Fuzzy systems comprise one of the models best suited to function approximation problems, but due to the non linear dependencies between the parameters that define the system rules, the solution search space for this type of problems contains many local optima. Another important issue is the identification of the optimum structure for the fuzzy system. Depending on the complexity of the model, d...

Many approaches have been proposed for mining fuzzy association rules. The membership functions, which critically influence the final mining results, are difficult to define. In general, multiple criteria are considered when defining membership functions. In this paper, a multi-objective genetic-fuzzy mining algorithm is proposed for extracting membership functions and association rules from qu...
