An immune symbiotic evolution learning for compensatory neural fuzzy networks and its applications

This study presents an efficient immune symbiotic evolution learning algorithm for the compensatory neural fuzzy network (CNFN). The proposed immune symbiotic evolution learning method (ISEL) includes three major components initial population, subgroup symbiotic evolution and immune system algorithm. The advantage of the proposed ISEL method are that the subgroup symbiotic evolution method uses the subgroup-based population to evaluate the fuzzy rules locally and the adopted immune system algorithm can accelerate the search and increase global search capacity. Finally, the simulation results have shown that the proposed CNFN-ISEL can outperform other methods. © 2011 IEEE
