The project is focused on the linguistic description of complex systems where the usual approaches in the linguistic summarization field are not endowed with an appropiate expressiveness. It continues and extends the objectives and achievements of DARBO on "automated discovery of non conventional fuzzy temporal rules", carried out by members of the research team at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC).
This new project addresses the research and application of meta-heuristic techniques (in particular, evolutionary computation and genetic programming) to the summarization problem in two scenarios:
At the same time, the techniques and the proposed models are applied to investigate a number of fields, such as the linguistic description of numerical prediction data in meteorology, description of domestic energy consumption or urban traffic characteristics.
