..., an on-line combined modular model for predicting the planar manoeuvring motion of a surface ship is presented based on least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM). The model consists of two modules. One is the parametric identification mechanism module with LS-SVM as the identifier. The other one...

... ABSTRACT: In this study, a machine learning technique is applied to predict earthquake induced liquefaction. This method is a fairly new pattern recognition tool known as a support vector machine (SVM). SVM has been successfully applied in many applications, but it is less widely applied...
