Abstract

A new approach is proposed to fit complex nonlinear function by using BRB system in this paper. BRB system is a knowledge-based system instead of a black box, but its parameters can be trained with an optimization framework. Therefore, it combines the advantage of the knowledge-based method and data-driven method, so it can not only overcome the inaccuracy of expert knowledge but also overcome the overfitting problem of data-driven method. An experiment is implemented to compare the performance of BRB system and neural network when fitting a nonlinear system, and the results indicate that BRB system performs much better than neural network when training data is insufficient.
