A hierarchical knowledge-based environment for linguistic modeling: Models and iterative methodology

Although linguistic models are highly descriptive, they suffer from inaccuracy in some complex problems. This fact is due to problems related to the inflexibility of the linguistic rule structure that has been considered. Moreover, methods often employed to design these models from data are also bia...

description Although linguistic models are highly descriptive, they suffer from inaccuracy in some complex problems. This fact is due to problems related to the inflexibility of the linguistic rule structure that has been considered. Moreover, methods often employed to design these models from data are also biased by the former structure and by their nature, which is close to prototype identification algorithms. In order to deal with these problems of linguistic modeling, an extension of the knowledge base of linguistic fuzzy rule-based systems was previously introduced, i.e., the hierarchical knowledge base (HKB) (IEEE Trans.

From this perspective, linguistic modeling using an HKB can be regarded as a search for a decomposition of a non-linear system that gives a desired balance between the interpretability and the accuracy of the model.
