NOTE ON THE INFORMATION-THEORETIC ASPECT OF FUZZY NEURAL TREE

Abstract

A note on the information-theoretic aspect of the fuzzy neural tree (FNT) is presented. The detailed description of the FNT is given in an earlier work, where its information-theoretic aspect is heuristically mentioned but not elaborated because of some space limitation. The present note is to highlight this aspect of the tree as this is important in working of the tree with its knowledge-driven structure.
