Evolutionary fuzzy modeling human diagnostic decisions.

چکیده
Fuzzy CoCo is a methodology, combining fuzzy logic and evolutionary computation, for constructing systems able to accurately predict the outcome of a human decision-making process, while providing an understandable explanation of the underlying reasoning. Fuzzy logic provides a formal framework for constructing systems exhibiting both good numeric performance (accuracy) and linguistic representation (interpretability). However, fuzzy modeling--meaning the construction of fuzzy systems--is an arduous task, demanding the identification of many parameters. To solve it, we use evolutionary computation techniques (specifically cooperative coevolution), which are widely used to search for adequate solutions in complex spaces. We have successfully applied the algorithm to model the decision processes involved in two breast cancer diagnostic problems, the WBCD problem and the Catalonia mammography interpretation problem, obtaining systems both of high performance and high interpretability. For the Catalonia problem, an evolved system was embedded within a Web-based tool-called COBRA-for aiding radiologists in mammography interpretation.

Combining Evolutionary and Fuzzy Techniques in Medical Diagnosis
In this chapter we focus on the Wisconsin breast cancer diagnosis (WBCD) problem, combining two methodologies—fuzzy systems and evolutionary algorithms—to automatically produce diagnostic systems. We present two hybrid approaches: (1) a fuzzy-genetic algorithm, and (2) Fuzzy CoCo, a novel cooperative coevolutionary approach to fuzzy modeling. Both methods produce systems exhibiting high classif...

متن کاملAn Approach to Reducing Overfitting in FCM with Evolutionary Optimization
Fuzzy clustering methods are conveniently employed in constructing a fuzzy model of a system, but they need to tune some parameters. In this research, FCM is chosen for fuzzy clustering. Parameters such as the number of clusters and the value of fuzzifier significantly influence the extent of generalization of the fuzzy model. These two parameters require tuning to reduce the overfitting in the...

متن کاملCompact fuzzy models through complexity reduction and evolutionary optimization
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and other evolutionary optimization methods to design fuzzy rules from data for systems modeling and classification have received much attention in recent literature. We show that different tools for modeling and complexity reduction can be favorably combined in a scheme with GA-based parameter optimization. Fuzzy clustering, rule reduction, rule base simplification and...
