Classification of Diabetes Mellitus using Modified Particle Swarm Optimization and Least Squares Support Vector Machine
May 03, 2014
Diabetes Mellitus is a major health problem all over the world. Many classification algorithms have been applied for its diagnoses and treatment. In this paper, a hybrid algorithm of Modified-Particle Swarm Optimization and Least Squares- Support Vector Machine is proposed for the classification of type II DM patients. LS-SVM algorithm is used for classification by finding optimal hyper-plane which separates various classes. Since LS-SVM is so sensitive to the changes of its parameter values, Modified-PSO algorithm is used as an optimization technique for LS-SVM parameters. This will Guarantee the robustness of the hybrid algorithm by searching for the optimal values for LS-SVM parameters. The pro-posed Algorithm is implemented and evaluated using Pima Indians Diabetes Data set from UCI repository of machine learning databases. It is also compared with different classifier algorithms which were applied on the same database. The experimental results showed the superiority of the proposed algorithm which could achieve an average classification accuracy of 97.833%.
A Network Intrusions Detection System based on a Quantum Bio Inspired Algorithm
May 03, 2014
Network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) have a role of identifying malicious activities by monitoring the behavior of networks. Due to the currently high volume of networks trafic in addition to the increased number of attacks and their dynamic properties, NIDSs have the challenge of improving their classification performance. Bio-Inspired Optimization Algorithms (BIOs) are used to automatically extract the the discrimination rules of normal or abnormal behavior to improve the classification accuracy and the detection ability of NIDS. A quantum vaccined immune clonal algorithm with the estimation of distribution algorithm (QVICA-with EDA) is proposed in this paper to build a new NIDS. The proposed algorithm is used as classification algorithm of the new NIDS where it is trained and tested using the KDD data set. Also, the new NIDS is compared with another detection system based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). Results shows the ability of the proposed algorithm of achieving high intrusions classification accuracy where the highest obtained accuracy is 94.8 %.

LSSVM-ABC Algorithm for Stock Price prediction
Feb 25, 2014
In this paper, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm which inspired from the behavior of honey bees swarm is presented. ABC is a stochastic population-based evolutionary algorithm for problem solving. ABC algorithm, which is considered one of the most recently swarm intelligent techniques, is proposed to optimize least square support vector machine (LSSVM) to predict the daily stock prices. The proposed model is based on the study of stocks historical data, technical indicators and optimizing LSSVM with ABC algorithm. ABC selects best free parameters combination for LSSVM to avoid over-fitting and local minima problems and improve prediction accuracy. LSSVM optimized by Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, LSSVM, and ANN techniques are used for comparison with proposed model. Proposed model tested with twenty datasets representing different sectors in S&P 500 stock market. Results presented in this paper show that the proposed model has fast convergence speed, and it also achieves better accuracy than compared techniques in most cases.
