Please cite this article in press as: Talei, A., et a Expert Systems with Applications (2010), doi:10.1 Intelligent computing tools based on fuzzy logic and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been successfully applied in various problems with superior performances. A new approach of combining these two powerful AI tools, known as neuro-fuzzy systems, has increasingly attracted scientists in ...

This article deals with utilization of the combination of the fuzzy system and artificial intelligence techniques, called the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System ANFIS, with the aim to refine the diagnostic quality of the abdominal fetal electrocardiogram FECG. Within the scope of the experiments carried out and based on the ANFIS structure the authors created a complex system for removing th...

Toxicity of 38 aliphatic carboxylic acids was studied using non-linear quantitative structure-toxicityrelationship (QSTR) models. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was used to construct thenonlinear QSTR models in all stages of study. Two ANFIS models were developed based upon differentsubsets of descriptors. The first one used log ow K and LUMO E as inputs and had good predicti...

Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of FOS. Three ANFIS models were implemented including g...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) neurodevelopment Clinical decision-making process complex. Due to complex nature of sign and its symptoms clinical decision making may lead misclassification. To deal with such medical problems methods or approaches soft computing play an important role. This paper will focus on presenting integ...

Today, DC motors is still being used globally due to their easy speed controllability. In this article, an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller is designed for DC motors. The main purpose of performing such task is to reduce the DC motor starting current and deleting the ripple current during starting time in considering control parameters such as: rise time, settling time, ...

A new operator for restoring digital images corrupted by impulse noise is presented. The proposed operator is a hybrid filter obtained by appropriately combining a new decision based switching median filter Canny Edge Detector and a Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The internal parameters of the neuro-fuzzy network are adaptively optimized by training. The most distinctive feature...
