Application of Support Vector Machine in TCM Diagnosis

The paper expounds the thinking, methodologies and characteristics about the technology of support vector machine which is applied in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis. The research shows that it is feasible to search syndrome factors decision-making model by using support vector machine. Nevertheless, to improve the accuracy level of search, further studies on such closely relevant subjects as specification of TCM glossary and on further convergence between computer science and TCM are crucial.
