The effect of gamma value on support vector machine performance with different kernels

Currently, the support vector machine (SVM) regarded as one of supervised machine learning algorithm that provides analysis of data for classification and regression. This technique is implemented in many fields such as bioinformatics, face recognition, text and hypertext categorization, generalized predictive control and many other different areas. The performance of SVM is affected by some parameters, which are used in the training phase, and the settings of parameters can have a profound impact on the resulting engine’s implementation. This paper investigated the SVM performance based on value of gamma parameter with used kernels. It studied the impact of gamma value on (SVM) efficiency classifier using different kernels on various datasets descriptions. SVM classifier has been implemented by using Python. The kernel functions that have been investigated are polynomials, radial based function (RBF) and sigmoid. UC irvine machine learning repository is the source of all the used datasets. Generally, the results show uneven effect on the classification accuracy of three kernels on used datasets. The changing of the gamma value taking on consideration the used dataset influences polynomial and sigmoid kernels. While the performance of RBF kernel function is more stable with different values of gamma as its accuracy is slightly changed

Detection and segmentation the affected brain using ThingSpeak platform based on IoT cloud analysis

The world has accelerated around a new industrial revolution called the Internet of Things, as this technology is expected to enter all aspects of industrial life, commercial and civil applications. The Internet of Things stands for highly important applications in the world of medical applications, which is the access to linking all medical clinics in the world into a single network capable of analyzing patient data and presenting it to medical professionals anywhere in the world. One of the medical applications in the Internet of Things is the discovery of a healthy human brain. This work proposes a health care system based on medical image analysis processes in the programmable ThingSpeak platform using MATLAB built into the platform within the cloud. The analysis is done using the MATLAB program within the Windows operating system and then the analysis is performed within ThingSpeak platform. The analysis includes classification process by using SVM classifier linear kernel in which we achieved 99.4% classification rate as well as using RBF kernel, which achieved 98.6% classification accuracy in classifying infected brains from healthy ones and the work was supported by cross validation technology to ensure effective classification accuracy. The patient brain is segmented then the tumor segment is isolated, its area is calculated, and the tumor boundaries are found, based on the k-mean technique, to support the specialist doctor when performing the analysis process in the cloud environment. Through this work we achieved a match in the analysis processes within the local environment, and ThingSpeak platform environment by 100%, and in order to support our work, we have automated the analysis, visualization and data transfer processes within the cloud and MATLAB environment

Design of Electronic Nose System Using Gas Chromatography Principle and Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor

Most gases are odorless, colorless and also hazard to be sensed by the human olfactory system. Hence, an electronic nose system is required for the gas classification process. This study presents the design of electronic nose system using a combination of Gas Chromatography Column and a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW). The Gas Chromatography Column is a technique based on the compound partition at a certain temperature. Whereas, the SAW sensor works based on the resonant frequency change. In this study, gas samples including methanol, acetonitrile, and benzene are used for system performance measurement. Each gas sample generates a specific acoustic signal data in the form of a frequency change recorded by the SAW sensor. Then, the acoustic signal data is analyzed to obtain the acoustic features, i.e. the peak amplitude, the negative slope, the positive slope, and the length. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) method using the acoustic feature as its input parameters are applied to classify the gas sample. Radial Basis Function is used to build the optimal hyperplane model which devided into two processes i.e., the training process and the external validation process. According to the result performance, the training process has the accuracy of 98.7% and the external validation process has the accuracy of 93.3%. Our electronic nose system has the average sensitivity of 51.43 Hz/mL to sense the gas samples
