Choosing Multiple Parameters for Support Vector Machines
TLDR
The problem of automatically tuning multiple parameters for pattern recognition Support Vector Machines (SVMs) is considered by minimizing some estimates of the generalization error of SVMs using a gradient descent algorithm over the set of parameters.Abstract:
The problem of automatically tuning multiple parameters for pattern recognition Support Vector Machines (SVMs) is considered. This is done by minimizing some estimates of the generalization error of SVMs using a gradient descent algorithm over the set of parameters. Usual methods for choosing parameters, based on exhaustive search become intractable as soon as the number of parameters exceeds two. Some experimental results assess the feasibility of our approach for a large number of parameters (more than 100) and demonstrate an improvement of generalization performance.read more

iCAP: An Individualized Model Combining Gaze Parameters and Image-Based Features to Predict Radiologists’ Decisions While Reading Mammograms
TL;DR: This study introduces an individualized tool for identifying mammogram interpretation errors, called eye-Computer Ass Perception (iCAP), which consists of two modules, one which processes areas marked by radiologists as suspicious for cancer and classifies these as False Positive or True Positive decisions, while the second module classifies fixated but not marked locations as False Negative or True-Negative decisions.
