RESUMO
The intuitionistic fuzzy twin support vector machine (IFTSVM) merges the idea of the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) with the twin support vector machine (TSVM), which can reduce the negative impact of noise and outliers. However, this technique is not suitable for multi-class and high-dimensional feature space problems. Furthermore, the computational complexity of IFTSVM is high because it uses the membership and non-membership functions to build a score function. We propose a new version of IFTSVM by using relative density information. This idea approximates the probability density distribution in multi-dimensional continuous space by computing the K-nearest-neighbor distance of each training sample. Then, we evaluate all the training points by a one-versus-one-versus-rest strategy to construct the k-class classification hyperplanes. A coordinate descent system is utilized to reduce the computational complexity of the training. The bootstrap technique with a 95 % confidence interval and Friedman test are conducted to quantify the significance of the performance improvements observed in numerical evaluations. Experiments on 24 benchmark datasets demonstrate the proposed method produces promising results as compared with other support vector machine models reported in the literature.
