Abstract
Although fuzzy systems demonstrated their ability to solve different kinds of problems in various applications, there is an increasing interest on augmenting them with learning capabilities. Two of the most successful approaches to hybridise fuzzy systems with adaptation methods have been made in the realm of soft computing: neuro-fuzzy systems and genetic fuzzy systems hybridise the approximate reasoning method of fuzzy systems with the learning capabilities of neural networks and evolutionary algorithms. The article focuses on genetic fuzzy systems, paying special attention to genetic fuzzy rule based systems, giving a brief overview of the field.
