“…In the selection process of the model best fitted for the filtering task, we studied 5 typical classification models that are widely available in open-source packages: Support Vector Machine Classifier (SVC), Random Forest Ensemble Classifier (RFC), K-Nearest Neighbors Classifier (KNN), Gradient Boosting Classifier (GBC), and an Artificial Neural Network Classifier (ANN). The preliminary hypothesis (according to previously performed studies in [31]) assumed the best performance for ANN, therefore the training procedure was focused on achieving the best possible parameter tuning for this classifier. Also for this reason, in the next sections of the paper, the detailed simulation results are going to be shown only for ANN.…”
