Information Granulation-Based Multi-layer Hybrid Fuzzy Neural Networks: Analysis and Design

In this study, a new architecture and comprehensive design methodology of genetically optimized Hybrid Fuzzy Neural Networks (gHFNN) are introduced and a series of numeric experiments are carried out. The gHFNN architecture results from a synergistic usage of the hybrid system generated by combining Fuzzy Neural Networks (FNN) with Polynomial Neural Networks (PNN). FNN contributes to the formation of the premise part of the overall network structure of the gHFNN. The consequence part of the gHFNN is designed using PNN.
