"Hybrid expert systems: A survey of current approaches and applications", Expert Systems With Applications, Vol. 39, No. 4, pp. 4609-4617, (2012)1873-67930957-4174http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/2981This paper is a statistical analysis of hybrid expert system approaches and their applications but more specifically connectionist and neuro-fuzzy system oriented articles are considered. The current survey of hybrid expert systems is based on the classification of articles from 1988 to 2010. Present analysis includes 91 articles from related academic journals, conference proceedings and literature reviews. Our results show an increase in the number of recent publications which is an indication of gaining popularity on the part of hybrid expert systems. This increase in the articles is mainly in neuro-fuzzy and rough neural expert systems' areas. We also observe that many new industrial applications are developed using hybrid expert systems recently. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
