Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic provide tools for handling uncertainties in data mining tasks. To design a fuzzy rule-based classification system (fuzzy classifier) with good generalization ability in a high dimensional feature space has been an active research topic for a long time. As a powerful machine learning approach for data mining and pattern recognition problems, support vector machine (SVM) is known to have good generalization ability. More importantly, an SVM can work very well on a high (or even infinite) dimensional feature space. This chapter presents a survey of the connection between fuzzy classifiers and kernel machines. A significant portion of the chapter is built upon material from articles we have written, in particular (Chen and Wang, 2003a, Chen and Wang, 2003b).
