Abstract : This work presents an asymmetric subsethood-product fuzzy neural inference system (ASuPFuNIS) that directly extends the SuPFuNIS model by permitting signal and weight fuzzy sets to be modeled by asymmetric Gaussian membership functions. The asymmetric subsethood-product network admits both numeric as well as linguistic inputs. Input nodes, which act as tunable feature fuzzifiers, fuzzify numeric inputs with asymmetric Gaussian fuzzy sets; and linguistic inputs are presented as is. The antecedent and consequent labels of standard fuzzy if-then rules are represented as asymmetric Gaussian fuzzy connection weights of the network. The model uses mutual subsethood based activation spread and a product aggregation operator that works in conjunction with volume defuzzification in a gradient descent learning framework. Despite the increase in the number of free parameters, the proposed model performs better than SuPFuNIS, on various benchmarking problems, both in terms of the performance accuracy and architectural economy and compares excellently with other various existing models with a performance better than most of them.
