Abstract

In this paper, we attempt to incorporate trained base learners outputs as inputs to the antecedent parts in fuzzy rule-based construction of hybrid ensembles. To accomplish this we adopt a versatile framework for the production of ensemble systems that uses a grammar driven genetic programming to evolve combinations of multilayer perceptrons and support vector machines. We evaluate the proposed architecture using three realworld regression tasks and compare it with multi-level, hierarchical ensembles. The conducted preliminary experiments showed very interesting results indicating that given a large pool of base predictors to choose from, the outputs of some of them, when applied to fuzzy sets, can be used as selectors for building accurate ensembles from other more accurate and complementary members of the same base predictor pool.
