Though the hi-tech industry has focused on value innovation and improving the quality of the new product development (NPD) process to drive new product performance, new product success has not changed dramatically over the years. This study presents a novel approach based on structural equation modeling (SEM) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to forecast value innovation and the...

In this paper, a novel personalized feature combination scheme is proposed for face verification. ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) and SVM (Support Vector Machine) are adopted respectively to form specialized feature representation for each subject by fusing global and local features. Instead of the common way for different subjects, we realize a new representation that adapts to e...

In this paper river stage discharge models using Adaptive NeuroFuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Linear Multiple Regression (MLR) methods have been developed. This paper also investigates the best model to forecast river discharge. From the literature it is clear that ANN models and Fuzzy logic models are quite applicable on river stage discharge modelling. Hence this present study carried out...

Modeling human operator’s behavior as a controller in a closed-loop control system recently finds applications in areas such as training of inexperienced operators by expert operator’s model or developing warning systems for drivers by observing the driver model parameter variations. In this research, first, an experimental setup has been developed for collecting data from human operators as th...

The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) performance over Na-W-Mn/SiO2 at elevated pressures has been simulated by adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) using reaction data gathered in an isothermal fixed bed microreactor. In the designed neuro fuzzy models, three important parameters such as methane to oxygen ratio, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), and reaction temperature were conside...

This paper evaluates performances of an adaptive noise cancelling (ANC) based target detection algorithm on a set of real test data supported by the Defense Evaluation Research Agency (DERA UK) for multi-target wideband active sonar echolocation system. The hybrid algorithm proposed is a combination of an adaptive ANC neuro-fuzzy scheme in the first instance and followed by an iterative optimum...

To accurately estimate the state of charge of a lithium-ion battery pack used in electric vehicles, a neurofuzzy system is proposed. The subtractive clustering is used to determine the structure and the initial parameters of the neuro-fuzzy system to reduce heuristic errors. The algorithm of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference (ANFIS) is adopted to optimize the parameters of the neuro-fuzzy system. ...

Designing a reconfigurable manufacturing robotic workcell is a complex and resource demanding procedure. In this work a multi criteria index is introduced, allowing the designer to evaluate the various anatomies achieved by a reconfigurable manipulator, and to define the area in the manipulator’s configuration space where a task can be accomplished with good performance under the selected perfo...

A new impulsive noise (IN) elimination filter, entitled adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based IN removal filter (Anfis-F), which shows high performance at the restoration of images distorted by IN, is proposed in this paper. The Anfis-F comprises three main steps: finding the pixels that are suspected to be corrupted, the Delaunay triangulation, and finally, making estimation for intensit...
