PhD Research:
Support Vector Machines are a set of related supervised learning methods used widely for classification and regression problems. Kernel methods are learning systems which mapping nonlinear of the input data into linearly high dimensional feature spaces. The mapping feature is implemented via kernel functions which act as a dot product in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Evolutionary algorithms have a promising result to draw a finest model selection for SVM. This generalization trick is implemented by substituting a kernel function for the dot products. This technique is useful whenever the kernel functions represent similarity between classification and regression data for more efficiency and high performances.
The main aims of this research is to develop new methods to solve problems in:
- Classification
- Regression
- Kernel function
- Model selection
