COMPARISON OF SVM ALGORITHM AND BP ALGORITHM: STUDY ON THE EVALUATION INDEX SYSTEM OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PERFORMANCE OF VOCATIONAL COLLEGES

Abstract

As the education in China develops rapidly, the scientific research of higher vocational education has gradually drawn extensive attentions.  In order to construct a reasonable evaluation model of scientific research performance to further enhance the research enthusiasm of teachers, this study constructed a model based on relevant theories of the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm and the back propagation (BP) algorithm.  In addition, the simulation of the model was performed and the accuracy rate and errors of these two algorithms were compared and analyzed.  Then the most appropriate algorithm was applied to the evaluation index system.  The simulation results showed that, simplified data of scientific research evaluation could be applied as the input data of the SVM algorithm to accurately and effectively construct an evaluation index system of scientific research performances of vocational colleges.  Thus a more reasonable and accurate evaluation system was constructed.
