Abstract
BACKGROUND: Syndrome differentiation aims at dividing patients into several types according to their clinical symptoms and signs, which is essential for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Several previous works were devoted to employing the classical algorithms to classify the syndrome and achieved delightful results. However, the presence of ambiguous symptoms substantially disturbed the performance of syndrome differentiation, This disturbance is always due to the diversity and complexity of the patients' symptoms.
