Incremental learning refers to the learning of new information iteratively without having to fully retain the classifier. However, a single classifier cannot realize incremental learning if the classification problem is too complex and scalable. To solve the problem, this paper combines the incremental support vector machine (ISVM) and the incremental neural network Learn++ into a novel incremental learning algorithm called the ISVM-Learn++. The two incremental classifiers were merged by parallel combination and weighted sum combination. The proposed algorithm was tested on three datasets, namely, three databases Ionosphere, Haberman's Survival, and Blood Transfusion Service Center. The results show that the ISVM-Learn ++ achieved a learning rate of 98 %, better than that of traditional incremental learning algorithms. The research findings shed new light on incremental supervised machine learning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
