Abstract

This paper proposes a learning method for Beta fuzzy systems (BFS) based on a multiagent genetic algorithm. This method, called Multi-Agent Genetic Algorithm for the Design of BFS has two advantages. First, thanks to genetic algorithms (GA) efficiency, it allows to design a suitable and precise model for BFS. Second, it improves the GA convergence by reducing rule complexity thanks to the distributed implementation by multi-agent approach. Dynamic agents interact to provide an optimal solution in order to obtain the best BFS reaching the balance interpretability-precision. The performance of the method is tested on a simulated example.
