This paper presents a new learning algorithm for the design of Mamdani-type or fully-linguistic fuzzy controllers based on available input-output data. It relies on the use of a previously introduced parametrized defuzzification strategy. The learning scheme is supported by an investigated property of the defuzzification method. In addition, the algorithm is tested by considering a typical non-...

This work presents the application of neuro-fuzzy techniques to develop a rule-based fuzzy system as an efficient and robust approach for object tracking based on sequences of video images. The fuzzy system is a new approach for data association problems in video image sequences, which uses JPDA formulation adapted to cope with video data peculiarities. The neurofuzzy learning algorithm uses ex...

An intrusion detection system’s main goal is to classify activities of a system into two major categories: normal and suspicious (intrusive) activities. Intrusion detection systems usually specify the type of attack or classify activities in some specific groups. The objective of this paper is to incorporate several soft computing techniques into the classifying system to detect and classify in...

In this paper, a novel self-generating neuro-fuzzy system through reinforcements is proposed. Not only the weights of the network but also the architecture of the whole network are all learned through reinforcement learning. The proposed neuro-fuzzy system is applied to the inverted pendulum system to demonstrate its performance. Key-words: reinforcement learning, neural network, neuro-fuzzy sy...

In the paper, a new optimal learning algorithm for a neo-fuzzy neuron (NFN) is proposed. The algorithm is characteristic in that it provides online tuning of not only the synaptic weights, but also the membership functions parameters. The proposed algorithm has both the tracking and filtering properties, so the NFN can be effectively used for prediction, filtering, and restoration of non-statio...

The integration of neural networks and fuzzy inference systems could be formulated into three main categories: cooperative, concurrent and integrated neuro-fuzzy models. We present three different types of cooperative neuro-fuzzy models namely fuzzy associative memories, fuzzy rule extraction using self-organizing maps and systems capable of learning fuzzy set parameters. Different Mamdani and ...

Fuzzy logic controls and neuro-fuzzy controls are accustomed to increase the performance of air conditioning system. In this paper, we are trying to provide the new design air conditioning system by exploitation two logics, namely fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy management. This paper proposes a set of rule and uses 2 inputs specifically temperature and humidness and 4 outputs specifically compress...

Maintenance plays now a critical role in manufacturing for achieving important cost savings and competitive advantage while preserving product conditions. It suggests moving from conventional maintenance practices to predictive strategy. Indeed the maintenance action has to be done at the right time based on the system performance and component Remaining Useful Life (RUL) assessed by a prognost...
