Evolving Fuzzy Detectives: An Investigation into the Evolution of Fuzzy Rules
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores the use of genetic programming to evolve fuzzy rules for the purpose of fraud detection. The fuzzy rule evolver designed during this research is described in detail. Four key system evaluation criteria are identified: intelligibility, speed, handling noisy data, and accuracy. Three sets of experiments are then performed in order to assess the performance of different components of the system, in terms of these criteria. The paper concludes: 1. that many factors affect accuracy of classification, 2. intelligibility and processing speed mainly seem to be affected by the fuzzy membership functions and 3. noise can cause loss of accuracy proportionate to the square of noise.

Industrial Monitoring by Evolving Fuzzy Systems
Industrial monitoring of complex processes with hundreds or thousands of variables is a hard task faced in this work through evolving fuzzy systems. The Visbreaker process of the Sines Oil Refinery is the case studied. Firstly dimension reduction is performed by multidimensional scaling, obtaining the process evolution in a three dimensional space. Then an evolving fuzzy system (eFS) is develop...
متن کاملEvolution of Fuzzy Rule Based Classifiers
The paper presents an evolutionary approach for generating fuzzy rule based classifier. First, a classification problem is divided into several two-class problems following a fuzzy unordered class binarization scheme; next, a fuzzy rule is evolved (not only the condition but the fuzzy sets are evolved (tuned) too) for each two-class problem using a Michigan iterative learning approach; finally,...
متن کاملDynamic Evolving Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System for Mortality Prediction
In this paper we propose a dynamic evolving neuro-fuzzy inference system (DENFIS) to forecast mortality. DENFIS is an adaptive intelligent system suitable for dynamic time series prediction. An Evolving Cluster Method (ECM) drives the learning process. The typical fuzzy rules of the neurofuzzy systems are updated during the learning process and adjusted according to the features of the data. Th...

This paper introduces a new type of fuzzy inference systems, denoted as DENFIS (dynamic evolving neural-fuzzy system), for adaptive on-line learning, and its application for dynamic time series prediction. DENFIS evolve through incremental, hybrid (supervised/unsupervised), learning and accommodate new input data, including new features, new classes, etc. through local element tuning. New fuzzy...
متن کاملGENERATING 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...
