Abstract
This paper proposes a new neural fuzzy inference system that mainly consists of four parts. The first part is about how to use neural network to express the relation within a fuzzy rule. The second part is the simplification of the first part, and experiments show that these simplifications work. On the contrary to the second part, the third part is the enhancement of the first part and it can be used when the first part cannot work very well in the fuzzy inference algorithm, which would be introduced in the fourth part. Finally, the fourth part “neural fuzzy inference algorithm” is been introduced. It can inference the new membership function of the output based on previous fuzzy rules. The accuracy of the fuzzy inference algorithm is dependent on neural network generalization ability. Even if the generalization ability of the neural network we used is good, we still get inaccurate results since the new coming rule may not be related to any of the previous rules. Experiments show this algorithm is successful in situations which satisfy these conditions.
