Intelligent control using an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Neural Network with a hybrid learning algorithm

In this paper, a class of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Neural Networks (IT2FNN) is proposed, which is functionally equivalent to interval type-2 fuzzy inference systems. The computational process envisioned for fuzzy neural systems is as follows: it starts with the development of an ”Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Neuron”, which is based on biological neural morphologies, followed by the learning mechanisms. We describe how to decompose the parameter set such that the hybrid learning rule of adaptive networks can be applied to the IT2FNN architecture for the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) type of reasoning.
