Hybrid SOM and fuzzy integral frameworks for fuzzy classification
Aureli Soria‐Frisch · 2003
The construction of fuzzy measures in the fuzzy integral, which is considered to be the crucial point for the extended utilization of this fusion methodology, is attained in the here presented paper through a Self-Organizing Map (SOM). This fact can improve the performance in the fuzzy measure assessment specially in high-dimensional feature spaces. Different methodologies for knowledge discovery related to the SOM paradigm are taken into consideration in order to achieve the assessment of the fuzzy measure coefficients. Furthermore an overview of the utilization of the fuzzy integral in classification problems is given. Finally two hybrid frameworks considering the SOM and the fuzzy integral are presented and used for fuzzy classification.
