The main objective of site characterization is the prediction of in situ soil properties at any half-space point at a site based on limited tests. In this study, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been used to develop a three dimensional site characterization model for Bangalore, India based on large amount of Standard Penetration Test. SVM is a novel type of learning machine based on statistical learning theory, uses regression technique by introducing ε-insensitive loss function. The database consists of 766 boreholes, with more than 2700 field SPT values () spread over 220 sq km area of Bangalore. The model is applied for corrected () values. The three input variables (, , and , where , , and are the coordinates of the Bangalore) were used for the SVM model. The output of SVM was the data. The results presented in this paper clearly highlight that the SVM is a robust tool for site characterization. In this study, a sensitivity analysis of SVM parameters (σ, , and ε) has been also presented.

Support Vector Machine (SVM) model optimized by K-Fold cross-validation was built to predict and evaluate the degradation of concrete strength in a complicated marine environment. Meanwhile, several mathematical models, such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Decision Tree (DT), were also built and compared with SVM to determine which one could make the most accurate predictions. The material factors and environmental factors that influence the results were considered. The materials factors mainly involved the original concrete strength, the amount of cement replaced by fly ash and slag. The environmental factors consisted of the concentration of Mg2+, SO42-, Cl-, temperature and exposing time. It was concluded from the prediction results that the optimized SVM model appeared to perform better than other models in predicting the concrete strength. Based on SVM model, a simulation method of variables limitation was used to determine the sensitivity of various factors and the influence degree of these factors on the degradation of concrete strength.

For coal slurry pipeline blockage prediction problem, through the analysis of actual scene, it is determined that the pressure prediction from each measuring point is the premise of pipeline blockage prediction. Kernel function of support vector machine is introduced into extreme learning machine, the parameters are optimized by particle swarm algorithm, and blockage prediction method based on particle swarm optimization kernel function extreme learning machine (PSOKELM) is put forward. The actual test data from HuangLing coal gangue power plant are used for simulation experiments and compared with support vector machine prediction model optimized by particle swarm algorithm (PSOSVM) and kernel function extreme learning machine prediction model (KELM). The results prove that mean square error (MSE) for the prediction model based on PSOKELM is 0.0038 and the correlation coefficient is 0.9955, which is superior to prediction model based on PSOSVM in speed and accuracy and superior to KELM prediction model in accuracy.

Stress-strain relationship of geomaterials is important to numerical analysis in geotechnical engineering. It is difficult to be represented by conventional constitutive model accurately. Artificial neural network (ANN) has been proposed as a more effective approach to represent this complex and nonlinear relationship, but ANN itself still has some limitations that restrict the applicability of the method. In this paper, an alternative method, support vector machine (SVM), is proposed to simulate this type of complex constitutive relationship. The SVM model can overcome the limitations of ANN model while still processing the advantages over the traditional model. The application examples show that it is an effective and accurate modeling approach for stress-strain relationship representation for geomaterials.

Background: Shear strength of soil, the magnitude of shear stress that a soil can maintain, is an important factor in geotechnical engineering. Objective: The main objective of this study is dedicated to the development of a machine learning algorithm, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict the shear strength of soil based on 6 input variables such as clay content, moisture content, specific gravity, void ratio, liquid limit and plastic limit. Methods: An important number of experimental measurements, including more than 500 samples was gathered from the Long Phu 1 power plant project’s technical reports. The accuracy of the proposed SVM was evaluated using statistical indicators such as the coefficient of correlation (R), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) over a number of 200 simulations taking into account the random sampling effect. Finally, the most accurate SVM model was used to interpret the prediction results due to Partial Dependence Plots (PDP). Results: Validation results showed that SVM model performed well for prediction of soil shear strength (R = 0.9 to 0.95), and the moisture content, liquid limit and plastic limit were found as the three most affecting features to the prediction of soil shear strength. Conclusion: This study might help in quick and accurate prediction of soil shear strength for practical purposes in civil engineering.

This study evaluates the performance of a set of machine learning techniques in predicting the prognosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma using clinical factors and gene expression data. Analysed samples from 130 Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients included a small set of clinical variables and more than 54,000 gene features. Machine learning classifiers included three black-box algorithms ( k-nearest neighbour, Artificial Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine) and two methods based on intelligible rules (Decision Tree and the innovative Logic Learning Machine method). Support Vector Machine clearly outperformed any of the other methods. Among the two rule-based algorithms, Logic Learning Machine performed better and identified a set of simple intelligible rules based on a combination of clinical variables and gene expressions. Decision Tree identified a non-coding gene ( XIST) involved in the early phases of X chromosome inactivation that was overexpressed in females and in non-relapsed patients. XIST expression might be responsible for the better prognosis of female Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients.

INTISARITeknologi penginderaan jauh sangat baik dijadikan data pembuatan peta penggunaan lahan, karena kebutuhan pemetaan semakin tinggi terutama untuk mendeteksi perubahan penggunaan lahan terutama untuk penentuan luas area khususnya sawah di kabupaten Sleman. Untuk mendapatkan informasi luasan area sawah dari interpretasi citra landsat-8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) diperlukan metode khusus, terutama untuk pengolahan data citra penginderaan jauh secara digital. Salah satu metode pengolahan citra penginderaan jauh adalah metode Support Vector Machine (SVM). Metode SVM merupakan metode learning machine (Pembelajaran mesin) yang dapat mengklasifikasikan pola serta mengenali pola dari inputan atau contoh data yang diberikan dan juga termasuk ke dalam supervised learning. Hasil area sawah yang didapati dari citra Landsat 8 OLI dengan pengolahan metode SVM didapati berada di 18 kecamatan dala Kabupaten Sleman. Luasan tertinggi ada di kecamatan Ngaglik dengan 19,78 KM2 dan terendah di kecamatan Turi seluas 2,14 KM2. Nilai keseluruhan akurasi yang didapat untuk kelas lahan sawah dan area non sawah adalah adalah 53%.Kata kunci— Landsat-8 OLI, SVM, Data Citra, Geospasial, Luas Area Sawah ABSTRACTRemote sensing technology is very well used as a data for making land use maps, because mapping needs are increasingly high especially for detecting land use changes, especially for determining the area, especially rice fields in Sleman district. To get information about the area of the rice fields from the interpretation of Landsat-8 OLI (Operational Land Imager), special methods are needed, especially for processing remote sensing image data digitally. One method of processing remote sensing images is the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. The SVM method is a learning machine method that can classify patterns and recognize patterns from input or sample data provided and also includes supervised learning. The results of the rice field that were found from the Landsat 8 OLI image by processing the SVM method were found in 18 sub-districts in Sleman Regency. The highest area is in Ngaglik sub-district with 19.78 KM2 and the lowest in Turi sub-district is 2.14 KM2. The overall value of the accuracy obtained for the class of rice field and non-rice field is 53%.Kata kunci—  Landsat-8 OLI, SVM, Image Data, Geospatial, Area of Rice Fields
