Abstract

In this paper, a systematic multi-objective fuzzy
modeling approach is proposed, which can be regarded
as a three-stage modeling procedure. In the first stage, an
evolutionary based clustering algorithm is developed to
extract an initial fuzzy rule base from the data. Based on
this model, a back-propagation algorithm with momentum
terms is used to refine the initial fuzzy model. The refined
model is then used to seed the initial population of an
immune inspired multi-objective optimization algorithm
in the third stage to obtain a set of fuzzy models with
improved transparency. To tackle the problem of
simultaneously optimizing the structure and parameters, a
variable length coding scheme is adopted to improve the
efficiency of the search. The proposed modeling approach
is applied to a real data set from the steel industry.
Results show that the proposed approach is capable of
eliciting not only accurate but also transparent fuzzy
models.
