Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to propose a Neuro-Fuzzy network, which can model a system from input–output data by automatically dividing the input–output space and extracting fuzzy if-then rules from numerical data. The structure of the network is simple with input, rule and output layers only. The connections between input and rule layer is used to derive the membership functions of the fuzzified part. Kohonen’s self-organizing learning algorithm is applied to partition the pattern space. Using this algorithm, similar rules are mapped close by and extraction of if-then rules is made easy. It can also adapt to a number of rules automatically. The proposed network is verified for three benchmark applications. Experimental results show that the adaptive method discussed in this paper not only trains in a few hundred iterations but also provides better performance measures when compared to conventional methods.
