Fuzzy Rules Generation Method for Classification Problems Using Rough Sets and Genetic Algorithms

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3641))

Abstract

A method of constructing a classifier that uses fuzzy reasoning is described in this paper. Rules for this classifier are obtained by means of algorithms relying on a tolerance rough sets model. Got rules are in so called sharp” form, a genetic algorithm is used for fuzzification of these rules. Presented results of experiments show that the proposed method allows getting a smaller rules set with similar (or better) classification abilities.
