A research on classification performance of fuzzy classifiers based on fuzzy set theory
Authors
Abstract:
Due to the complexities of objects and the vagueness of the human mind, it has attracted considerable attention from researchers studying fuzzy classification algorithms. In this paper, we propose a concept of fuzzy relative entropy to measure the divergence between two fuzzy sets. Applying fuzzy relative entropy, we prove the conclusion that patterns with high fuzziness are close to the classification boundary. Thus, it plays a great role in classification problems that patterns with high fuzziness are classified correctly. Meanwhile, we draw a conclusion that the fuzziness of a pattern and the uncertainty of its class label are equivalent. As is well known, entropy not only measures the uncertainty of random variable, but also represents the amount of information carried by the variable. Hence, a fuzzy classifier with high fuzziness would carry much information about training set. Therefore, in addition to some assessment criteria such as classification accuracy, we could study the classification performance from the perspective of the fuzziness of classifier. In order to try to ensure the objectivity in dealing with unseen patterns, we should make full use of information of the known pattern set and do not make too much subjective assumptions in the process of learning. Consequently, for problems with rather complex decision boundaries especially, under the condition that a certain training accuracy threshold is maintained, we demonstrate that a fuzzy classifier with high fuzziness would have a well generalization performance.

Data Representativeness Based on Fuzzy Set Theory
This paper presents an original definition of data representativeness. The representativeness of each datum in a dataset is a meaningful notion quantified by a degree computed by aggregating fuzzy subsets. These fuzzy subsets are obtained by fuzzifying data in a robust way. We illustrate the usefulness of the representativeness by presenting applications for statistical location estimation,and ...

This paper proposes a fuzzy classifier based on type-2 fuzzy sets to be applied in land cover classification. The classifier is built on the basis of the available data and considers the merging of information drawn from different experts. The data regard a thematic mapper representing the land cover of a real plain cultivated area. The experts are represented by different bands which classify ...
full textClassification Confidence Of Fuzzy Rule-Based Classifiers
In this paper we first introduce the concept of classification confidence in fuzzy rule-based classification. Classification confidence shows the strength of classification for an unseen pattern. Low classification confidence for an unseen pattern means that the classification of that pattern is not very clear compared to that with high classification confidence. Then we focus on the minimum cl...

The investigation of impact of fuzzy sets on zero forcing set is the main aim of this paper. According to this, results lead us to a new concept which we introduce it as Fuzzy Zero Forcing Set (FZFS). We propose this concept and suggest a polynomial time algorithm to construct FZFS. Further more we compute the propagation time of FZFS on fuzzy graphs. This concept can be more efficient to model...
