Semi-supervised multi-Layer convolution kernel learning in credit evaluation

In many practical credit evaluation problems, a lot of manpower as well as financial and material resources are required to label samples. Therefore, in the process of labeling, only a small number of samples with category labels can be obtained to train classification models and a large number of customer samples is abandoned without category labels. To solve this problem, we introduce a semi-supervised support vector machine (SVM) technology and combines it with a multi-layer convolution kernel to construct a semi-supervised multi-layer convolution kernel SVM (SSMCK) for category customer credit assessment data sets. We first use a basic solution of the generalized differential operator to generate a base convolution kernel function in the H1 space, and then use the multi-layer strategy of deep learning to construct the multi-layer convolution kernel in the H2 and H3 space (called the family of multi-layer convolution kernel) by using the kernel functions in the H1 space. We further propose a semi-supervised multi-layer convolution kernel SVM algorithm based on the category center estimation and develop two novel SSMCK methods to improve the classification ability: the SSMCK based on multi-kernel learning (SSMCK-MKL) and the SSMCK based on alternative optimization (SSMCK-AO). Finally, experimental verification and analysis is carried out on three customer credit evaluation data sets. The results show that our methods outperforms or are comparable to some the state-of-the-art credit evaluation models.

An Online Semisupervised Learning Model for Pedestrians’ Crossing Intention Recognition of Connected Autonomous Vehicle Based on Mobile Edge Computing Applications

One of the major challenges that connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are facing today is driving in urban environments. To achieve this goal, CAVs need to have the ability to understand the crossing intention of pedestrians. However, for autonomous vehicles, it is quite challenging to understand pedestrians’ crossing intentions. Because the pedestrian is a very complex individual, their intention to cross the street is affected by the weather, the surrounding traffic environment, and even his own emotions. If the established street crossing intention recognition model cannot be updated in real time according to the diversity of samples, the efficiency of human‐machine interaction and the interaction safety will be greatly affected. Based on the above problems, this paper established a pedestrian crossing intention model based on the online semisupervised support vector machine algorithm (OS3VM). In order to verify the effectiveness of the model, this paper collects a large amount of pedestrian crossing data and vehicle movement data based on laser scanner, and determines the main feature components of the model input through feature extraction and principal component analysis (PCA). The comparison results of recognition accuracy of SVM, S3VM, and OS3VM indicate that the proposed OS3VM model exhibits a better ability to recognize pedestrian crossing intentions than the SVM and S3VM models, and the accuracy achieves 94.83%. Therefore, the OS3VM model can reduce the number of labeled samples for training the classifier and improve the recognition accuracy.

A semi-supervised support vector machine approach for parameter setting in motor imagery-based brain computer interfaces

Parameter setting plays an important role for improving the performance of a brain computer interface (BCI). Currently, parameters (e.g. channels and frequency band) are often manually selected. It is time-consuming and not easy to obtain an optimal combination of parameters for a BCI. In this paper, motor imagery-based BCIs are considered, in which channels and frequency band are key parameters. First, a semi-supervised support vector machine algorithm is proposed for automatically selecting a set of channels with given frequency band. Next, this algorithm is extended for joint channel-frequency selection. In this approach, both training data with labels and test data without labels are used for training a classifier. Hence it can be used in small training data case. Finally, our algorithms are applied to a BCI competition data set. Our data analysis results show that these algorithms are effective for selection of frequency band and channels when the training data set is small.

A self-training semi-supervised SVM algorithm and its application in an EEG-based brain computer interface speller system

In this paper, we first present a self-training semi-supervised support vector machine (SVM) algorithm and its corresponding model selection method, which are designed to train a classifier with small training data. Next, we prove the convergence of this algorithm. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of our algorithm with model selection. Finally, we apply our algorithm to a data set collected from a P300-based brain computer interface (BCI) speller. This algorithm is shown to be able to significantly reduce training effort of the P300-based BCI speller.

Joint feature re-extraction and classification using an iterative semi-supervised support vector machine algorithm

The focus of this paper is on joint feature re-extraction and classification in cases when the training data set is small. An iterative semi-supervised support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is proposed, where each iteration consists both feature re-extraction and classification, and the feature re-extraction is based on the classification results from the previous iteration. Feature extraction is first discussed in the framework of Rayleigh coefficient maximization. The effectiveness of common spatial pattern (CSP) feature, which is commonly used in Electroencephalogram (EEG) data analysis and EEG-based brain computer interfaces (BCIs), can be explained by Rayleigh coefficient maximization. Two other features are also defined using the Rayleigh coefficient. These features are effective for discriminating two classes with different means or different variances. If we extract features based on Rayleigh coefficient maximization, a large training data set with labels is required in general; otherwise, the extracted features are not reliable. Thus we present an iterative semi-supervised SVM algorithm embedded with feature re-extraction. This iterative algorithm can be used to extract these three features reliably and perform classification simultaneously in cases where the training data set is small. Each iteration is composed of two main steps: (i) the training data set is updated/augmented using unlabeled test data with their predicted labels; features are re-extracted based on the augmented training data set. (ii) The re-extracted features are classified by a standard SVM. Regarding parameter setting and model selection of our algorithm, we also propose a semi-supervised learning-based method using the Rayleigh coefficient, in which both training data and test data are used. This method is suitable when cross-validation model selection may not work for small training data set. Finally, the results of data analysis are presented to demonstrate the validity of our approach.
