Abstract

A fast approach for automatically generating fuzzy rules from sample patterns using generalized dynamic fuzzy neural networks (GD-FNNs) is presented. The GD-FNN is built based on ellipsoidal basis functions and functionally is equivalent to a Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy system. The salient characteristics of the GD-FNN are: (1) structure identification and parameters estimation are performed automatically and simultaneously without partitioning input space and selecting initial parameters a priori; (2) fuzzy rules can be recruited or deleted dynamically; (3) fuzzy rules can be generated quickly without resorting to the backpropagation (BP) iteration learning, a common approach adopted by many existing methods. The GD-FNN is employed in a wide range of applications ranging from static function approximation and nonlinear system identification to time-varying drug delivery system and multilink robot control. Simulation results demonstrate that a compact and high-performance fuzzy rule-base can be constructed. Comprehensive comparisons with other latest approaches show that the proposed approach is superior in terms of learning efficiency and performance
