Fuzzy granular approximation classifier
Marko Palangetić, Chris Cornelis, Salvatore Greco, Roman Słowiński
In this article, a new Fuzzy Granular Approximation Classifier (FGAC) is introduced. The classifier is based on the previously introduced concept of the granular approximation and its multi-class classification case. The classifier is instance-based and its biggest advantage is its local transparency i.e., the ability to explain every individual prediction it makes. We first develop the FGAC for the binary classification case and the multi-class classification case and we discuss its variation that includes the Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) operators. Those variations of the FGAC are then empirically compared with other locally transparent ML methods. At the end, we discuss the transparency of the FGAC and its advantage over other locally transparent methods. We conclude that while the FGAC has similar predictive performance to other locally transparent ML models, its transparency can be superior in certain cases.
