Abstract

Neuro-fuzzy systems are used for modeling and classification thanks to their advantages such as interpretable knowledge and ability to learn from data. They are similar to neural networks but their design is structured depending on knowledge in the form of fuzzy rules. Final decision is inferred by fuzzy inference using triangular norms. The paper presents modular neuro-fuzzy systems based on parametric classes of generalized conjunction and disjunction operations. The proposed systems are better adjustable to data during learning. Part of this flexibility is achieved by the new operators what do not alter the original knowledge of fuzzy rules. The method described in the paper is tested on several known benchmarks.
