Genetic learning of fuzzy rule-based classification systems cooperating with fuzzy reasoning methods

In this paper, we present a multistage genetic learning process for obtaining linguistic fuzzy rule-based classification systems that integrates fuzzy reasoning methods cooperating with the fuzzy rule base and learns the best set of linguistic hedges for the linguistic variable terms. We show the application of the genetic learning process to two well known sample bases, and compare the results with those obtained from different learning algorithms. The results show the good behavior of the proposed method, which maintains the linguistic description of the fuzzy rules. Q 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
