This paper describes a fuzzy union based approach for automatically evaluating machine generated extract summaries. The proposed method represents every sentence within a machine generated summary as a fuzzy set. Sentences in the reference summary are assigned membership grades in each of these fuzzy sets using cosine distance measure. Finally Fuzzy union (s-norm operation) is used to compute a...

A fuzzy Bayesian approach helping the Internet user to filter Web pages is discussed. In the proposed approach, one page can be classified as having the continuous quality of being interesting, this means that a certain grade of membership can be associated with each page relative to a category of selection. Filtering is based on the evidences of the content of the page title, abstract or compl...

A neural network classifier is presented, which is based on geometrical fuzzy sets. Starting from the construction of the Voronoi diagram of the training patterns, an aggregation of Voronoi regions is performed leading to the identification of larger regions belonging exclusively to one of the pattern classes. The resulting scheme is a constructive algorithm that defines fuzzy clusters of patte...

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making algorithm for evaluating flexibility in a manufacturing system development. This evaluation problem is formulated as a multi-attribute decision-making model in a fuzzy environment and solved by a fusion method based on the MEOWA operators. While evaluating the degree of manufacturing flexibility (MF), one may find the need for improvin...

An extensive theoretical and qualitative literature stresses the promise of instructional practices and content aligned with the cultural experiences of minority students. Ethnic studies courses provide a growing but controversial example of such “culturally relevant pedagogy.” However, the empirical evidence on the effectiveness of these courses is limited. In this study, we estimate the causa...

A soft linen emulsion rate intelligent control system based on the domain interpolation algorithm with self adjusting is introduced. In the hemp textile industry, soft linen deal processes can directly affect its following process. We take the lead to use the fuzzy control method applied in soft linen emulsion rate of Intelligent Control System. In the research process, the improvement of produ...

|A novel technique of designing application speci c defuzzi cation strategies with neural learning is presented. The proposed neural architecture considered as a universal defuzzi cation approximator is validated by showing the convergence when approximating several existing defuzzi cation strategies. The method is successfully tested with fuzzy controlled reverse driving of a model truck. The ...

A fuzzy bag is a bag in which each occurrence of an element is associated with a grade of membership. This notion can be viewed as a generalization of the concepts of set, fuzzy set and bag. The set of fuzzy integers (Nf ) provides a general characterization in which all these different concepts are treated in a uniform way and can then be composed. In the field of databases, the use of fuzzy b...

Breast cancer is one of the most frequently occurring cancers amongst women throughout the world. After the diagnosis of the disease, monitoring its progression is important in predicting the chances of long term survival of patients. The Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI) is one of the most common indices used to categorise the patients into different groups depending upon the severity of the d...
