniques apply during training phase, the proposed technique can be adopted in classification phase. In this regard, the proposed approach can be developed and employed in parallel with conventional optimizations, resulting in synergistic boost in classification performance. We first analyze the impact of kernel width parameter on the classifications made by support vector machines. From this analysis, we observe that we can fine-tune outputs of support vector machines with the kernel width parameter. To make the most of this capability, we identify strong correlation among neighboring input frames, and use this correlation information as a guide to adjusting kernel width parameter. According to the experimental results, the proposed algorithm is found to have potential for improving the performance of support vector machines.
