We had presented fuzzy rule generation methods by Genetic Algorithm. In this paper, we propose three methods to determine rule pairs for crossover in GA for fuzzy rules generation in order to improve search e ciency and reduction of the number of rules. The rst two methods are that rule pairs are determined based on a distance between rules of two individuals to be crossed. The third one is tha...

This work proposes a classification-rule discovery algorithm integrating artificial immune systems and fuzzy systems. The algorithm consists of two parts: a sequential covering procedure and a rule evolution procedure. Each antibody (candidate solution) corresponds to a classification rule. The classification of new examples (antigens) considers not only the fitness of a fuzzy rule based on the...

The paper presents an evolutionary approach for generating fuzzy rule based classifier. First, a classification problem is divided into several two-class problems following a fuzzy unordered class binarization scheme; next, a fuzzy rule is evolved (not only the condition but the fuzzy sets are evolved (tuned) too) for each two-class problem using a Michigan iterative learning approach; finally,...

This paper discusses interpretability in two main categories of fuzzy systems fuzzy rule-based classifiers and interpolative fuzzy systems. Our goal is to show that the aspect of high level interpretability is more relevant to fuzzy classifiers, whereas fuzzy systems employed in modeling and control benefit more from low-level interpretability. We also discuss the interpretabilityaccuracy trade...

In practical signal detection scenarios, parameters of a random process are often uncertain. In this paper, we model such uncertainties as fuzzy parameters of a stationary random process. A fuzzy Neyman-Pearson hypothesis test concept which accepts any number of fuzzy parameters is presented. A suitable decision rule is developed by applying theory for ordering fuzzy numbers, and stated in term...

Due to its high performance and comprehensibility, fuzzy modelling is becoming more and more popular in dealing with nonlinear, uncertain and complex systems for tasks such as signal processing, medical diagnosis and financial investment. However, there are no principal routine methods to obtain the optimum fuzzy rule base which is not only compact but also retains high prediction (or classific...

Association rules shows us interesting associations among data items. It means that an association rule clearly defines that how a data item is related or associated with another data item. That is why these types of rules are called Association rules. And the procedure by which these rules are extracted and managed is known as Association rule mining. Classical association rule mining had many...

This paper is concerned with scheduling robotic flexible assembly cells (RFACs) using fuzzy logic (FL) technique. A new scheduling rule is developed and evaluated called fuzzy sequencing rule (FSR). A simulation program is used to examine the performance of the existing scheduling rules and the proposed rule with respect to multiple performance measures. Four performance measures considered sim...

In the 3eld of fuzzy modelling, the exclusive consideration of the modelling error leads to problems concerning the handling of high-dimensional applications and the interpretability of the resulting rule base. To solve those problems, a statistically motivated fuzzy rule test is proposed. It decides if a fuzzy IF=THEN statement is a relevant rule or not. In this way, the problem of 3nding a go...
