Abstract: The generalization of Support Vector Machines (SVM) will decline when the training data sets get imbalanced distribution. A modification method of the optimal hyperplane based on average divergence ratio according to Fisher within-class scatter was proposed to solve the problem. The normal vector of the optimal hyperplane was got after SVM training. The Fisher within-class scatter was introduced to evaluate the distribution of the two classes. On this basis, the optimal hyperplane was modified by the ratio of the average distribution scatter that was obtained according to the number of samples. The experimental results on benchmarks data sets show that the proposed method improves the classification accuracy of the class with less training data, so as to improve the SVM's generalization.
