Abstract

This article introduces the fuzzy-system kernel machines-a class of machine learning models based on the connection between fuzzy inference systems and kernel machines. For the connection, we observed a relationship between the representer theorem of kernel methods and the functional representation of nonsingleton fuzzy systems. We found that the nonsingleton kernel on fuzzy sets-a kernel defined in this article-is the core element allowing this two-way connection perspective. Consequently, a fuzzy system trained with the kernel method can be regarded as a kernel machine, whereas a kernel machine trained with a nonsingleton kernel on fuzzy sets can be interpreted as a fuzzy system. We conducted several experiments in supervised classification to understand the generalization power and properties of the proposed fuzzy-system kernel machines. (AU)
