Prototype-based rules and similarity-based methods

  • Objective: create logical rules based on similarity to prototypes, show that they are more general than fuzzy rules and provide an alternative to neurofuzzy system, develop similarity-based systems.
  • Participants: Wlodzislaw Duch, Marcin Blachnik, Karol Grudzinski, Krzysztof Grabczewski
  • Time: early work done in 2000 with Karol Grudzinski, more since 2003 with Marcin Blachnik, summarized in his PhD: Prototype-based rules and their connections with fuzzy systems with applications in data classification (in Polish), Technical University of Silesia 2007, followed by more advanced meta-learning based on composition of transformations.
  • Relevant Projects: Meta-learning and similarity-based methods.
  • Results: papers, talks, Matlab toolkit (Marcin): see papers with Marcin Blachnik on this list, and talks on this topic on this list
  • Main papers:
