In the paper titled Supervised Learning Algorithm: SVM with Advanced Kernel to classify Lower Back Pain, the authors Mittal Bhatt, Vishal Dahiya & Arvind Singh have introduced an approach to classify the condition of Spine and near disorders which can lead to Chronic Lower Back Pain using a kernel designed in Support Vector Machine. It is also shown that use of ANNs (Artificial Neural Network) are more reliable and accurate in the field of medical science as it simulates human behaviour and also possesses abilities of generalization and learning. Paper shows an Expert System which is made as an application of AI with a knowledge domain fed into it. This Expert System being interactive has roles like diagnosing, interpreting, predicting, and instructing is effective in medical sciences for classification of LBP. Author has emphasised on the fact that SVM finds the hyperplane which separates input elements with maximal margin in the n dimensional space by mapping training vectors product known as kernel function. For the efficient performance of SVM the choice of kernel function is very important and thus Author has discussed different kernel functions that can be used in SVM so as to make an effective Expert System. Different kernel functions include Polynomial Kernel Function, Gaussian Radial Basis Function, Exponential Radial Basis Function, Multi-Layer perceptron and made an SVM algorithm for them and applied on different datasets to compare accuracy. The newly designed weighted kernel function is then implemented on the same dataset which helps in knowing which attributes are important in classification of LBP more accurately which in turn will make the Expert system better and help medical practitioners to classify Lower back Pain easily.
