title: Optimization of fuzzy models.
abstract: Fuzzy models are regarded as linguistic modeling structures with well-defined functional blocks of input and output interfaces along with a processing module. The paper examines the functions of these modules and specifies the relevant optimization tasks emerging in fuzzy system identification. Considering several distinct levels of conceptual memorization realized within the fuzzy models (subsequently resulting in establishing short-, medium-, and long-term memories), the corresponding learning policies are developed. The study includes also detailed simulation studies.
