    Decision confidence-based multi-level support vector machines

    No full text
    Support vector machines (SVM) have been showing high accuracy of prediction in many applications. However, as any statistical learning algorithm, SVM's accuracy drops if some of the training points are contaminated by an unknown source of noise. The choice of clean training points is critical to avoid the overfitting problem which occurs generally when the model is excessively complex, which is reflected by a high accuracy over the training set and a low accuracy over the testing set (unseen points). In this paper we present a new multi-level SVM architecture that splits the training set into points that are labeled as 'easily classifiable' which do not cause an increase in the model complexity and 'non-easily classifiable' which are responsible for increasing the complexity. This method is used to create an SVM architecture that yields on average a higher accuracy than a traditional soft margin SVM trained with the same training set. The architecture is tested on the well known US postal handwritten digit recognition problem, the Wisconsin breast cancer dataset and on the agitation detection dataset. The results show an increase in the overall accuracy for the three datasets. Throughout this paper the word confidence is used to denote the confidence over the decision as commonly used in the literature. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

    Multi level SVM for subject independent agitation detection

    No full text
    The need to automate the detection of agitation for dementia patients is a major requirement for caregivers. This research aims at detecting the agitation status of the subjects using soft computing techniques that does not require supervision beyond the training phase. An autonomous multi-sensory device has been developed to achieve automatic assessment of agitation and to control stimulation that will reduce the agitation level automatically. The focus of this paper is the agitation detection algorithm. Three vital signs are monitored for agitation detection: the Heart Rate (HR) the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and Skin Temperature (ST). These measures are fed into a new SVM architecture: The Multi level SVM learning machine. Results show very high detection accuracy of agitation, quick adaptation to the subject and a strong correlation between the physiological signals monitored and the emotional states of the subjects. The result is a learning algorithm that is Subject-Independent. ©2009 IEEE.American Psychiatric Association, 1994, DIAGN STAT MAN MENT; CULTER NR, 1996, UNDERSTANDING ALZHEI, P65; FOOK VFS, 2007, E HLTH NETW APPL SER, P68; Kecman V., 2001, LEARNING SOFT COMPUT; Kistler A, 1998, INT J PSYCHOPHYSIOL, V29, P35, DOI 10.1016-S0167-8760(97)00087-1; LIAO WH, 2005, IEEE COMP SOC C, V3, P70; Murray DR, 2003, CHEST, V123, P664, DOI 10.1378-chest.123.3.664; ROD K, 2000, INT J PSYCHOPHYSIOL, V37, P121; Rosenblatt Adam, 2005, Cleve Clin J Med, V72 Suppl 3, pS3; SAKR GE, 2008, ADV INT MECH IEEE AS; Tamura T., 1997, P 19 ANN INT C IEEE, V3, P999, DOI 10.1109-IEMBS.1997.756513; TULEN JHM, 1989, PHARMACOL BIOCHEM BE, V32, P9, DOI 10.1016-0091-3057(89)90204-9; *US BUR CENS, 2006, 65 US; Vapnik V.N., STAT LEARNING THEORY; Zhai J., 2006, FLAIRS C, P39532
