Credible Fuzzy Classification based Technique on Self Organized Features Maps and FRANT IC-RL

Handling uncertainty and vagueness in real world becomes a necessity for developing intelligent and efficient systems. Based on the credibility theory, a fuzzy clustering approach that improves the classification accuracy is targeted by this work. This paper introduces a design of an efficient set of fuzzy rules that are inferred by a hybrid model of SOFM (Self Organized Features Maps) and FRANTIC-SRL (Fuzzy Rules from ANT-Inspired Computation – Simultaneous Rule Learning). Self-Organized Features Maps cluster inputs using self-adaption techniques. They are useful in generating fuzzy membership functions for the subsets of the fuzzy variables. The generated fuzzy variables are ranked by means of the credibility measure wherever the weighted average of their confidence level is determined. FRANT IC-SRL builds the fuzzy classification rule set using the ranked credibility variables in a simultaneous process. Moreover, the whole fuzzy system is evaluated based on the credibility value. The details and limitations of the proposed model are illustrated. Also, the experimental results and a comparison with previous techniques in generating fuzzy classification rules from medical data sets are declared.
