PSO with Dynamic Adaptation of Parameters for Optimization in Neural Networks with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Numbers Weights

Abstract

A dynamic adjustment of parameters for the particle swarm optimization (PSO) utilizing an interval type-2 fuzzy inference system is proposed in this work. A fuzzy neural network with interval type-2 fuzzy number weights using S-norm and T-norm is optimized with the proposed method. A dynamic adjustment of the PSO allows the algorithm to behave better in the search for optimal results because the dynamic adjustment provides good synchrony between the exploration and exploitation of the algorithm. Results of experiments and a comparison between traditional neural networks and the fuzzy neural networks with interval type-2 fuzzy numbers weights using T-norms and S-norms are given to prove the performance of the proposed approach. For testing the performance of the proposed approach, some cases of time series prediction are applied, including the stock exchanges of Germany, Mexican, Dow-Jones, London, Nasdaq, Shanghai, and Taiwan.
