Abstract: The efficient feature selection for predictive and accurate classification is highly desirable in many application domains. Most of the attempts to neuro-fuzzy classifier lose information to build interpretable neuro-fuzzy classification model. This paper proposes an interpretable neuro-fuzzy classification model with significant features without loss of knowledge, which is an extension of an existing interpretable neuro-fuzzy classification model. The proposed model is designed based on the consideration of feature importance that is determined by frequency of linguistic features. The rules are then made based on important features. Therefore, the knowledge acquired in network can be comprehended to logical rules using only important features. The proposed model finally performs classification task by rule-based approach. The average accuracy calculated by 10-fold cross validation finds that the proposed model can increase performance of the already proven neuro-fuzzy system for classification tasks.
