The prediction-based method is used to determine the embedding dimension of the traffic data. Based on the reconstructed phase space, the local support vector machine prediction method is used to predict the traffic measurement data, and the BIC-based neighbouring point selection method is used to choose the number of the nearest neighbouring points for the local support vector machine regression model. The experimental results show that the local support vector machine prediction method whose neighbouring points are optimized can effectively predict the small-time scale traffic measurement data and can reproduce the statistical features of real traffic measurements.展开更多

So we can use the support vector machine regression method to fit the core-ratio value and predict the protein binding sites. We also design a new group of physical and chemical descriptors to characterize the binding sites. The new descriptors are more effective, with an averaging procedure used. Our test shows that much better prediction results can be obtained by the support vector regression （SVR） method than by the support vector classification method.展开更多

Then the new data-dependent kernel function is constructed from information geometry perspective. The current waveforms change regularly in accordance with the different horizontal offset when the rotational frequency of the high speed rotational arc sensor is in the range from 15 Hz to 30 Hz. The welding current data is pretreated by wavelet filtering, mean filtering and normalization treatment. The SVR model is constructed by making use of the evolvement laws, the decision function can be achieved by training the SVR and the seam offset can be identified. The experimental results show that the precision of the offset identification can be greatly improved by modifying the SVR and applying mean filteringfrom the longitudinal direction.展开更多

The defects of the ex- isting adaptive pruning algorithm for LS-SVRM are that the training speed is slow, and the generalization performance is not satis- factory, especially for large scale problems. Hence an improved algorithm is proposed. In order to accelerate the training speed, the pruned data point and fast leave-one-out error are employed to validate the temporary model obtained after decremental learning. The novel objective function in the termination condition which in- volves the whole constraints generated by all training data points and three pruning strategies are employed to improve the generali- zation performance. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is tested on six benchmark datasets. The sparse LS-SVRM model has a faster training speed and better generalization performance.展开更多

To this end, an im- proved scheme is proposed to accelerate sparse least squares support vector regression machine. A major advantage of this new scheme is based on the iterative methodology, which uses the previous training results instead of retraining, and its feasibility is strictly verified theoretically. Finally, experiments on bench- mark data sets corroborate a significant saving of the training time with the same number of support vectors and predictive accuracy compared with the original pruning algorithms, and this speedup scheme is also extended to classification problem.展开更多

This algorithm was trained with 863 records of historical earthquakes, where the input regression parameters were an exponential function of the waveform envelope estimated by least squares and the maximum value of the observed waveform for each component in a single station. Ten-fold cross validation was applied for a normalized polynomial kernel obtaining the mean absolute error for different exponents and complexity parameters. The local magnitude（MI） could be estimated with 0.19 units of mean absolute error. The proposed algorithm is easy to implement in hardware and may be used directly after the field seismological sensor to generate fast decisions at seismological control centers, increasing the possibility of having an effective reaction.展开更多

To improve the design of BTRRC under continuous operation, the nonlinear dynamic reliability optimization of disk radial deformation was implemented based on extremum response surface method(ERSM), including ERSM-based quadratic function(QF-ERSM) and ERSM-based support vector machine of regression(SR-ERSM). The mathematical models of the two methods were established and the framework of reliability-based dynamic design optimization was developed. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed optimization methods have the promising potential in reducing additional design samples and improving computational efficiency with acceptable precision, in which the SR-ERSM emerges more obviously. Through the case study, we find that disk radial deformation is reduced by about 6.5×10–5 m; δ=1.31×10–3 m is optimal for turbine disk radial deformation design and the proposed methods are verified again. The presented efforts provide an effective optimization method for the nonlinear transient design of motion structures for further research, and enrich mechanical reliability design theory.展开更多

In contrast to cu...Adopting the regression SVM framework, this paper proposes a linguistically motivated feature engineering strategy to develop an MT evaluation metric with a better correlation with human assessments. In contrast to current practices of ＂greedy＂ combination of all available features, six features are suggested according to the human intuition for translation quality. Then the contribution of linguistic features is examined and analyzed via a hill-climbing strategy. Experiments indicate that, compared to either the SVM-ranking model or the previous attempts on exhaustive linguistic features, the regression SVM model with six linguistic information based features generalizes across different datasets better, and augmenting these linguistic features with proper non-linguistic metrics can achieve additional improvements.展开更多

However, BD is often missing from soil databases because its direct measurement is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and sometimes impractical, particularly on a large scale. Therefore, pedotransfer functions(PTFs) have been developed over several decades to predict BD. Here, six previously revised PTFs(including five basic functions and stepwise multiple linear regression(SMLR)) and two new PTFs, partial least squares regression(PLSR) and support vector machine regression(SVMR), were used to develop BD-predicting PTFs for coastal soils in East China. Predictor variables included soil organic carbon(SOC) and particle size distribution(PSD). To compare the robustness and reliability of the PTFs used, the calibration and prediction processes were performed 1 000 times using the calibration and validation sets divided by a random sampling algorithm. The results showed that SOC was the most important predictor, and the revised PTFs performed reasonably although only SOC was included. The PSD data were useful for a better prediction of BD, and sand and clay fractions were the second and third most important properties for predicting BD. Compared to the other PTFs, the PLSR was shown to be slightly better for the study area(the average adjusted coefficient of determination for prediction was 0.581). These results suggest that PLSR with SOC and PSD data can be used to fill in the missing BD data in coastal soil databases and provide important information to estimate coastal carbon storage, which will further improve our understanding of sea-land interactions under the conditions of ongoing global warming.展开更多

Conventional analyses of SOM are expensive and time consuming. Hyperspectral remote sensing is an alternative approach for SOM estimation. In this study, the diffuse reflectance spectra of soil samples from Qixia City, the Shandong Peninsula, China, were measured with an ASD FieldSpec 3 portable object spectrometer (Analytical Spectral Devices Inc., Boulder, USA). Raw spectral reflectance data were transformed using four methods: nine points weighted moving average (NWMA), NWMA with first derivative (NWMA + FD), NWMA with standard normal variate (NWMA + SNV), and NWMA with min-max standardization (NWMA + MS). These data were analyzed and correlated with SOM content. The evaluation model was established using support vector machine regression (SVM) with sensitive wavelengths. The results showed that NWMA + FD was the best of the four pretreatment methods. The sensitive wavelengths based on NWMA + FD were 917, 991, 1 007, 1 996, and 2 267 nm. The SVM model established with the above-mentioned five sensitive wavelengths was significant ( R 2 = 0.875, root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.107 g kg −1 for calibration set;R 2 = 0.853, RMSE = 0.097 g kg −1 for validation set). The results indicate that hyperspectral remote sensing can quickly and accurately predict SOM content in the brown forest soil areas of the Shandong Peninsula. This is a novel approach for rapid monitoring and accurate diagnosis of brown forest soil nutrients.展开更多

文摘Forecasting stock market movements is a challenging task from the practitioners’point of view.We explore how model selection via the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)approach can be better used to forecast stock closing prices using real-world datasets of daily stock closing prices of three major international airlines.Combining the LASSO method with multiple external data sources in our model leads to a robust and efficient method to predict stock behavior.We also compare our approach with ridge,tree,and support vector machine regressions,as well as neural network approaches to model the data.We include lags of each external variable and response variable in the model,resulting in a total of 870 predictor variables.The empirical results indicate that the LASSO-fitted model is the most effective when compared to other approaches we consider.The results show that the closing price of an airline stock is affected by its closing price for the previous days and those of other types of airlines and is significantly correlated with the Shanghai Composite Index for the previous day and 3 days prior.Other influencing factors include the positive impact of the Shanghai Composite Index daily share volume,the negative impact of loan interest rates,the amount of highway passenger and railway freight turnover,etc.

文摘Adopting the regression SVM framework, this paper proposes a linguistically motivated feature engineering strategy to develop an MT evaluation metric with a better correlation with human assessments. In contrast to current practices of ＂greedy＂ combination of all available features, six features are suggested according to the human intuition for translation quality. Then the contribution of linguistic features is examined and analyzed via a hill-climbing strategy. Experiments indicate that, compared to either the SVM-ranking model or the previous attempts on exhaustive linguistic features, the regression SVM model with six linguistic information based features generalizes across different datasets better, and augmenting these linguistic features with proper non-linguistic metrics can achieve additional improvements.

文摘Soil bulk density(BD) is an important physical property and an essential factor for weight-to-volume conversion. However, BD is often missing from soil databases because its direct measurement is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and sometimes impractical, particularly on a large scale. Therefore, pedotransfer functions(PTFs) have been developed over several decades to predict BD. Here, six previously revised PTFs(including five basic functions and stepwise multiple linear regression(SMLR)) and two new PTFs, partial least squares regression(PLSR) and support vector machine regression(SVMR), were used to develop BD-predicting PTFs for coastal soils in East China. Predictor variables included soil organic carbon(SOC) and particle size distribution(PSD). To compare the robustness and reliability of the PTFs used, the calibration and prediction processes were performed 1 000 times using the calibration and validation sets divided by a random sampling algorithm. The results showed that SOC was the most important predictor, and the revised PTFs performed reasonably although only SOC was included. The PSD data were useful for a better prediction of BD, and sand and clay fractions were the second and third most important properties for predicting BD. Compared to the other PTFs, the PLSR was shown to be slightly better for the study area(the average adjusted coefficient of determination for prediction was 0.581). These results suggest that PLSR with SOC and PSD data can be used to fill in the missing BD data in coastal soil databases and provide important information to estimate coastal carbon storage, which will further improve our understanding of sea-land interactions under the conditions of ongoing global warming.

文摘Soil organic matter (SOM) is important for plant growth and production. Conventional analyses of SOM are expensive and time consuming. Hyperspectral remote sensing is an alternative approach for SOM estimation. In this study, the diffuse reflectance spectra of soil samples from Qixia City, the Shandong Peninsula, China, were measured with an ASD FieldSpec 3 portable object spectrometer (Analytical Spectral Devices Inc., Boulder, USA). Raw spectral reflectance data were transformed using four methods: nine points weighted moving average (NWMA), NWMA with first derivative (NWMA + FD), NWMA with standard normal variate (NWMA + SNV), and NWMA with min-max standardization (NWMA + MS). These data were analyzed and correlated with SOM content. The evaluation model was established using support vector machine regression (SVM) with sensitive wavelengths. The results showed that NWMA + FD was the best of the four pretreatment methods. The sensitive wavelengths based on NWMA + FD were 917, 991, 1 007, 1 996, and 2 267 nm. The SVM model established with the above-mentioned five sensitive wavelengths was significant ( R 2 = 0.875, root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.107 g kg −1 for calibration set;R 2 = 0.853, RMSE = 0.097 g kg −1 for validation set). The results indicate that hyperspectral remote sensing can quickly and accurately predict SOM content in the brown forest soil areas of the Shandong Peninsula. This is a novel approach for rapid monitoring and accurate diagnosis of brown forest soil nutrients.
