The combination and prospects of neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms

Today, there's a synergy beginning to form among neural nets (NNs), fuzzy logic (FL) and genetic algorithms (GAs). This paper reviews developments in this respect. Many designs of knowledge-based and associated learning systems using the combination of NNs and FL abilities have been presented. Some methods for the integration of GAs with fuzzy systems are described. Afterwards, work on hybrid systems of GAs and NNs is discussed. Finally, some advantages obtained through the fusion of the FL, NNs and GAs are emphasized, and possible ways of combining the three are developed.
