Scope: 
Participants will understand in detail the architecture and learning mechanism of very interesting and useful kind of hybrid neural network called Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network. Also, participants will get familiar with the advancements in fuzzy min-max neural network.

Contents:
Importance of neuro-fuzzy Architectures, Desirable properties of good classifier, Fuzzy Min-max Neural Network: Architecture, Learning Algorithm, Implementation results, briefing of Advanced fuzzy Min-max Neural Network.

A Brief Statement of the Relevance of the proposed workshops/tutorial to ISDA 2017:
As the conference focuses on Intelligent System design and applications, the proposed workshop will discuss the very important kind of Neural Network called Fuzzy Min-Max neural network that has the capability of learning in a single epoch and also has a very important characteristic of online training. Thus, Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network is a very efficient solution to the design of Intelligent Systems in many applications.
