The PTRFN model consists of a number of modules interconnected in a cascaded form. The participating modules are implemented through recurrent fuzzy neural networks with internal dynamics. The structure of the modules is evolved sequentially from input-output data. The parameter learning task is accomplished using a gradient descent algorithm and the extended least squares method. The suggested predictor exhibits a series of attractive attributes, including effective spatial representation of the temporal patterns, enhanced memorizing capabilities, and low computational complexity. The nonlinear subsection of the predictor (PTRFN), followed by a linear subsection (a tapped delay-line filter) is tested on the adaptive speech prediction problem.

To ensure the model interpretability, this collection of rules can be naturally decomposed and efficiently implemented as a hierarchical fuzzy model. This paper describes how this can be done using hybrid hierarchical genetic fuzzy modeling. The idea is to combine, in a hierarchical design, \"mapping\" for sub-goal behavior (SGB), and \"reactivity\" for local avoiding obstacles behavior (LAOB), to have at the same time, an interpretable and precise communicating system for robot motion planning controller. The design of each fuzzy unit of the hierarchical model is automatically ensured by MAGAD-BFS method (multi-agent genetic algorithm for the design of beta fuzzy systems), promoting itself as an interpretability-accuracy trade-off. A proposed reduced version of generalized local Voronoi diagram (RGLVD) comes to guarantee a high degree of precision for robot motion to attempt destinations (sub-goals).

Often, real world databases have a large number of features and the most relevant ones must be chosen. Recently, a new automatic feature selection for classification problems was proposed to construct compact fuzzy classification models. This technique used the classical fuzzy c-means algorithm. However, other fuzzy clustering algorithms, such as possibilistic c-means, fuzzy possibilistic c-means or possibilistic fuzzy c-means can be used to cluster the data. An open topic of research is what clustering algorithms can be used to derive fuzzy models for classification. This paper addresses this topic, by comparing fuzzy clustering algorithms in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy in classification problems.

Therefore, it is typical for data acquired from questionnaires that each of the inputs and outputs are not numbers, but sets of values. In this paper, we represent the information contained in such a set of values by means of a fuzzy number. A fuzzy statistics-based interpretation of the semantic of a fuzzy set is used for this purpose, as we consider that this fuzzy number is a nested family of confidence intervals for the value of the variable. The accuracy of the model is expressed by means of an interval-valued function, derived from a definition of the variance of a fuzzy random variable. A multicriteria genetic learning algorithm, able to optimize this interval-valued function, is proposed.

The stress values were obtained by FEM (finite element method) analysis. Additionally, the relationship between the roof shapes and beauty was investigated using questionnaires based on computer graphics. These results were analyzed to formulate KANSEI evaluation rules that incorporated the beauty and the elements of form.
