Unsupervised Fuzzy eIX: Evolving Internal-eXternal Fuzzy Clustering
Time-varying classifiers, namely, evolving classifiers, play an important
role in a scenario in which information is available as a never-ending online
data stream. We present a new unsupervised learning method for numerical data
called evolving Internal-eXternal Fuzzy clustering method (Fuzzy eIX). We
develop the notion of double-boundary fuzzy granules and elaborate on its
implications. Type 1 and type 2 fuzzy inference systems can be obtained from
the projection of Fuzzy eIX granules. We perform the principle of the balanced
information granularity within Fuzzy eIX classifiers to achieve a higher level
of model understandability. Internal and external granules are updated from a
numerical data stream at the same time that the global granular structure of
the classifier is autonomously evolved. A synthetic nonstationary problem
called Rotation of Twin Gaussians shows the behavior of the classifier. The
Fuzzy eIX classifier could keep up with its accuracy in a scenario in which
offline-trained classifiers would clearly have their accuracy drastically
dropped.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures, IEEE Conference on Evolving and Adaptive
