Fuzzy Rule Extraction from Simple Evolving Connectionist Systems

A method for extracting Zadeh–Mamdani fuzzy rules from a minimalist constructive neural network model is described. The network contains no embedded fuzzy logic elements. The rule extraction algorithm needs no modification of the neural network architecture. No modification of the network learning algorithm is required, nor is it necessary to retain any training examples. The algorithm is illustrated on two well known benchmark data sets and compared with a relevantMichael J. Watt
