Abstract

A major drawback of artificial neural networks is their black-box character. In this paper, we use the equivalence between artificial neural networks and a specific fuzzy rule base to extract the knowledge embedded in the network. We demonstrate this using a benchmark problem: the recognition of digits produced by a LED device. The method provides a symbolic and comprehensible description of the knowledge learned by the network during its training.
