Interpretability Issues in Fuzzy Genetics-Based Machine Learning for Linguistic Modelling

چکیده
This chapter discusses several issues related to the design of linguistic models with high interpretability using fuzzy genetics-based machine learning (GBML) algorithms. We assume that a set of linguistic terms has been given for each variable. Thus our modelling task is to find a small number of fuzzy rules from possible combinations of the given linguistic terms. First we formulate a threeobjective optimization problem, which simultaneously minimizes the total squared error, the number of fuzzy rules, and the total rule length. Next we show how fuzzy GBML algorithms can be applied to our problem in the framework of multi-objective optimization as well as single-objective optimization. Then we point out a possibility that misleading fuzzy rules can be generated when general and specific fuzzy rules are simultaneously used in a single linguistic model. Finally we show that non-standard inclusion-based fuzzy reasoning removes such an undesirable possibility.

Analysis of interpretability-accuracy tradeoff of fuzzy systems by multiobjective fuzzy genetics-based machine learning
This paper examines the interpretability-accuracy tradeoff in fuzzy rule-based classifiers using a multiobjective fuzzy genetics-based machine learning (GBML) algorithm. Our GBML algorithm is a hybrid version of Michigan and Pittsburgh approaches, which is implemented in the framework of evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO). Each fuzzy rule is represented by its antecedent fuzzy sets ...

Granular Computing is an emerging conceptual and computational paradigm for information processing, which concerns representation and processing of complex information entities called “information granules” arising from processes of data abstraction and knowledge derivation. Within Granular Computing, a prominent position is assumed by the “Theory of Fuzzy Information Granulation” (TFIG) whose ...
متن کاملA Review on the Interpretability-Accuracy Trade-Off in Evolutionary Multi-Objective Fuzzy Systems (EMOFS)
Interpretability and accuracy are two important features of fuzzy systems which are conflicting in their nature. One can be improved at the cost of the other and this situation is identified as “Interpretability-Accuracy Trade-Off”. To deal with this trade-off Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEA) are frequently applied in the design of fuzzy systems. Several novel MOEA have been propo...

We propose an automatic methodology framework for shortand long-term prediction of time series by means of fuzzy inference systems. In this methodology, fuzzy techniques and statistical techniques for nonparametric residual variance estimation are combined in order to build autoregressive predictive models implemented as fuzzy inference systems. Nonparametric residual variance estimation plays ...
متن کاملImproving the Interpretability of Support Vector Machines-based Fuzzy Rules
Support vector machines (SVMs) and fuzzy rule systems are functionally equivalent under some conditions. Therefore, the learning algorithms developed in the field of support vector machines can be used to adapt the parameters of fuzzy systems. Extracting fuzzy models from support vector machines has the inherent advantage that the model does not need to determine the number of rules in advance....
