This paper surveys some genetic-fuzzy data mining techniques for mining both membership functions and fuzzy association rules. The motivation from crisp mining to fuzzy mining will be first described. Three types of genetic-fuzzy data mining approaches are then described according to the utilized methods and different mining problems, including Integrated GeneticFuzzy approaches for items with Single Minimum Support (IGFSMS), Integrated Genetic-Fuzzy approaches for items with Multiple Minimum Supports (IGFMMS) and Divide-and-Conquer Genetic-Fuzzy approaches for items with Single Minimum Support (DGFSMS).
