Abstract
AbstractAs one of the three pillars in computational intelligence, fuzzy systems are a powerful mathematical tool widely used for modelling nonlinear problems with uncertainties. Fuzzy systems take the form of linguistic IF-THEN fuzzy rules that are easy to understand for human. In this sense, fuzzy inference mechanisms have been developed to mimic human reasoning and decision-making. From a data analytic perspective, fuzzy systems provide an effective solution to build precise predictive models from imprecise data with great transparency and interpretability, thus facilitating a wide range of real-world applications. This paper presents a systematic review of modern methods for autonomously learning fuzzy systems from data, with an emphasis on the structure and parameter learning schemes of mainstream evolving, evolutionary, reinforcement learning-based fuzzy systems. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the underlying concepts, underpinning methodologies, as well as outstanding performances of the state-of-the-art methods. It serves as a one-stop guide for readers learning the representative methodologies and foundations of fuzzy systems or who desire to apply fuzzy-based autonomous learning in other scientific disciplines and applied fields.

Abstract
The main objective and contribution of this paper is the application of our knowledge-discovery business-intelligence technique (fuzzy rule-based classification systems) characterized by genetically optimized interpretability-accuracy trade-off (using multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithms) to decision support related to airline passenger satisfaction problems. Recently published and accessible at Kaggle’s repository airline passengers satisfaction data set containing 259,760 records is used in our experiments. A comparison of our approach with an alternative method (using SAS-system’s accuracy-oriented prediction tools to determine the attribute importance hierarchy) is also performed showing the advantages of our method in terms of: (i) discovering the actual hierarchy of attribute significance for passenger satisfaction and (ii) knowledge-discovery system’s interpretability-accuracy trade-off optimization. The main results and findings of our work include: (i) an introduction of the modern fuzzy-genetic business-intelligence solution characterized both by high interpretability and high accuracy to the airline passenger satisfaction decision support, (ii) an analysis of the effect of possible "overlapping" of some input attributes over the other ones in order to discover the real hierarchy of influence of particular input attributes upon the airline passengers satisfaction, and (iii) an extended cross-validation experiment confirming high effectiveness of our approach for different learning-test splits of the data set considered.

Abstract
Transactions in web data are huge amounts of data, often consisting of fuzzy and quantitative values. Mining fuzzy association rules can help discover interesting relationships between web data. The quality of these rules depends on membership functions, and thus, it is essential to find the suitable number and position of membership functions. The time spent by users on each web page, which shows their level of interest in those web pages, can be considered as a trapezoidal membership function (TMF). In this paper, the optimization problem was finding the appropriate number and position of TMFs for each web page. To solve this optimization problem, a learning automata-based algorithm was proposed to optimize the number and position of TMFs (LA-ONPTMF). Experiments conducted on two real datasets confirmed that the proposed algorithm enhances the efficiency of mining fuzzy association rules by extracting the optimized TMFs.

Abstract
AbstractInterpretabilty is one of the desired characteristics in various classification task. Rule-based system and fuzzy logic can be used for interpretation in classification. The main drawback of rule-based system is that it may contain large complex rules for classification and sometimes it becomes very difficult in interpretation. Rule reduction is also difficult for various reasons. Removing important rules may effect in classification accuracy. This paper proposes a hybrid fuzzy-rough set approach named RS-HeRR for the generation of effective, interpretable and compact rule set. It combines a powerful rule generation and reduction fuzzy system, called Hebbian-based rule reduction algorithm (HeRR) and a novel rough-set-based attribute selection algorithm for rule reduction. The proposed hybridization leverages upon rule reduction through reduction in partial dependency as well as improvement in system performance to significantly reduce the problem of redundancy in HeRR, even while providing similar or better accuracy. RS-HeRR demonstrates these characteristics repeatedly over four diverse practical classification problems, such as diabetes identification, urban water treatment monitoring, sonar target classification, and detection of ovarian cancer. It also demonstrates excellent performance for highly biased datasets. In addition, it competes very well with established non-fuzzy classifiers and outperforms state-of-the-art methods that use rough sets for rule reduction in fuzzy systems.

Abstract
The main objective and contribution of this paper was/is the application of our knowledge-based data-mining approach (a fuzzy rule-based classification system) characterized by a genetically optimized interpretability-accuracy trade-off (by means of multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithms) for transparent and accurate prediction of decentral smart grid control (DSGC) stability. In particular, we aim at uncovering the hierarchy of influence of particular input attributes upon the DSGC stability. Moreover, we also analyze the effect of possible "overlapping" of some input attributes over the other ones from the DSGC-stability perspective. The recently published and available at the UCI Database Repository Electrical Grid Stability Simulated Data Set and its input-aggregate-based concise version were used in our experiments. A comparison with 39 alternative approaches was also performed, demonstrating the advantages of our approach in terms of: (i) interpretable and accurate fuzzy rule-based DSGC-stability prediction and (ii) uncovering the hierarchy of DSGC-system’s attribute significance.

Abstract
In this paper, a Sugeno type fuzzy system based on the fuzzy clustering has been developed for a variety of datasets. The number of rules for each dataset is based on the optimum number of clusters in that dataset. Rule sets provide the knowledge base for the classification of data. Each rule set is fine-tuned using the GWO with the intention to improve the classification. The approach is compared with the work of previous researchers on similar data sets using a variety of techniques, including nature-inspired algorithms such as genetic algorithms and Swarm based algorithms. Statistical Analysis of the performance of GWO shows that it is better than five other algorithms 95% of the time.

Abstract
Abstract
Fast content-based image retrieval is still a challenge for computer systems. We present a novel method aimed at classifying images by fuzzy rules and local image features. The fuzzy rule base is generated in the first stage by a boosting procedure. Boosting meta-learning is used to find the most representative local features. We briefly explore the utilization of metaheuristic algorithms for the various tasks of fuzzy systems optimization. We also provide a comprehensive description of the current best-performing DISH algorithm, which represents a powerful version of the differential evolution algorithm with effective embedded mechanisms for stronger exploration and preservation of the population diversity, designed for higher dimensional and complex optimization tasks. The algorithm is used to fine-tune the fuzzy rule base. The fuzzy rules can also be used to create a database index to retrieve images similar to the query image fast. The proposed approach is tested on a state-of-the-art image dataset and compared with the bag-of-features image representation model combined with the Support Vector Machine classification. The novel method gives a better classification accuracy, and the time of the training and testing process is significantly shorter.

Abstract
Machine learning systems are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. These systems’s adoption has been expanding, accelerating the shift towards a more algorithmic society, meaning that algorithmically informed decisions have greater potential for significant social impact. However, most of these accurate decision support systems remain complex black boxes, meaning their internal logic and inner workings are hidden to the user and even experts cannot fully understand the rationale behind their predictions. Moreover, new regulations and highly regulated domains have made the audit and verifiability of decisions mandatory, increasing the demand for the ability to question, understand, and trust machine learning systems, for which interpretability is indispensable. The research community has recognized this interpretability problem and focused on developing both interpretable models and explanation methods over the past few years. However, the emergence of these methods shows there is no consensus on how to assess the explanation quality. Which are the most suitable metrics to assess the quality of an explanation? The aim of this article is to provide a review of the current state of the research field on machine learning interpretability while focusing on the societal impact and on the developed methods and metrics. Furthermore, a complete literature review is presented in order to identify future directions of work on this field.
