This paper presents a technique for adapting control parameter settings associated with genetic operators. Its principal features are: 1) the adaptation takes place at the individual level by means of fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) and 2) the fuzzy rule bases used by the FLCs come from a separate genetic algorithm (GA) that coevolves with the GA that applies the genetic operator to be controlle...

|This paper presents a new operator called adaptive operator for the Pseudo-Bacterial Genetic Algorithm (PBGA). The PBGA was proposed by the authors as a new approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with a local improvement mechanism inspired by a process in bacterial genetics. The PBGA was applied for the discovery of fuzzy rules. The aim of the newly introduced adaptive operator is to impr...

An important issue in the design of FRBS is the formation of fuzzy if-then rules and the membership functions. This paper presents a Mixed Genetic Algorithm (MGA) approach to obtain the optimal rule set and the membership function of the fuzzy classifier. While applying genetic algorithm for fuzzy classifier design, the membership functions are represented as real numbers and the fuzzy rules ar...

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,...

The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

In this paper, we study some properties of intuitionistic fuzzy tautological matrix using intuitionistic fuzzy implication operator.

In this paper, the Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problems is based on the attribute weights calculated from completely unknown information using the Maximal Entropy OWA weights. The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (IIFOWA) operator is utilized to aggregate all individual interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices provided by the dec...

The fuzzy k-Modes algorithm introduced by Huang and Ng [Huang, Z., & Ng, M. (1999). A fuzzy k-modes algorithm for clustering categorical data. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 7(4), 446–452] is very effective for identifying cluster structures from categorical data sets. However, the algorithm may stop at locally optimal solutions. In order to search for appropriate fuzzy membership matrices...
