【 摘 要 】

Multiclass contour-preserving classification (MCOV) has been used to preserve the contour of the data set and improve the classification accuracy of a feed-forward neural network. It synthesizes two types of new instances, called fundamental multiclass outpost vector (FMCOV) and additional multiclass outpost vector (AMCOV), in the middle of the decision boundary between consecutive classes of data. This paper presents a comparison on the generalization of an inclusion of FMCOVs, AMCOVs, and both MCOVs on the final training sets with support vector machine (SVM). The experiments were carried out using MATLAB R2015a and LIBSVM v3.20 on seven types of the final training sets generated from each of the synthetic and real-world data sets from the University of California Irvine machine learning repository and the ELENA project. The experimental results confirm that an inclusion of FMCOVs on the final training sets having raw data can improve the SVM classification accuracy significantly.
