This paper describes how to use a posture sensor to validate human daily activity and by machine learning algorithm - Support Vector Machine (SVM) an outstanding model is built. The optimal parameter σ and c of RBF kernel SVM were obtained by searching automatically. Those kinematic data was carried out through three major steps: wavelet transformation, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) -based dimensionality reduction and k-fold cross-validation, followed by implementing a best classifier to distinguish 6 difference actions. As an activity classifier, the SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm is used, and we have achieved over 94.5% of mean accuracy in detecting differential actions. It shows that the verification approach based on the recognition of human activity detection is valuable and will be further explored in the near future.

One single machine learning algorithm presents shortcomings when the data environment changes in the process of application. This article puts forward a heteromorphic ensemble learning model made up of bayes, support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree which classifies P2P traffic by voting principle. The experiment shows that the model can significantly improve the classification accuracy, and has a good stability.

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.


In agriculture the major problem is leaf disease identifying these disease in early stage increases the yield. To reduce the loss identifying the various disease is very important. In this work , an efficient technique for identifying unhealthy tomato leaves using a machine learning algorithm is proposed. Support Vector Machines (SVM) is the methodology of machine learning , and have been successfully applied to a number of applications to identify region of interest, classify the region. The proposed algorithm has three main staggers, namely preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. In preprocessing, the images are converted to RGB and the average filter is used to eliminate the noise in the input image. After the pre-processing stage, features such as texture, color and shape are extracted from each image. Then, the extracted features are presented to the classifier to classify an input tomato leaf as a healthy or unhealthy image. For classification, in this paper, a multi-kernel support vector machine (MKSVM) is used. The performance of the proposed method is analysed on the basis of different metrics, such as accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The images used in the test are collected from the plant village. The proposed method implemented in MATLAB.

Existing accelerometer-based human activity recognition (HAR) benchmark datasets that were recorded during free living suffer from non-fixed sensor placement, the usage of only one sensor, and unreliable annotations. We make two contributions in this work. First, we present the publicly available Human Activity Recognition Trondheim dataset (HARTH). Twenty-two participants were recorded for 90 to 120 min during their regular working hours using two three-axial accelerometers, attached to the thigh and lower back, and a chest-mounted camera. Experts annotated the data independently using the camera’s video signal and achieved high inter-rater agreement (Fleiss’ Kappa =0.96). They labeled twelve activities. The second contribution of this paper is the training of seven different baseline machine learning models for HAR on our dataset. We used a support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, random forest, extreme gradient boost, convolutional neural network, bidirectional long short-term memory, and convolutional neural network with multi-resolution blocks. The support vector machine achieved the best results with an F1-score of 0.81 (standard deviation: ±0.18), recall of 0.85±0.13, and precision of 0.79±0.22 in a leave-one-subject-out cross-validation. Our highly professional recordings and annotations provide a promising benchmark dataset for researchers to develop innovative machine learning approaches for precise HAR in free living.

Machine learning is a new analysis discipline that uses knowledge to boost learning, optimizing the training method and developing the atmosphere within which learning happens. There square measure 2 sorts of machine learning approaches like supervised and unsupervised approach that square measure accustomed extract the knowledge that helps the decision-makers in future to require correct intervention. This paper introduces an issue that influences students' tutorial performance prediction model that uses a supervised variety of machine learning algorithms like support vector machine , KNN(k-nearest neighbors), Naïve Bayes and supplying regression and logistic regression. The results supported by various algorithms are compared and it is shown that the support vector machine and Naïve Bayes performs well by achieving improved accuracy as compared to other algorithms. The final prediction model during this paper may have fairly high prediction accuracy .The objective is not just to predict future performance of students but also provide the best technique for finding the most impactful features that influence student’s while studying.

Today many schools, universities and institutions recognize the necessity and importance of using Learning Management Systems (LMS) as part of their educational services. This research work has applied LMS in the teaching and learning process of Bulacan State University (BulSU) Graduate School (GS) Program that enhances the face-to-face instruction with online components. The researchers uses an LMS that provides educators a platform that can motivate and engage students to new educational environment through manage online classes. The LMS allows educators to distribute information, manage learning materials, assignments, quizzes, and communications. Aside from the basic functions of the LMS, the researchers uses Machine Learning (ML) Algorithms applying Support Vector Machine (SVM) that will classify and identify the best related videos per topic. SVM is a supervised machine learning algorithm that analyzes data for classification and regression analysis by Maity [1]. The results of this study showed that integration of video tutorials in LMS can significantly contribute knowledge and skills in the learning process of the students.

Tremor is an involuntary quivering movement or shake. Characteristically occurring at rest, the classic slow, rhythmic tremor of Parkinson's disease (PD) typically starts in one hand, foot, or leg and can eventually affect both sides of the body. The resting tremor of PD can also occur in the jaw, chin, mouth, or tongue. Loss of dopamine leads to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and may include a tremor. For some people, a tremor might be the first symptom of PD. Various studies have proposed measurable technologies and the analysis of the characteristics of Parkinsonian tremors using different techniques. Various machine-learning algorithms such as a support vector machine (SVM) with three kernels, a discriminant analysis, a random forest, and a kNN algorithm are also used to classify and identify various kinds of tremors. This chapter focuses on an in-depth review on identification and classification of various Parkinsonian tremors using machine learning algorithms.
