The model seamlessly integrates neural networks, fuzzy systems, and n-uninorms to cultivate knowledge within an adaptive, real-time learning context. Neuro-fuzzy rules, encapsulating interdependencies among input features through IF-THEN type relationships, are formulated utilizing null-unineurons derived from n-uninorms. This construction enables the articulation of both AND- and OR-connections, thereby augmenting the interpretability of the generated rules. The evolution of neurons is facilitated by an extended adaptation of the autonomous data partition method (ADPA). To dynamically interpret the evolution of rules, the paper introduces (i) a mechanism that tracks changes in rules over data stream samples, providing insights into the process dynamics as a structural active learning component, and (ii) a concept for incrementally updating feature weights. These weights encapsulate the varying impact levels of features on stress identification, enabling the reduction of rule length by effectively masking out less significant features. The outcomes of the rules are represented by certainty vectors, recursively updated through an indicator-based recursive weighted least squares (I-RWLS) approach. Neuron activation levels play a pivotal role in determining the weights, ensuring stable local learning. The effectiveness of the proposed model is substantiated through a comprehensive comparison with existing hybrid and evolving approaches in the literature, focusing on binary and multi-class pattern classification. Aspects that identify special characteristics of neuro-fuzzy models related to interpretability will also be demonstrated in this work. The results demonstrate the model's superior performance, characterized by consistently higher accuracy trend lines over time. Furthermore, the model's interpretability is underscored by the coherent neuro-fuzzy rules, contributing to its remarkable accuracy (the EFNN-Nul0 achieved approximately 99% accuracy in stress identification), establishing its efficacy in addressing stress identification within classification problems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140947618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
