Abstract
In this paper, we present an improved approach integrating rules, neural networks and cases, compared to a previous one. The main approach integrates neurules and cases. Neurules are a kind of integrated rules that combine a symbolic (production rules) and a connectionist (adaline unit) representation. Each neurule is represented as an adaline unit. The main characteristics of neurules are that they improve the performance of symbolic rules and, in contrast to other hybrid neuro-symbolic approaches, they retain the modularity of production rules and their naturalness in a large degree. In the improved approach, various types of indices are assigned to cases according to different roles they play in neurule-based reasoning, instead of one. Thus, an enhanced knowledge representation scheme is derived resulting in accuracy improvement. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness.
