Similarity reasoning-driven evolutionary fuzzy system for monotonic-preserving models

Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is a popular computing paradigm which has been identified as a solution for various application domains, e.g. control, assessment, decision making, and approximation. However, it suffers from two major shortcomings, i.e., the "curse of dimensionality" and the &...
