Abstract

We propose new support vector machines (SVMs) that incorporate the geometric distribution of an input data set by associating each data point with a possibilistic membership, which measures the relative strength of the self class membership. By using a possibilistic distance measure based on the possibilistic membership, we reformulate conventional SVMs in three ways. The proposed methods are shown to have better classification performance than conventional SVMs in various tests.
