In our previous papers, fuzzy model identification methods were discussed. The bacterial evolutionary algorithm for extracting fuzzy rule base from a training set was presented. The Levenberg–Marquardt method was also proposed for determining membership functions in fuzzy systems. The combination of the evolutionary and the gradient-based learning techniques is usually called memetic algorithm. In this paper, a new kind of memetic algorithm, the bacterial memetic algorithm, is introduced for fuzzy rule extraction. The paper presents how the bacterial evolutionary algorithm can be improved with the Levenberg–Marquardt technique. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
