Supplier selection is a key task for firms, enabling them to achieve the objectives of a supply chain. Selecting a supplier is based on multiple conflicting factors, such as quality and cost, which are represented by a multi-criteria description of the problem. In this article, a new approach based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is presented to overcome the supplier selection ...

A prediction model for methane production in a wastewater processing facility is presented. The model is built by data-mining algorithms based on industrial data collected on a daily basis. Because of many parameters available in this research, a subset of parameters is selected using importance analysis. Prediction results of methane production are presented in this paper. The model performanc...

This document presents an energy forecast methodology using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Genetic Algorithms (GA). The GA has been used for the selection of the training inputs of the ANFIS in order to minimize the training result error. The presented algorithm has been installed and it is being operating in an automotive manufacturing plant. It periodically communicates wit...

Short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. Although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . These results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...

Abstract: An adaptive identifier for neuro-fuzzy control system nonlinear dynamic object operating in conditions of uncertainty intrinsic properties and the environment. The algorithms of structural and parametric identification in real time are a combination of an identification algorithm coefficients of linear management and methods of the theory of interactive adaptation. Adaptive neuro-fuzz...

A new operator for restoring digital images corrupted by impulse noise is presented. The proposed operator is a hybrid filter obtained by appropriately combining a new decision based switching median filter Canny Edge Detector and a Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The internal parameters of the neuro-fuzzy network are adaptively optimized by training. The most distinctive feature...

The ability of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Neuro-Fuzzy neural networks to classify corn seed varieties based on mixed morphological and color Features has been evaluated that would be helpful for automation of corn handling. This research was done in Islamic Azad University, Shahr-e-Rey Branch, during 2011 on 5 main corn varieties were grown in different environments of Iran. A total of 12...

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy classifer for activity recognition using one triaxial accelerometer and feature reduction approaches. We use a triaxial accelerometer to acquire subjects’ acceleration data and train the neurofuzzy classifier to distinguish different activities/movements. To construct the neuro-fuzzy classifier, a modified mapping-constrained agglomerative clustering algorithm ...

This paper provides an overview to detect, locate, and characterize fault in structural and mechanical systems using various methods. Since last few decades experimentally measured frequencies has been extensively used to crack detection. The relationships between frequency changes and structural damage are discussed. Various reverse techniques proposed for detecting fault using natural frequen...

This paper proposes a neuro-fuzzy filter for equalization of time-varying channels. Additionally, it proposes to tune the equalizer with a hybrid algorithm between Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Bacteria Foraging (BFO), termed as GBF. The major advantage of the method developed in this paper is that all parameters of the neuro-fuzzy network, including the rule base, are tuned simultaneously throug...
