Quadrature Rules for Fuzzy Integrals

Sparql Rules! Sparql Rules!

As the data and ontology layers of the Semantic Web stack have achieved a certain level of maturity in standard recommendations such as RDF and OWL, the current focus lies on two related aspects. On the one hand, the definition of a suitable query language for RDF, SPARQL, seems to be close to candidate recommendation status within the W3C. The establishment of the rules layer on top of the exi...

Computer Rules, Conversational Rules

There has been much controversy recently as to whether the rules of interaction discovered by conversation analysts are amenable to use by computers (Gilbert 1990; Hirst 1991; Luff, Gilbert, and Frohlich 1990). Button (1990) has argued that the rules of conversation are of a different ontological category than the rules used by computers, and that this means computers cannot be programmed to en...

Calibration of Hardening Rules for Cyclic Plasticity

In the realm of multi-axial ratcheting, a step by step mathematical approach is developed for the parameter determination of decomposed kinematic hardening rules. For this purpose, key characteristics are mathematically derived for these hardening rules under multi-axial loading. These characteristics are then utilized to develop expressions which relate the loading history to the accumulated p...

GENERATING FUZZY RULES FOR PROTEIN CLASSIFICATION

This paper considers the generation of some interpretable fuzzy rules for assigning an amino acid sequence into the appropriate protein superfamily. Since the main objective of this classifier is the interpretability of rules, we have used the distribution of amino acids in the sequences of proteins as features. These features are the occurrence probabilities of six exchange groups in the seque...
