Abstract A method for rule extraction from neural networks based on the functional point of view is studied. The key algorithms are introduced, including the sort and selection of features, the discretization of continuous attributes, the generation of training samples of neural network (NN), the training of NN, the generation of the instance samples from the trained NN, and the rule extraction. The UCI data and the population classifying data are used to verify the rule extraction method. The results show the correction and effectivity of the proposed method.
