Fuzzy Relation-Based PNNs with the Aid of IG and Symbolic Gene Type-Based Gas

摘要

In this paper, we propose a new design methodology of fuzzy-neural networks - Fuzzy Relation-based Polynomial Neural Networks (FRPNN) with symbolic genetic algorithms and Information Granules (IG). We have developed a design methodology based on symbolic genetic algorithms to find the optimal structure for fuzzy-neural networks that expanded from Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH). Such parameters as the number of input variables, the order of the polynomial, the number of membership functions, and a collection of the specific subset of input variables are optimized for topology of FRPNN with the aid of symbolic genetic optimization that has search capability to find the optimal solution on the solution space. The augmented and genetically developed FRPNN (gFRPNN) results in a structurally optimized structure and comes with a higher level of flexibility in comparison to the one we encounter in the conventional FRPNNs. The GA-based design procedure being applied at each layer of FRPNN leads to the selection of the most suitable nodes (or FRPNs) available within the FRPNN. The performance of genetically optimized FRPNN (gFRPNN) is quantified through experimentation where we use a number of modeling benchmarks data which are already experimented with in fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling.
