Abstract

In this paper, we present an on-line learning neuro-fuzzy system which was inspired by parts of the mechanisms in immune systems. It illustrates how an on-line learning neuro-fuzzy system can capture the basic elements of the immune system and exhibit some of its appealing properties. During the learning procedure, a neuro-fuzzy system can be incrementally constructed. We illustrate the potential of the on-line learning neuro-fuzzy system on several benchmark classification problems and function approximation problems.

Keywords: Artificial immune systems, on-line learning, neural networks, fuzzy systems.
