Abstract: In order to improve the classification performance of the support vector machine (SVM) ensemble methods, a modified SVM ensemble method is put forward by using Choquet fuzzy integral other than Sugeno integral. The proposed method takes the output of every SVM component into account such that it overcomes the drawback of the existing SVM ensemble methods that neglect the secondary information. As an example, based on the data collected in Shandong Province, the proposed method is used to evaluate the performance of social service made by the colleges in the Province. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing SVM ensemble methods in the sense of classification performance.

Key words: Choquet fuzzy integral, support vector machine (SVM) ensemble, comprehensive appraisal
