This paper proposes a neural network for building and optimizing fuzzy models. The network can be regarded both as an adaptive fuzzy inference system with the capability of learning fuzzy rules from data, and as a connectionist architecture provided with linguistic meaning. Fuzzy rules are extracted from training examples by a hybrid learning scheme comprised of two phases: rule generation phas...

In this paper, a newasymmetry-similarity-measure-based neural fuzzy inference system (ASM-NFIS) is proposed. A pseudo-Gaussian membership function can provide a neural fuzzy inference system which has a higher flexibility and can approach the optimized result more accurately. An on-line self-constructing learning algorithm is proposed to automatically construct the ASM-NFIS. It consists of stru...

Type-2 fuzzy set theory is one of the most powerful tools for dealing with the uncertainty and imperfection in dynamic and complex environments. The applications of type-2 fuzzy sets and soft computing methods are rapidly emerging in the ecological fields such as air pollution and weather prediction. The air pollution problem is a major public health problem in many cities of the world. Predict...

The Existence of crack in a structure leads to local flexibility and changes  the stiffness and dynamic behavior of the structure. The dynamic behavior of the cracked structure depends on the depth and the location of the crack. Hence, the changes in the dynamic behavior in the structure due to the crack can be used for identifying the location and depth of the crack. In this study the first th...

Evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. Although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. This paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...

This work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. Considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. By linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. The linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. The uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

Purpose Respiratory motion prediction is a chaotic time series prediction problem. In this study, respiratory motion predictability from 12 traces from breast cancer patients is examined by using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Interval Type-2 Non Singleton Fuzzy System (IT2NSFLS). Methods Free breathing data curves were obtained from Real Time Position Management system (RPM ...

Ranking of a company's financial information is one of the most important tools for identifying strengths and weaknesses and identifying opportunities and threats outside the company. In this study, it is attempted to examine the financial statements of companies to rank and explain the transparency of financial information of 198 companies during 2009-2017 using artificial intelligence and neu...

Information extraction from satellite images is a challenging task. This is because of the associated uncertainty arising out of improper capture and subsequent transfer. Fuzzy systems are suitable for such applications because of the fact that these have the ability to capture minute variations in the patterns presented. Fuzzy systems are expert decision making tools that require support from ...

Objective: Pomegranate juice is a fruit native to Iran because of attractive color, smell and value of mineral water is popular fruits in the world. Pomegranate juice has more nutritional value is due to a combination of anthocyanins that reduce the risk of diseases such as cancer. Processes Feta membrane such as microfiltration 1 and 2 are used to clarify beer industry. Methods: The advantage ...
