Abstract

In this paper a new knowledge incorporation and rule extraction method in neural networks is presented. The rule form of an if-then type can be inserted into a neural network (NN) as knowledge of a problem. NN is then trained by using a set of training samples. In this case the structure learning algorithm with forgetting is used to generate a small-sized NN system. After the NN training, rules are extracted from it. The results of computer simulations show that this approach can generate obvious network architectures and as a result simple rules compared with conventional rule extraction methods.
