Association rules shows us interesting associations among data items. It means that an association rule clearly defines that how a data item is related or associated with another data item. That is why these types of rules are called Association rules. And the procedure by which these rules are extracted and managed is known as Association rule mining. Classical association rule mining had many...

The paper presents a new approach to the automatic data-based generation of fuzzy rules. This is based on a tree-oriented rule induction algorithm and rule pruning. The hypothesis generation applies a set of measures for evaluation of fuzzy rules with respect to approximation quality, importance, clearness etc. In order to improve exibility and interpretability linguistic hedges are used to cre...

Fuzzy inference systems (FIS) are widely used for process simulation or control. They can be designed either from expert knowledge or from data. For complex systems, FIS based on expert knowledge only may suffer from a loss of accuracy. This is the main incentive for using fuzzy rules inferred from data. Designing a FIS from data can be decomposed into two main phases: automatic rule generation...

A fuzzy rule-based classification system (FRBCS) is one of the most popular approaches used in pattern classification problems. One advantage of a fuzzy rule-based system is its interpretability. However, we're faced with some challenges when generating the rule-base. In high dimensional problems, we can not generate every possible rule with respect to all antecedent combinations. In this paper...

This paper presents a hybrid approach of automatic fuzzy rule generation for on-line handwriting recognition. The fuzzy rules contain the feature information extracted from a given prototype data set. The fuzzy statistical measures and neural networks are used to select the associative features from the input symbols. The final decision is enhanced through additional combination with expert’s k...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel two-stage model for promoting the effect of rule generation based on rough set. In order to improve traditional rough set method, the novel two-stage model adopts new kernel intuitionistic fuzzy clustering (KIFCM) to promote performance of rough set theory. Moreover, the e-learning customer data set in Taiwan is also examined for demonst...

This paper proposes a neural network for building and optimizing fuzzy models. The network can be regarded both as an adaptive fuzzy inference system with the capability of learning fuzzy rules from data, and as a connectionist architecture provided with linguistic meaning. Fuzzy rules are extracted from training examples by a hybrid learning scheme comprised of two phases: rule generation phas...

Fact Gathering means generating rule base from available numerical data or data base. The intelligence of a fuzzy system lies in its rule base. Generating rule base is one of the most important and difficult tasks when designing fuzzy systems. Various rule base generation methods are used such as Neural networks, genetic algorithms, biogeography based optimization approach, ant colony optimizat...

An automatic method to generate fuzzy rules and their membership functions to recognize handwritten characters is described. Firstly an initial rule base is created on the basis of a referential data set containing handwriting prototypes. Subsequently the classification behavior of the fuzzy rules is optimized with a genetic algorithm, which is regarded as a typical solution to NP-complete prob...
