Design of a pattern classifier using fuzzy neural networks

퍼지 신경망을 이용한 패턴 분류기의 설계

Most of clustering methods usually employ the center of a cluster to assign the input data into a cluster. When the shape of a cluster could not be easily represented by the center of cluster, however, it is difficult to assign input data into a proper cluster using previous methods. In this paper, to overcome such a difficulty, a cluster is to be represented as a collection of several subclusters. And membership functions are used to represent how much input data belong to subclusters. Then the position of each subcluster is adoptively corrected by use of a competitive learning neural network. To show the validity of the proposed method, a numerical example is illustrated, where FMMC(Fuzzy Min-Max Clustering) algorithm is compared with the proposed method.
