Abstract

In this chapter we focus on the Wisconsin breast cancer diagnosis (WBCD) problem, combining two methodologies—fuzzy systems and evolutionary algorithms—to automatically produce diagnostic systems. We present two hybrid approaches: (1) a fuzzy-genetic algorithm, and (2) Fuzzy CoCo, a novel cooperative coevolutionary approach to fuzzy modeling. Both methods produce systems exhibiting high classification performance, and which are also human-interpretable. Fuzzy CoCo obtains higher-performance systems than the standard fuzzy-genetic approach while using less computational effort.
