SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE NETWORKS FOR MULTI-CLASS CLASSIFICATION

Frank Y. Shih, Kai Zhang · International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence · 2005

The support vector machine (SVM) has recently attracted growing interest in pattern classification due to its competitive performance. It was originally designed for two-class classification, and many researchers have been working on extensions to multiclass. In this paper, we present a new framework that adapts the SVM with neural networks and analyze the source of misclassification in guiding our preprocessing for optimization in multiclass classification. We perform experiments on the ORL database and the results show that our framework can achieve high recognition rates.
