Classifier based on support vector machine for JET plasma configurations

Rev Sci Instrum. 2008 Oct;79(10):10F326. doi: 10.1063/1.2972023.

Abstract

The last flux surface can be used to identify the plasma configuration of discharges. For automated recognition of JET configurations, a learning system based on support vector machines has been developed. Each configuration is described by 12 geometrical parameters. A multiclass system has been developed by means of the one-versus-the-rest approach. Results with eight simultaneous classes (plasma configurations) show a success rate close to 100%.
