Abstract

The defuzzification of a type-2 fuzzy set is a two-stage process consisting of firstly type-reduction, and a secondly defuzzification of the resultant type-1 set. All accurate type reduction methods used to build fuzzy classifiers are based on the recursive Karnik-Mendel algorithm, which is troublesome to obtain a feedforward type-2 fuzzy network structure. Moreover, the KM algorithm and its modifications complicate the learning process due to the non-differentiability of the maximum and minimum functions. Therefore, this paper proposes to use the smooth maximum function to develop a new structure of the fuzzy type-2 classifier.
