Fuzzy kernel perceptron

A new learning method, the fuzzy kernel perceptron (FKP), in which the fuzzy perceptron (FP) and the Mercer kernels are incorporated, is proposed in this paper. The proposed method first maps the input data into a high-dimensional feature space using some implicit mapping functions. Then, the FP is adopted to find a linear separating hyperplane in the high-dimensional feature space. Compared with the FP, the FKP is more suitable for solving the linearly nonseparable problems. In addition, it is also more efficient than the kernel perceptron (KP). Experimental results show that the FKP has better classification performance than FP, KP, and the support vector machine.
