Explain the world – Using causality to facilitate better rules for fuzzy systems (2024)
Journal Article
Zhang, T., Wagner, C., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2024). Explain the world – Using causality to facilitate better rules for fuzzy systems. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1109/TFUZZ.2024.3457962

The rules of a rule-based system provide explanations for its behaviour by revealing the relationships between the variables captured. However, ideally, we have AI systems which go beyond explainable AI (XAI), that is, systems which not only explain...
