They mainly depend on the target variable to predict. In this context, ordinal classification represents an intermediate task, which is focused on the prediction of nominal variables where the categories follow a specific intrinsic order given by the problem. Nevertheless, the integration of different algorithms able to solve ordinal classification problems is often unavailable in most of existing Machine Learning software, which hinders the use of new approaches. Therefore, this paper focuses on the incorporation of an ordinal classification algorithm (NSLVOrd) in one of the most complete ordinal regression frameworks, 'Ordinal Regression and Classification Algorithms framework (ORCA)' by using both fuzzy rules and the JFML library. The use of NSLVOrd in the ORCA tool as well as a case study with a real database are shown where the obtained results are promising.", booktitle = "Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (Fuzz-IEEE2021)", doi = "10.1109/FUZZ45933.2021.9494526", editor = "IEEE", isbn = "978-1-6654-4407-1", issn = "1558-4739", keywords = "ORCA, Fuzzy ORCA, Fuzzy, JFML Library, NSLVOrd", month = "11th-14th July", organization = " Luxembourg, Luxembourg", publisher = "IEEE Press", title = "{E}nhancing the {ORCA} framework with a new {F}uzzy {R}ule {B}ase {S}ystem implementation compatible with the {JFML} library", url = "doi.org/10.1109/FUZZ45933.2021.9494526", year = "2021", }
