Classification of a Target Analyte in Solid Mixtures using Principal Component Analysis, Support Vector Machines and Raman Spectroscopy
Madden, Michael G.; Leger, Marc N.; Ryder, Alan G.; Howley, Tom; O Connell, Marie-Louise (2005)The quantitative analysis of illicit materials using Raman spectroscopy is of widespread interest for law enforcement and healthcare applications. One of the difficulties faced when analysing illicit mixtures is the ... -
The Effect of Principal Component Analysis on Machine Learning Accuracy with High Dimensional Spectral Data
Ryder, Alan G.; O Connell, Marie-Louise; Madden, Michael G.; Howley, Tom (2005)The classi¿cation of high dimensional data, such as images, gene-expression data and spectral data, poses an interesting challenge to machine learning, as the presence of high numbers of redundant or highly correlated ... -
The Evolution of a Kernel-Based Distance Metric for k-NN Regression
Madden, Michael G.; Howley, Tom (2007)k-Nearest Neighbours (k-NN) is a well understood and widely-used approach to classification and regression problems. In many cases, such applications of k-NN employ the standard Euclidean distance metric for the determination ... -
An evolutionary approach to automatic kernel construction
Madden, Michael G.; Howley, Tom (2006)Abstract. Kernel-based learning presents a unified approach to machine learning problems such as classification and regression. The selection of a kernel and associated parameters is a critical step in the application of ... -
The Genetic Evolution of Kernels for Support Vector Machine Classifiers
Madden, Michael G.; Howley, Tom (2004)Abstract. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) has emerged in recent years as a popular approach to the classi¿cation of data. One problem that faces the user of an SVM is how to choose a kernel and the speci¿c parameters for ... -
A Machine Learning Application for Classification of Chemical Spectra
Madden, Michael G.; Howley, Tom (2008)This paper presents a software package that allows chemists to analyze spectroscopy data using innovative machine learning (ML) techniques. The package, designed for use in conjunction with lab-based spectroscopic ...
