This paper provides a methodology for detecting management fraud using basic financial data. The methodology is based on support vector machines. An important aspect therein is a kernel that increases the power of the learning machine by allowing an implicit and generally nonlinear mapping of...

We propose an exact method, based on Generalized Benders Decomposition, to select the best M features during induction. We provide details of the method and highlight some interesting parallels between the technique proposed here and some of those published in the literature. We also propose a...

We propose using support vector machines (SVMs) to learn the efficient set in multiple objective discrete optimization (MODO). We conjecture that a surface generated by SVM could provide a good approximation of the efficient set. As one way of testing this idea, we embed the SVM-approximated...
