Outlier Detection from Network Data with Subnetwork Interpretation
Detecting a small number of outliers from a set of data observations is
always challenging. This problem is more difficult in the setting of multiple
network samples, where computing the anomalous degree of a network sample is
generally not sufficient. In fact, explaining why the network is exceptional,
expressed in the form of subnetwork, is also equally important. In this paper,
we develop a novel algorithm to address these two key problems. We treat each
network sample as a potential outlier and identify subnetworks that mostly
discriminate it from nearby regular samples. The algorithm is developed in the
framework of network regression combined with the constraints on both network
topology and L1-norm shrinkage to perform subnetwork discovery. Our method thus
goes beyond subspace/subgraph discovery and we show that it converges to a
global optimum. Evaluation on various real-world network datasets demonstrates
that our algorithm not only outperforms baselines in both network and high
dimensional setting, but also discovers highly relevant and interpretable local
subnetworks, further enhancing our understanding of anomalous networks
A Divide-and-Conquer Solver for Kernel Support Vector Machines
The kernel support vector machine (SVM) is one of the most widely used
classification methods; however, the amount of computation required becomes the
bottleneck when facing millions of samples. In this paper, we propose and
analyze a novel divide-and-conquer solver for kernel SVMs (DC-SVM). In the
division step, we partition the kernel SVM problem into smaller subproblems by
clustering the data, so that each subproblem can be solved independently and
efficiently. We show theoretically that the support vectors identified by the
subproblem solution are likely to be support vectors of the entire kernel SVM
problem, provided that the problem is partitioned appropriately by kernel
clustering. In the conquer step, the local solutions from the subproblems are
used to initialize a global coordinate descent solver, which converges quickly
as suggested by our analysis. By extending this idea, we develop a multilevel
Divide-and-Conquer SVM algorithm with adaptive clustering and early prediction
strategy, which outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of training
speed, testing accuracy, and memory usage. As an example, on the covtype
dataset with half-a-million samples, DC-SVM is 7 times faster than LIBSVM in
obtaining the exact SVM solution (to within relative error) which
achieves 96.15% prediction accuracy. Moreover, with our proposed early
prediction strategy, DC-SVM achieves about 96% accuracy in only 12 minutes,
which is more than 100 times faster than LIBSVM
Comparative Study on modeling Efficiency Between Support Vector Machines (SVMs) model and Parallel OBF-NN model
This project is about the comparative study between model efficiency between support vector machine (SVM) and parallel OBF-NN model. To demonstrate the concept, basic support vector regression (SVR) model is developed as nonlinear model identification. Best parameter and option for SVR model is selected in order to construct optimum model performance. The study is developed using selected case study, which is using van de vusse reactor datasets. The data consist of input and output than applicable to perform simulation as training and validation data. Lastly, an OBF-SVR model is developed that use OBF model as linear part and SVR model as nonlinear part align in parallel. The performance of each developed model is tested in their performance in validation to approach real system value. The developed OBF-SVR model is compared with OBF-NN model and the deviation between each model is investigated
