Abstract. The present study investigates a geometrical method for optimizing the kernel function of a support vector machine. The method is an improvement of the one proposed in [4...
Classification of microarray data requires the selection of a subset of relevant genes in order to achieve good classification performance. Several genetic algorithms have been d...
The goal of feature induction is to automatically create nonlinear combinations of existing features as additional input features to improve classification accuracy. Typically, no...
We apply Support Vector Machines (SVMs) to identify English base phrases (chunks). SVMs are known to achieve high generalization performance even with input data of high dimension...
Recently, instead of selecting a single kernel, multiple kernel learning (MKL) has been proposed which uses a convex combination of kernels, where the weight of each kernel is opt...
