This paper presents the architecture and learning procedure underlying ANFIS (Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System), a fuzzy inference system implemented in the framework of adaptive networks. By using a hybrid learning procedure, the proposed ANFIS can construct an input-output mapping based on both human knowledge (in the form of fuzzy if-then rules) and stipulated input-output data ...

The prediction of groundwater quality is very important for the management of water resources and environmental activities. The present study has integrated a number of methods such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies to predict groundwater quality in Kerman plain (including HCO3-, concentrations and Electrical Conductivity (EC) of groundwater)...

In this paper, an Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based control is proposed for the tracking of a Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) gyroscope sensor. The ANFIS is used to train parameters of the controller for tracking a desired trajectory. Numerical simulations for a MEMS gyroscope are looked into to check the effectiveness of the ANFIS control scheme. It proves that the sy...

While recommender systems are in widespread use, they still experience problems. Many recommender systems produce recommendations which the customers find unsatisfactory. Further, these systems often suffer from problems when there are not enough participants, or when new products enter the system. We perceive an opportunity for knowledge-based recommender systems to gain leverage on recommenda...

suitable soil structure is important for crop growth. one of the main characteristics of soil structure is the size of soil aggregates. there are several ways of showing the stability of soil aggregates, among which the determination of the median weight diameter of soil aggregates is the most common method. in this paper, a method based on adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (anfis) was used...

How to measure gain from the use of intelligent inference ? How can the complexity of the recognition/ classification task be estimated? What is the type of evidence which best suits an .inference mechanism? These questions are addressed here in their theoretical and methodological aspects. Their practical implications are demonstrated with 'real' crop mapping task. For this purpose, simple rul...

In order to perform Preventive Maintenance (PM), two approaches have evolved in the literature. The traditional approach is based on the use of statistical and reliability analysis of equipment failure. Under statistical-reliability (S-R)-based PM, the objective of achieving the minimum total cost is pursued by establishing fixed PM intervals, which are statistically optimal, at which to replac...
