An Intelligent Data Mining System Through Integration Of Electromagnetism-Like Mechanism And Fuzzy Neural Network
In this chapter, a meta-heuristic algorithm (Electromagnetism-like Mechanism, EM) for global optimization is introduced. The Electromagnetism-like mechanism simulates the electromagnetism theory of physics by considering each sample point to be an electrical charge. The EM algorithm utilizes an attraction-repulsion mechanism to move the sample points towards the optimum. The electromagnetism-like mechanism (EM) can be used as a stand-alone approach or as an accompanying algorithm for other methods. Besides, the electromagnetism-like mechanism is not easily trapped into local optimum. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is using the electromagnetism-like mechanism (EM) to develop an electromagnetism-like mechanism based fuzzy neural network (EMFNN), and employ the EMFNN to train fuzzy if-then rules.
