Abstract

A review of the optimization methods used in the design of type-2 fuzzy systems, which are relatively novel models of imprecision, is presented in this paper. The main aim of the work is to study the basic reasons for optimizing type-2 fuzzy systems for solving problems different areas of application. Recently, nature-inspired methods have emerged as powerful optimization algorithms for solving complex problems. In the case of designing type-2 fuzzy systems for particular applications, the use of nature-inspired optimization methods have helped in the complex task of finding the appropriate parameter values and structure of the fuzzy systems. In this paper, we consider the application of genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization as three different paradigms that help in the design of optimal type-2 fuzzy systems. A comparison of the different optimization methods for the case of designing type-2 fuzzy systems is also offered.
