Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems (FRBSs) are endowed with a knowledge base that can be used to provide model and outcome explanations. Usually, FRBSs are acquired from data by applying some learning methods: it is expected that, when modeling the same phenomenon, the FRBSs resulting from the application of a learning method should provide almost the same explanations. This requires a stability in the description of the knowledge bases that can be evaluated through the proposed measure of Descriptive Stability. The measure has been applied on three methods for generating FRBSs based on three benchmark datasets. The results show that, under same settings, different methods may produce FRBSs with varying stability, which impacts on their ability to provide trustful explanations.

Abstract

Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems (FRBSs) are endowed with a knowledge base that can be used to provide model and outcome explanations. Usually, FRBSs are acquired from data by applying some learning methods: it is expected that, when modeling the same phenomenon, the FRBSs resulting from the application of a learning method should provide almost the same explanations. This requires a stability in the description of the knowledge bases that can be evaluated through the proposed measure of Descriptive Stability. The measure has been applied on three methods for generating FRBSs based on three benchmark datasets. The results show that, under same settings, different methods may produce FRBSs with varying stability, which impacts on their ability to provide trustful explanations.
