Fuzzy Classifiers are an powerful class of fuzzy systems. Evolving fuzzy classifiers from numerical data has assumed lot of remarks in the recent past. This paper proposes a method of evolving fuzzy classifiers using a three step technique. In the first step, a modified Fuzzy C–Means Clustering technique is applied to generate membership functions. In the next step, rule base are generated usin...

Genetic fuzzy rule selection is a two-phase classification rule mining method. First a large number of candidate fuzzy rules are generated by an association rule mining technique. Then only a small number of generated rules are selected by a genetic algorithm. We have already proposed an idea of parallel distributed implementation of genetic fuzzy rule selection. In this paper, we examine its c...

Fuzzy rule interpolation forms an important approach for performing inference with systems comprising sparse rule bases. Even when a given observation has no overlap with the antecedent values of any existing rules, fuzzy rule interpolation may still derive a useful conclusion. Unfortunately, very little of the existing work on fuzzy rule interpolation can conjunctively handle more than one for...

If the given fact for an antecedent in a fuzzy production rule (FPR) does not match exactly with the antecedent of the rule, the consequent can still be drawn by technique such as fuzzy reasoning. Many existing fuzzy reasoning methods are based on Zadeh’s Compositional rule of Inference (CRI) which requires setting up a fuzzy relation between the antecedent and the consequent part. There are so...

In fuzzy rule-based models acquired from numerical data, redundancy may be present in the form of similar fuzzy sets that represent compatible concepts. This results in an unnecessarily complex and less transparent linguistic description of the system. By using a measure of similarity, a rule base simplification method is proposed that reduces the number of fuzzy sets in the model. Similar fuzz...

In this paper, a hybrid Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) system for function approximation is presented. The proposed FNN can handle numeric and fuzzy inputs simultaneously. The numeric inputs are fuzzified by input nodes upon presentation to the network while the Fuzzy rule based knowledge is translated directly into network architecture. The connections between input to hidden nodes represent rule ...

A linear system is called a fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS) if quantities in this system are all fuzzy numbers. For the FFLS, we investigate its solution and develop a new approximate method for solving the FFLS. Observing the numerical results, we find that our method is accurate than the iterative Jacobi and GaussSeidel methods on approximating the solution of FFLS. Keywords—fully fuzzy line...

fuzzy decision tree (fdt) classifiers combine decision trees with approximate reasoning offered by fuzzy representation to deal with language and measurement uncertainties. when a fdt induction algorithm utilizes stopping criteria for early stopping of the tree's growth, threshold values of stopping criteria will control the number of nodes. finding a proper threshold value for a stopping crite...

In this paper, we examine the classification performance of fuzzy if-then rules selected by a GA-based multi-objective rule selection method. This rule selection method can be applied to high-dimensional pattern classification problems with many continuous attributes by restricting the number of antecedent conditions of each candidate fuzzy if-then rule. As candidate rules, we only use fuzzy if...
