A fuzzy classifier system framework is proposed which employs a tree-based representation for fuzzy rule (classifier) antecedents and genetic programming for fuzzy rule discovery. Such a rule representation is employed because of the expressive power and generality it endows to individual rules. The framework proposes accuracy-based fitness for individual fuzzy classifiers and employs evolution...

Fuzzy association rule mining (Fuzzy ARM) uses fuzzy logic to generate interesting association rules. These association relationships can help in decision making for the solution of a given problem. Fuzzy ARM is a variant of classical association rule mining. Classical association rule mining uses the concept of crisp sets. Because of this reason classical association rule mining has several dr...

Some difficulties emerging during the construction of fuzzy rule bases are inherited from the type of the applied fuzzy reasoning. In fuzzy systems, when classical methods (e.g. the Compositional Rule of Inference) are applied, the completeness of the fuzzy rule base is required to generate meaningful output. This means, that the fuzzy rule base has to cover all possible inputs. The way of buil...

In this paper, we present an evolutionary multiobjective learning model achieving positive synergy between the Inference System and the Rule Base in order to obtain simpler, more compact and still accurate linguistic fuzzy models by learning fuzzy inference operators together with Rule Base. The Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm proposed generates a set of Fuzzy Rule Based Systems with diff...

The present article is a novel attempt in providing an exhaustive survey of neuro-fuzzy rule generation algorithms. Rule generation from artificial neural networks is gaining in popularity in recent times due to its capability of providing some insight to the user about the symbolic knowledge embedded within the network. Fuzzy sets are an aid in providing this information in a more human compre...

This paper presents a layer-structured fuzzy neural network (FNN) for learning rules of fuzzy-logic control systems. Initially, FNN is constructed to contain all the possible fuzzy rules. We propose a two-phase learning procedure for this network. The first phase is a error-backprop (EBP) training, and the second phase is a rule pruning. Since some functions of the nodes in the FNN have the com...

In this paper a linearized Heffron-Philips model of a Single Machine Infinite Bus power system with a Fuzzy Logic Power System Stablizer (PSS) is developed. The designed fuzzy-based PSS adjusts two inputs by appropriately processing of the input angular speed and angular acceleration signal, and provides an efficient damping. The behavior of the SMIB system with & without PSS has been compared/...
