Fuzzy connectives as a combination tool in a hybrid multi-neural system.

The set of fuzzy connectives can be seen as an important combination tool, such as in combining the antecedent sets of the rules, in multi-criteria decision making and in combining the outputs of neural classifiers in a multi-neural system. This papers investigates the performance of some fuzzy combination schemes applied to a multi hybrid neural system which is composed of neural and fuzzy neural networks. An empirical evaluation in a handwritten numeral recognition task is used to investigate the performance of the presented fuzzy methods with some existing combination methods.
