Abstract

This paper presents a methodologicalapproach for tuning fuzzy classifiersintended to recognize the Australiansign-language considering twoparticular contexts. We describe thefuzzy classification architecture andthe tuning process based on differentialevolution. The validation resultsshow that it is possible to find a fuzzyclassifier whose classification error isaround 13.0% over a group of wordstaken from several experts for eachinteraction context. This characteristicis relevant as previous works only consideredrecognizing words providedonly by one interpreter.
