Abstract :
This paper presents a novel approach, Fuzz-SSVS, to improve the secondary structure prediction of proteins. In this work, a Sugeno based Fuzzy System is trained to act as a voting system to combine results of several secondary structure prediction techniques and produce superior answers. Fuzz-SSVS is tested with three of the well-known benchmarks in this field. The results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed technique even in the case of formidable sequences.
