Abstract

In this paper, we discuss our work in progress towards a scalable hierarchical classification system for books using the Library of Congress subject hierarchy. We examine the characteristics of this domain which make the problem very challenging, and we look at several appropriate performance measurements. We show that both Hieron and Hierarchical Support Vector Machines perform moderately well.

Fast and efficient lung disease classification using hierarchical one-against-all support vector machine and cost-sensitive feature selection

To improve time and accuracy in differentiating diffuse interstitial lung disease for computer-aided quantification, we introduce a hierarchical support vector machine which selects a class by training a binary classifier at each node in a hierarchy, ...

SoICT '13: Proceedings of the 4th Symposium on Information and Communication Technology

Emotion classification from speech signal is an interesting subject of machine learning applications that can provide the emotional or psychological states from speakers. This implicit information is helpful for machine to understand human behavior in ...
TPMSVM: A novel twin parametric-margin support vector machine for pattern recognition

A novel twin parametric-margin support vector machine (TPMSVM) for classification is proposed in this paper. This TPMSVM, in the spirit of the twin support vector machine (TWSVM), determines indirectly the separating hyperplane through a pair of ...
