Abstract
A new approach for the construction of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps augmented by knowledge through fuzzy rule-extraction methods for medical decision making is investigated. This new approach develops an augmented Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping based Decision Support System combining knowledge from experts and knowledge from data in the form of fuzzy rules generated from rule-based knowledge discovery methods. Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM) is a fuzzy modeling methodology based on exploiting knowledge and experience from experts. The FCM accompanied with knowledge extraction and computational intelligent techniques, contribute to the development of a decision support system in medical informatics. The proposed approach is implemented in a well-known medical problem for assessment of treatment planning decision process in radiotherapy.
