The major challenge in the design of Interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) is to determine the optimal parameters for their antecedent and consequent parts. The most frequently used objective function for the design of IT2FLSs is root mean squared error (RMSE). However, other than RMSE, the maximum absolute error (MAE) for each of identification samples is very important. This paper propose a novel hybrid learning algorithm for the design of IT2FLS. The proposed algorithm benefits from the combination of extreme learning machine (ELM) and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGAII) to tune the parameters of the consequent and antecedent parts of the IT2FLS, respectively. The proposed method is used for forecasting of nonlinear dynamic systems. It is shown that not only the proposed method results in low RMSE, MAE achieved is also satisfactory. © 2016 IEEE.
