This article deals with the problem of uncertainty in rule-based systems (RBS), but from perspective quantum computing (QC). In this work we first remember characteristics Quantum Rule-Based Systems (QRBS), a concept defined previous by one authors paper, and introduce uncertainty. We assume that subjective affects facts classical RBSs can be treated as direct consequence probabilistic nature m...

This paper investigates existence and uniqueness results for the first order fuzzy integro-differential equations. Then numerical results and error bound based on the left rectangular quadrature rule, trapezoidal rule and a hybrid of them are obtained. Finally an example is given to illustrate the performance of the methods.

Neurules are a kind of hybrid rules that combine a symbolic (production rules) and a connectionist (adaline unit) representation. One way that the neurules can be produced is from training examples/patterns, extracted from empirical data. However, in certain application fields not all of the training examples are available a priori. A number of them become available over time. In those cases, u...

In this paper we present a feasibility study we conducted in a German county in order to assess the potential of a legal knowledge system in the domain of family law. The goals of this project were to describe the actual work processes, to propose optimized processes if needed and to develop a prototype. Our study was based on interviews, on two test cases submitted to clerks and on an online q...

Automatic analysis of poetic rhythm is a challenging task that involves linguistics, literature, and computer science. When the language to be analyzed is known, rule-based systems or data-driven methods can be used. In this paper, we analyze poetic rhythm in English and Spanish. We show that the representations of data learned from character-based neural models are more informative than the on...

Facial expression and hand gesture analysis plays a fundamental part in emotionally rich man-machine interaction (MMI) systems, since it employs universally accepted non-verbal cues to estimate the users’ emotional state. In this paper, we present a systematic approach to extracting expression related features from image sequences and inferring an emotional state via an intelligent rule-based s...

This paper demonstrates the enhancement in ;maintainability made possible by introducing metal-level control architectures to production systems. We msess t h e amount of eflort expended in upgrading a rule base through the range referred to b y maintenance staff f o r d e base upgrading.

Machine translation between closely related languages is less challenging and exhibits a smaller number of translation errors than translation between distant languages, but there are still obstacles which should be addressed in order to improve such systems. This work explores the obstacles for machine translation systems between closely related South Slavic languages, namely Croatian, Serbian...
