Learning interpretable fuzzy inference systems with FisPro
Fuzzy inference systems (FIS) are likely to play a significant part in system modeling, provided that they remain interpretable following learning from data. The aim of this paper is to set up some guidelines for interpretable FIS learning, based on practical experience with fuzzy modeling in various fields. An open source software system called FisPro has been specifically designed to provide generic tools for interpretable FIS design and learning. It can then be extended with the addition of new contributions. This work presents a global approach to design data-driven FIS that satisfy certain interpretability and accuracy criteria. It includes fuzzy partition generation, rule learning, input space reduction and rule base simplification. The FisPro implementation is discussed and illustrated through several detailed case studies.
