Abstract

The ideas from fuzzy neural networks and support vector machine (SVM) are incorporated to make SVM classifiers perform better. The influence of the samples with high uncertainty can be decreased by employing the fuzzy membership to weigh the margin of each training vector. The linear separability, fuzzy margin, optimal hyperplane, generalization and soft fuzzy margin algorithms are discussed. A new optimization problem is obtained and SVM is then completely reformulated into a new fuzzy support vector machine (NFSVM). Moreover, the generation bound of NFSVM can be described. We also introduce the membership function in fuzzy neural networks to do some experiments. The results demonstrate that the proposed NFSVM can produce better results than regular SVM and Fuzzy Kernel Perceptron (FKP) in some real cases.
