Abstract

This paper describes some preliminary investigations into the relationships between granularity and specificity in fuzzy rule bases. It proposes a strategy for learning fuzzy rules that optimizes granularity based on a desired degree of specificity. In addition, this approach may be used to combine rule bases of various degrees of granularity.
