In this paper we done a comparison between a Neural Network model and a Support Vector Machine model adapted to predict the exchange rate EUR-LEU. We emphasize the strengths and weakness of these two Artificial Intelligence paradigms and we compare the results of prediction obtained with those...

The objective of this study was to consider the efficiency of support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) for the classification and prediction of groundwater quality using a small data record in Malayer, Iran. For this purpose, 14 groundwater quality variables that had been...

Abstract This paper proposes a rating methodology that is based on a non-linear classification method, a support vector machine, and a non-parametric isotonic regression for mapping rating scores into probabilities of default. We also propose a four data set model validation and training...
