Content-based audio classification and retrieval by support vector machines

Support vector machines (SVMs) have been recently proposed as a new learning algorithm for pattern recognition. In this paper, the SVMs with a binary tree recognition strategy are used to tackle the audio classification problem. We illustrate the potential of SVMs on a common audio database, which consists of 409 sounds of 16 classes. We compare the SVMs based classification with other popular approaches. For audio retrieval, we propose a new metric, called distance-from-boundary (DFB). When a query audio is given, the system first finds a boundary inside which the query pattern is located. Then, all the audio patterns in the database are sorted by their distances to this boundary. All boundaries are learned by the SVMs and stored together with the audio database. Experimental comparisons for audio retrieval are presented to show the superiority of this novel metric to other similarity measures.     

一种基于混合二叉树结构的多类支持向量机分类算法

为提高多类支持向量机的分类效率,提出了一种基于混合二叉树结构的多类支持向量机分类算法。该混合二叉树中的每个内部结点对应一个分割超平面,该超平面通过计算两个距离最远的类的质心而获得,即该超平面为连接两质心线段的垂直平分线。每个终端结点(即决策结点)对应一个支持向量机,它的训练集不再是质心而是两类(组)样本集。该分类模型通常是超平面和支持向量机的混合结构,其中超平面实现训练早期的近似划分,以提升分类速度;而支持向量机完成最终的精确分类,以保证分类精度。实验结果表明,相比于经典的多类支持向量机方法,该算法在保证分类精度的前提下,能够有效缩短计算时间,提升分类效率。

A corporate credit rating model using multi-class support vector machines with an ordinal pairwise partitioning approach

Predicting corporate credit-rating using statistical and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques has received considerable research attention in the literature. In recent years, multi-class support vector machines (MSVMs) have become a very appealing machine-learning approach due to their good performance. Until now, researchers have proposed a variety of techniques for adapting support vector machines (SVMs) to multi-class classification, since SVMs were originally devised for binary classification. However, most of them have only focused on classifying samples into nominal categories; thus, the unique characteristic of credit-rating - ordinality - seldom has been considered in the proposed approaches. This study proposes a new type of MSVM classifier (named OMSVM) that is designed to extend the binary SVMs by applying an ordinal pairwise partitioning (OPP) strategy. Our model can efficiently and effectively handle multiple ordinal classes. To validate OMSVM, we applied it to a real-world case of bond rating. We compared the results of our model with those of conventional MSVM approaches and other AI techniques including MDA, MLOGIT, CBR, and ANNs. The results showed that our proposed model improves the performance of classification in comparison to other typical multi-class classification techniques and uses fewer computational resources.

A novel pattern recognition algorithm: Combining ART network with SVM to reconstruct a multi-class classifier

Based on the principle of one-against-one support vector machines (SVMs) multi-class classification algorithm, this paper proposes an extended SVMs method which couples adaptive resonance theory (ART) network to reconstruct a multi-class classifier. Different coupling strategies to reconstruct a multi-class classifier from binary SVM classifiers are compared with application to fault diagnosis of transmission line. Majority voting, a mixture matrix and self-organizing map (SOM) network are compared in reconstructing the global classification decision. In order to evaluate the method’s efficiency, one-against-all, decision directed acyclic graph (DDAG) and decision-tree (DT) algorithm based SVM are compared too. The comparison is done with simulations and the best method is validated with experimental data.     

A new maximal-margin spherical-structured multi-class support vector machine

Support vector machines (SVMs), initially proposed for two-class classification problems, have been very successful in pattern recognition problems. For multi-class classification problems, the standard hyperplane-based SVMs are made by constructing and combining several maximal-margin hyperplanes, and each class of data is confined into a certain area constructed by those hyperplanes. Instead of using hyperplanes, hyperspheres that tightly enclosed the data of each class can be used. Since the class-specific hyperspheres are constructed for each class separately, the spherical-structured SVMs can be used to deal with the multi-class classification problem easily. In addition, the center and radius of the class-specific hypersphere characterize the distribution of examples from that class, and may be useful for dealing with imbalance problems. In this paper, we incorporate the concept of maximal margin into the spherical-structured SVMs. Besides, the proposed approach has the advantage of using a new parameter on controlling the number of support vectors. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs well on both artificial and benchmark datasets.

Wavelets-based facial expression recognition using a bank of support vector machines

A human face does not play its role in the identification of an individual but also communicates useful information about a person’s emotional state at a particular time. No wonder automatic face expression recognition has become an area of great interest within the computer science, psychology, medicine, and human–computer interaction research communities. Various feature extraction techniques based on statistical to geometrical data have been used for recognition of expressions from static images as well as real-time videos. In this paper, we present a method for automatic recognition of facial expressions from face images by providing discrete wavelet transform features to a bank of seven parallel support vector machines (SVMs). Each SVM is trained to recognize a particular facial expression, so that it is most sensitive to that expression. Multi-classification is achieved by combining multiple SVMs performing binary classification using one-against-all approach. The outputs of all SVMs are combined using a maximum function. The classification efficiency is tested on static images from the publicly available Japanese Female Facial Expression database. The experiments using the proposed method demonstrate promising results.

A recognition and novelty detection approach based on Curvelet transform,nonlinear PCA and SVM with application to indicator diagram diagnosis

Indicator diagram plays an important role in the health monitoring and fault diagnosis of reciprocating compressors. Different shapes of indicator diagram indicate different faults of reciprocating compressor. A proper feature extraction and pattern recognition method for indicator diagram is significant for practical uses. In this paper, a novel approach is presented to handle the multi-class indicator diagrams recognition and novelty detection problems. When multi-class faults samples are available, this approach implements multi-class fault recognition; otherwise, the novelty detection is implemented. In this approach, the discrete 2D-Curvelet transform is adopted to extract the representative features of indicator diagram, nonlinear PCA is employed for multi-class recognition to reduce dimensionality, and PCA is used for novelty detection. Finally, multi-class and one-class support vector machines (SVMs) are used as the classifier and novelty detector respectively. Experimental results showed that the performance of the proposed approach is better than the traditional wavelet-based approach.     

Fuzzy rules extraction from support vector machines for multi-class classification

This paper proposes a new method for fuzzy rule extraction from trained support vector machines (SVMs) for multi-class problems, named FREx_SVM. SVMs have been used in a variety of applications. However, they are considered “black box models,” where no interpretation about the input–output mapping is provided. Some methods to reduce this limitation have already been proposed, but they are restricted to binary classification problems and to the extraction of symbolic rules with intervals or functions in their antecedents. In order to improve the interpretability of the generated rules, this paper presents a new model for extracting fuzzy rules from a trained SVM. The proposed model is suited for classification in multi-class problems and includes a wrapper feature selection algorithm. It is evaluated in four benchmark databases, and results obtained demonstrate its capacity to generate a reduced set of interpretable fuzzy rules that explains both the classification database and the influence of each input variable on the determination of the final class.
