Abstract

When the Adaboost algorithm is used for extracting fuzzy rules from data, each rule is regarded as a weak learner, and knowledge bases as assimilated to ensembles. In this paper we propose an extension of this framework for obtaining fuzzy rule-based classifiers from imprecise data. In the new approach, the mentioned search of the best rule at each iteration is carried out by a genetic algorithm with a fuzzy fitness function. The instances will be assigned fuzzy weights, however each fuzzy rule will be associated to a crisp number of votes.
