Abstract

This work explores the integration of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) into a novel hybrid ANFIS-PINN framework. The proposed system aims to leverage the complementary strengths of both paradigms to address limitations inherent in individual approaches. ANFIS offers inherent interpretability, robust uncertainty handling, and adaptability to nonlinear relationships, applying the expert knowledge in the considered area, while PINN excels at incorporating physical laws, enhancing data efficiency, and improving generalization. The synergistic combination is envisioned to yield a more robust, interpretable, and physically consistent artificial intelligence (AI) solution, particularly for complex scientific and engineering problems characterized by nonlinearity, uncertainty, and sparse data, based on measurement data, a nonformal human expert's experience, and formal known physical laws. This paper details the foundational principles of ANFIS and PINN, outlines the compelling rationale for their integration, proposes several conceptual architectures and implementation strategies, and discusses the challenges and future directions for this promising hybrid AI paradigm.
