Data Mining by Symbolic Fuzzy Classifiers and Genetic Programming

There are various techniques for data mining and data analysis. Data mining is very important in the information retrieval areas especially when the data amounts are very large. Among them, hybrid approaches combining two or more algorithms gain importance as the complexity and dimension of real world data sets grows. In this paper, we present an application of evolutionary-fuzzy classification technique for data mining, outline state of the art of related methods and draw future directions of the research. In the presented application, genetic programming was deployed to evolve a fuzzy classifier and an example of real world application was presented. Key-Words :-Data mining, fuzzy classifiers, genetic programming, application.
