Predicting infarction growth rate II using ANFIS-based binary particle swarm optimization technique in ischemic stroke by Afnan Al-Ali (16888695)

“…One such promising technique, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), has shown potential, but it faces the 'curse of dimensionality' and long training times as the number of features increased. This paper introduces an innovative, automatic method that combines Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) with ANFIS architecture, achieves reduction in dimensionality by reducing the number of rules and training time. …”
