In this work, we describe SLAVE+R, a fuzzy rule learning system based on SLAVE that includes a reenement module. SLAVE (Structural Learning Algorithm in Vague Environment) was developed for working with noise-aaected systems where the application of some conditions of classical learning theory do not produce good descriptions. This learning system allows to obtain the structure of the rule, i.e...
