Abstract
We propose a new category of neurofuzzy networks--self-organizing neural networks (SONN) with fuzzy polynomial neurons (FPNs) and discuss a comprehensive design methodology supporting their development. Two kinds of SONN architectures, namely a basic SONN and a modified SONN architecture are discussed. Each of them comes with two topologies such as a generic and advanced type. Especially in the advanced type, the number of nodes in each layer of the SONN architecture can be modified with new nodes added, if necessary. SONN dwells on the ideas of fuzzy rule-based computing and neural networks. The architecture of the SONN is not fixed in advance as it usually takes place in the case of conventional neural networks, but becomes organized dynamically through a growth process. Simulation involves a series of synthetic as well as real-world data used across various neurofuzzy systems. A comparative analysis shows that the proposed SONN are models exhibiting higher accuracy than some other fuzzy models.
