Consistent, Complete and Compact Generation of DNF-type Fuzzy Rules by a Pittsburgh-style Genetic Algorithm

When a flexible fuzzy rule structure such as those with antecedent in conjunctive normal form is used, the interpretability of the obtained fuzzy model is significantly improved. However, some important problems appear related to the interaction among this set of rules. Indeed, it is relatively easy to get inconsistencies, lack of completeness, redundancies, etc. Mostly these properties are ignored or mildly faced. This paper, however, focuses on the design of a multiobjective genetic algorithm that properly considers all these properties thus ensuring an effective search space exploration and generation of highly legible and accurate fuzzy models.
