Adaptive arrangement classifier via neuro-fuzzy modeling

A hybrid fuzzy-neuro classifier that extracts rules in terms of polyhedrons in the input space is proposed. The network uses a fuzzy disjunctive normal form in its hidden layer to effectively map polyhedral regions, which are gradually adjusted during learning, to category labels. The major advantage of the present method lies in that it is quite simple in architecture, every layer enjoys a clear fuzzy logical interpretation, and the number of rules needed is very few. The results of classification experiments are quite promising
