A neural expert system using fuzzy teaching input

The author previously (1990, 1991) proposed a fuzzy neural expert system and provided a method to extract automatically fuzzy IF-THEN rules from a trained neural network. The previous work is extended and a neural expert system is proposed using fuzzy teaching input. The neural expert system can perform generalization of the information derived from training data with fuzzy teaching input and embodiment of knowledge in the form of a fuzzy neural network, where the fuzzy teaching input is subjectively given by domain experts: and extraction of fuzzy IF-THEN rules with linguistic relative importance of each proposition in an antecedent (IF-part) from a trained neural network. A method is proposed to extract automatically fuzzy IF-THEN rules from the trained neural network generated by training data with fuzzy teaching input
