A structure learning method for concise fuzzy systems

This paper presents a structure learning method for fuzzy systems following our previous work on a Structure Evolving Learning Method for Fuzzy Systems (SELM) and an Evolving Construction Scheme for Fuzzy Systems (ECSFS). Here we extend our previous work to a structure learning method for fuzzy systems which results in more concise systems. We analyse and compare the proposed concise structure learning strategies in terms of three aspects: (1) how to detect the splitting points for the structure learning process; (2) how to set a starting point for the fuzzy system; (3) how the proposed method is applied to Mamdani and TS fuzzy systems.
