title: Model-free optimization of fuzzy rule-based systems using evolution strategies.
abstract: In this paper the applicability of evolution strategies, a special kind of evolutionary algorithms, to the problem of parameter optimization in the development of fuzzy rule-based systems is demonstrated. For this aim we introduce a shell which supports the design of any kind of rule based systems employing fuzzy logic for the formalization of imprecise reasoning processes and which optimizes all numerical parameters. This method works model-free, we do not need to know implicit features of the optimizing system.
