Support Vector Machines

This course is designed to equip you with the theoretical and practical knowledge of Machine Learning as applied for geospatial analysis, namely Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing. By the end of the course, you will feel confident and completely understand the Machine Learning applications in GIS technology and how to use Machine Learning algorithms for various geospatial tasks, such as land use and land cover mapping (classifications) and object-based image analysis (segmentation). This course will also prepare you for using GIS with open source and free software tools. In the course, you will be able to apply such Machine Learning algorithms as Random Forest, Support Vector Machines and Decision Trees (and others) for classification of satellite imagery. On top of that, you will practice GIS by completing an entire GIS project by exploring the power of Machine Learning, cloud computing and Big Data analysis using Google Erath Engine for any geographic area in the world.

By Clare Liu, Data Scientist at fintech industry, based in HK. One of the most prevailing and exciting supervised learning models with associated learning algorithms that analyse data and recognise patterns is Support Vector Machines (SVMs). It is used for solving both regression and classification problems. However, it is mostly used in solving classification problems. SVMs were first introduced by B.E. Boser et al. in 1992 and has become popular due to success in handwritten digit recognition in 1994.

Every algorithm has its magic. The demand for data forced every data scientist to learn different algorithms. Most of the industries are deeply involved in Machine Learning and are interested in exploring different algorithms. Support Vector Machine is one such algorithm. It is considered as the black box technique as there are unknown parameters that are not so easy to interpret and assume how it works.

Learn the theoretical foundation for different techniques associated with supervised machine learning models. You'll develop a series of supervised learning models including decision tree, ensemble of trees (forest and gradient boosting), neural networks and support vector machines. Demonstrations and exercises will reinforce all the concepts and the analytical approach to solving business problems. A business case study will guide you through all steps of the analytical life cycle, from problem understanding to model deployment, through data preparation, feature selection, model training and validation, and model assessment.

Many tasks in speech processing involve classification of long term characteristics of a speech segment such as language, speaker, dialect, or topic. A natural technique for determining these characteristics is to first convert the input speech into a sequence of tokens such as words, phones, etc. From these tokens, we can then look for distinctive phrases, keywords, that characterize the speech. In many applications, a set of distinctive keywords may not be known a priori. In this case, an automatic method of building up keywords from short context units such as phones is desirable. We propose a method for construction of keywords based upon Support Vector Machines.

Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) is the problem of finding a reward function that generates a given optimal policy for a given Markov Decision Process. This paper looks at an algorithmic-independent geometric analysis of the IRL problem with finite states and actions. A L1-regularized Support Vector Machine formulation of the IRL problem motivated by the geometric analysis is then proposed with the basic objective of the inverse reinforcement problem in mind: to find a reward function that generates a specified optimal policy. The paper further analyzes the proposed formulation of inverse reinforcement learning with $n$ states and $k$ actions, and shows a sample complexity of $O(d 2 \log (nk))$ for transition probability matrices with at most $d$ non-zeros per row, for recovering a reward function that generates a policy that satisfies Bellman's optimality condition with respect to the true transition probabilities.

As in other fields of artificial intelligence and prior to the emergence of Deep Learning, especially deep neural networks, artificial vision research was focused on a traditional Machine Learning approach. The traditional machine learning approach relies on developers massaging the data to extract the most salient or significant aspects from the data they are dealing with; that is, time sequences of frames, or videos. In this case, both scientific research and application development have been centered around identifying the most significant image elements that would allow, for example, facial and body recognition of the people who appear in the images, tracking them from one frame to another, or classifying the vehicles that move through a given area. After extracting this meaningful data, statistical methods are then employed to transform the representation into a so-called "understanding" of the real visual environment by using clustering, support-vector machines (SVMs), and filtering algorithms (linear, non-linear, regression), among others. This means that the merits of any given application lie in how well researchers and developers are able to source and generate data from the raw processed frames and transform it into useful structured data.
