An Alternative Backward Fuzzy Rule Interpolation Method

چکیده

Fuzzy set theory allows for the inclusion of vague human assessments in computing problems. Also, it provides an effective means for conflict resolution of multiple criteria and better assessment of options. Fuzzy rule interpolation offers a useful means for enhancing the robustness of fuzzy models by making inference possible in sparse rule-based systems. However, in real-world applications of inter-connected rule bases, situations may arise when certain crucial antecedents are absent from given observations. If such missing antecedents were involved in the subsequent interpolation process, the final conclusion would not be deducible using conventional means. To address this issue, an approach named backward fuzzy rule interpolation and extrapolation has been proposed recently, allowing the observations which directly relate to the conclusion to be inferred or interpolated from the known antecedents and conclusion. As such, it significantly extends the existing fuzzy rule interpolation techniques. However, the current idea has only been implemented via the use of the scale and move transformation-based fuzzy interpolation method, which utilise analogical reasoning mechanisms. In order to strengthen the versatility and feasibility of backward fuzzy interpolative reasoning, in this paper, an alternative α-cut-based interpolation method is proposed. Two numerical examples and comparative studies are provided in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed work. An Alternative Backward Fuzzy Rule Interpolation Method

Towards Backward Fuzzy Rule Interpolation

Fuzzy rule interpolation (FRI) is well known for reducing the complexity of fuzzy models and making inference possible in sparse rule-based systems. However, in practical fuzzy applications with inter-connected rule bases, situations may arise when a crucial antecedent of observation is absent, either due to human error or difficulty in obtaining data, while the associated conclusion may be der...

Towards Fuzzy-Rough Rule Interpolation

Fuzzy rule interpolation is an important technique for performing inferences with sparse rule bases. Even when given observations have no overlap with the antecedent values of any rule, fuzzy rule interpolation may still derive a conclusion. Nevertheless, fuzzy rule interpolation can only handle fuzziness but not roughness. Rough set theory is a useful tool to deal with incomplete knowledge, wh...

Kóczy-Hirota Fuzzy Interpolation for Interpolation the Fuzziness in case of Double Fuzzy Dot Rule Representation

The Kóczy-Hirota Fuzzy Interpolation (“KH” method, Kóczy and Hirota, 1991) is the first method adapting the declarative way of fuzzy function definition and the related “fuzzy dot” rule representation by introducing the concept of Fuzzy Rule Interpolation (FRI). The original KH method had many followers. Most of the FRI methods have difficulties in freely defining the relation of the observatio...

A Saturation Based Interpolation Method for Fuzzy Systems

This paper presents an alternative inference-defuzzification algorithm for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems that preserves local-model interpretation and convexity properties. The linear model in the rule consequent is saturated outside the core set of the antecedent membership functions. This allows the interpretation of the consequents of fuzzy rules as a local linearization of the model restricte...

Comprehensive analysis of a new fuzzy rule interpolation method

The first published result in fuzzy rule interpolation was the α-cut based fuzzy rule interpolation, termed as KH fuzzy rule interpolation, originally devoted for complexity reduction. Some deficiencies of this method was presented later, such as subnormal conclusion for certain configuration of the involved fuzzy sets. However, since that several conceptually different fuzzy rule interpolation...
