Incremental and decremental fuzzy bounded twin support vector machine

摘要

In this paper, we present an incremental variant of the Twin Support Vector Machine (TWSVM) called Fuzzy Bounded Twin Support Vector Machine (FBTWSVM) to deal with large datasets and to learn from data streams. We combine the TWSVM with a fuzzy membership function, so that each input has a different contribution to each hyperplane in a binary classifier. To solve the pair of quadratic programming problems (QPPs), we use a dual coordinate descent algorithm with a shrinking strategy, and to obtain a robust classification with a fast training we propose the use of a Fourier Gaussian approximation function with our linear FBTWSVM. Inspired by the shrinking technique, the incremental algorithm re-utilizes part of the training method with some heuristics, while the decremental procedure is based on a scoring window. The FBTWSVM is also extended for multi-class problems by combining binary classifiers using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) approach. Moreover, we analyzed the theoretical foundation's properties of the proposed approach and its extension, and the experimental results on benchmark datasets indicate that the FBTWSVM has a fast training and retraining process while maintaining a robust classification performance.
