Granular computing has advantage of knowledge discovery for complex data. In the paper, we present Fuzzy Granular Hyperplane Classifiers (FGHCs) for data classification from a new angle of Granular Computing. First, we introduce a fuzzy granular hyperplane concept by defining fuzzy granule, fuzzy granular vector, metrics and operators. Next, for binary classification problem, we present solving optimal fuzzy granular hyperplane through evolution strategy; the learning algorithm of parameters and the prediction algorithm of instances are also proposed. Finally, a multi-classification prediction model is designed by combining a set of Fuzzy Granular Hyperplane Classifiers based on vote strategy. In order to evaluate performance, we employed 10-fold cross validation to verify on UCI dataset and Alzheimer's Disease Voice dataset. Theoretical analysis and experiments demonstrated that FGHCs have good performance.
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.
