This paper presents a review of the central theories involved in hybrid models based on fuzzy systems and artificial neural networks, mainly focused on supervised methods for training hybrid models. The basic concepts regarding the history of hybrid models, from the first proposed model to the current advances, the composition and the functionalities in their architecture, the data treatment and the training methods of these intelligent models are presented to the reader so that the evolution of this category of intelligent systems can be evidenced. Finally, the features of the leading models and their applications are presented to the reader. We conclude that the fuzzy neural network models and their derivations are efficient in constructing a system with a high degree of accuracy and an appropriate level of interpretability working in a wide range of areas of economics and science.

Abstract
This paper presents a review of the central theories involved in hybrid models based on fuzzy systems and artificial neural networks, mainly focused on supervised methods for training hybrid models. The basic concepts regarding the history of hybrid models, from the first proposed model to the current advances, the composition and the functionalities in their architecture, the data treatment and the training methods of these intelligent models are presented to the reader so that the evolution of this category of intelligent systems can be evidenced. Finally, the features of the leading models and their applications are presented to the reader. We conclude that the fuzzy neural network models and their derivations are efficient in constructing a system with a high degree of accuracy and an appropriate level of interpretability working in a wide range of areas of economics and science.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
