Interpolation-based Fuzzy Reasoning as an Application Oriented Approach
Szilveszter Kovács · 2005
Some difficulties emerging during the construction of fuzzy rule bases are inherited from the type of the applied fuzzy reasoning. The fuzzy rule base requested for many classical reasoning methods needed to be complete. In case of fetching fuzzy rules directly from expert knowledge, the way of building a complete rule base is not always straightforward. One simple solution for overcoming the necessity of the complete rule base is the application of interpolation-based fuzzy reasoning methods, since interpolation- based fuzzy reasoning methods can serve usable (interpolated) conclusion even if none of the existing rules is hit by the observation. These methods can save the expert from dealing with derivable rules and help to concentrate on cardinal actions only. For demonstrating the benefits of the interpolation-based fuzzy reasoning methods in construction of fuzzy rule bases a simple example will be introduced briefly in this paper too.
