Abstract

In this paper, we propose a rule extraction method using a modified Fuzzy Min-Max (FMM) neural network. The suggested method supplements the hyperbox definition with a frequency factor of feature values in the learning data set. We have defined a relevance factor between features and pattern classes. The proposed model can solve the ambiguity problem without using the overlapping test process and the contraction process. The hyperbox membership function based on the fuzzy partitions is defined for each dimension of a pattern class. The weight values are trained by the feature range and the frequency of feature values. The excitatory features and the inhibitory features can be classified by the proposed method and they can be used for the rule generation process. From the experiments of sign language recognition, the proposed method is evaluated empirically.
