Input space selective fuzzification in intuitionistic semi fuzzy-neural network

In this paper, the influence of the selective fuzzification of the input space in Intuitionistic Semi-Fuzzy Neural Network (ISFNN) is investigated. The ISFNN represents a structure modification of the classical fuzzy-neural approach where selective fuzzification as a means to reduce the number of the generated fuzzy rules is proposed, thus expected to reduce the number of the associated learning parameters and to achieve a degree of computational simplicity. On the other hand, the potentials of the network are supplemented by intuitionistic fuzzy logic, in order to handle uncertain data variations. As a learning procedure for the proposed structure, a two-step gradient descent algorithm is employed. To investigate the influence of input space fuzzificaton, several test experiments in modeling of a two benchmark chaotic systems - Mackey-Glass and Rossler chaotic time series are made.
