โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents a novel boosting algorithm for genetic learning of fuzzy classiรฟcation rules. The method is based on the iterative rule learning approach to fuzzy rule base system design. The fuzzy rule base is generated in an incremental fashion, in that the evolutionary algorithm optimizes one fuzzy classiรฟer rule at a time. The boosting mechanism reduces the weight of those training instances that are classiรฟed correctly by the new rule. Therefore, the next rule generation cycle focuses on fuzzy rules that account for the currently uncovered or misclassiรฟed instances. The weight of a fuzzy rule re ects the relative strength the boosting algorithm assigns to the rule class when it aggregates the casted votes. The approach is compared with other classiรฟcation algorithms for a number problem sets from the UCI repository.

A genetic algorithm (GA)-based scheme for learning fuzzy rules for controllers, called an optimized fuzzy logic controller (OFLC) was proposed by Chan, Xie and Rad (2000). In this article we first analyze their OFLC and discuss some of its limitations. We also propose some modifications on an OFLC t
In this paper, genetic algorithms are used in the study to maximise the performance of a fuzzy logic controller through the search of a subset of rule from a given knowledge base to achieve the goal of minimising the number of rules required. Comparisons are made between systems utilising reduced ru
