Review text

A key issue in building fuzzy classification systems is the specification of rule conditions, which determine the structure of a knowledge base. This paper presents a new approach to automatically extract classification knowledge from numerical data by means of premise learning. A genetic algorithm is employed to search for premise structure in combination with parameters of membership functions of input fuzzy sets to yield optimal conditions of classification rules. The major advantage of our work is that a parsimonious knowledge base with a low number of rules can be achieved. The practical applicability of the proposed method is examined by computer simulations on two well-known benchmark problems of Iris Data and Cancer Data classification.
