“…In a seminal book, Adeli and Hung (1995) advocated and presented the synergistic integration of the three areas of computation intelligence: NN, FL, and GA and showed how such a multiparadigm approach can help solve complicated pattern recognition problems such as face recognition and engineering design. Since then many authors have followed their multiparadigm approach, but the great majority have focused on integration of just two, such as FL and NNs (GonzalezâOlvera et al, 2010; Li et al, 2010; Scherer, 2010; Theodoridis et al, 2010; Wang et al, 2010; Freitag et al, 2011) or FL and evolutionary computing (Iglesias et al, 2010; Patrinos et al, 2010). This work proposes an innovative model, called FALCONâCOST, for estimating semiconductor hookup construction project costs (Wang et al, 2012) using NN, FL, and GA. To systematically deal with a costâestimating environment involving limited and uncertain data, this proposed model integrates the component ratios method, fuzzy adaptive learning control network (FALCON), fast messy GA (fmGA), and threeâpoint cost estimation method.…”
