Abstract: In recent past, it has been seen in many applications that synergism of computational intelligence techniques outperforms over an individual technique. This paper proposes a new hybrid computation model which is a novel synergism of modified evolutionary fuzzy clustering with associated neural networks. It consists of two modules: fuzzy distribution and neural classifier. In first module, mean patterns are distributed into the number of clusters based on the modified evolutionary fuzzy clustering, which leads the basis for network structure selection and learning in associated neural classifier. In second module, training and subsequent generalization is performed by the associated neural networks. The number of associated networks required in the second module will be same as the number of clusters generated in the first module. Whereas, each network contains as many output neurons as the maximum number of members assigned to each cluster. The proposed hybrid model is evaluated over wide spectrum of benchmark problems and real life biometric recognition problems even in presence of real environmental constraints such as noise and occlusion. The results indicate the efficacy of proposed method over related techniques and endeavor promising outcomes for biometric applications with noise and occlusion.
