Evolving Systems - a new concept, methods, algorithms, tools, 2000-now; see also Plamen Angelov (2008) Evolving fuzzy systems. Scholarpedia, 3(2):6274 as well as the Springer journal EVOS
Recursive Density Estimation (RDE) - 2003-now - a recursive version of the well known KDE (kernel density estimation) using Cauchy kernel (instead of Gaussian), see also P. Angelov, Anomalous System State Identification, patent application, GB1208542.9, priority date 15 May 2012.
Rule-based models with non-parametric antecedents (type ANYA) - a step beyond Takagi-Sugeno models (2010-2011) with Prof. Ronald R Yager; ANYA classifiers, predictors, controllers (there were two well known types of fuzzy systems: Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno; AnYa claims to be the third alternative simpler yet more efficient and easier to design type), see also P.
