Boosting a Genetic Fuzzy Classifier
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new boosting algorithm for genetic learning of fuzzy classification rules. The method is based on the iterative rule learning approach to fuzzy rule base system design. The fuzzy rule base is built in an incremental fashion, in that the evolutionary algorithm extracts one fuzzy classifier rule at a time. The boosting mechanism reduces the weight of those training instances that are classified correctly by the new rule, such that the next iteration of the evolutionary algorithm focuses the search on those fuzzy rules that capture the currently uncovered or misclassified instances. The weight of a fuzzy rule reflects the relative strength the boosting algorithm assigns to the rule class when it aggregates the casted votes. The method is applied to the Wisconsin breast cancer diagnosis data set.

Comparing a genetic fuzzy and a neurofuzzy classifier for credit scoring
In this paper, we evaluate and contrast two fuzzy classifiers for credit scoring. The first classifier uses evolutionary optimisation and boosting whereas the second classifier is based on a fuzzy neural network. We show that, for the case at hand, the boosted genetic fuzzy classifier performs better than both the neurofuzzy classifier and the well-known C4.5 algorithm that we included as a ref...
متن کاملIntrusion detection by integrating boosting genetic fuzzy classifier and data mining criteria for rule pre-screening
The purpose of the work described in this paper is to provide an intelligent intrusion detection system (IIDS) that uses two of the most popular data mining tasks, namely classification and association rules mining together for predicting different behaviors in networked computers. To achieve this, we propose a method based on iterative rule learning using a fuzzy rule-based genetic classifier....
متن کامل‘Fuzzy’ vs ‘Non-fuzzy’ in Combining Classifiers Designed by Boosting
Boosting is recognized as one of the most successful techniques for generating classifier ensembles. Typically, the classifier outputs are combined by the weighted majority vote. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the advantages of some fuzzy combination methods for ensembles of classifiers designed by Boosting. We ran 2-fold cross-validation experiments on 6 benchmark data sets to com...

متن کاملSUBCLASS FUZZY-SVM CLASSIFIER AS AN EFFICIENT METHOD TO ENHANCE THE MASS DETECTION IN MAMMOGRAMS
This paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. In this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (ROI) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. The extracted features benefit from...
