Abstract (Summary of the Work)

In this dissertation first we critically review the Support Vector Machine for both two-class and multiclass problems. There have been a few attempts to deal with multiclass problems. Our analysis of a number of such methods revealed several problems associated with them. We then proposed six new methods. Three of proposed methods are modification of some existing methods, while three methods involve reformulation of Support Vector Machine. In this context we introduce a novel concept of utility of training points, which make Support Vector Machine less sensitive to outliers. We also introduce a new concept of optimal hyper-sphere to design a Support Vector Machine type of classifiers. All methods are theoretically formulated illustrated using the suitable datasets.
