This paper proposes a complexity management methodology for fuzzy systems with feedback rule bases. The methodology is based on formal methods for presentation, manipulation and transformation of fuzzy rule bases. First, Boolean matrices are used for formal presentation of rule bases. Then, binary merging operations are used for formal manipulation of rule bases. Finally, repetitive merging ope...

In this paper fuzzy rule inconsistency resolution and fuzzy rule insertion methods are proposed for fuzzy neural networks. Necessity support and possibility support (referred to as support pair) are applied to detect and remove inconsistencies. In addition to the support pair, the concept of initial learning point is used to handle rule insertion. We demonstrate the use of the proposed methods ...

At present a great deal of research is being done in different aspects of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Image classification is one of the most important tasks in image retrieval that must be dealt with. The primary issue we have addressed is: how can the fuzzy set theory be used to handle crisp image data. We propose fuzzy rule-based classification of image objects. To achieve this goa...

We examine several formulations of fuzzy rule selection for the design of fuzzy rulebased classification systems in our twostage approach. The first stage is heuristic rule extraction where a large number of candidate rules are extracted. The second stage is evolutionary rule selection where fuzzy rule-based systems are constructed by choosing a small number of candidate rules. Rule selection i...

In this contribution we carry out an analysis of the Fuzzy Reasoning Methods for Fuzzy Rule Based Classification Systems in the framework of balanced and imbalanced data-sets with different degrees of imbalance. We analyze the behaviour of the Fuzzy Rule Based Classification Systems searching for the best type of Fuzzy Reasoning Method in each case, also studying the cooperation of some pre-pro...

In this paper performance of Puma 560 manipulator is being compared for hybrid gradient descent and least square method learning based ANFIS controller with hybrid Genetic Algorithm and Generalized Pattern Search tuned radial basis function based Neuro-Fuzzy controller. ANFIS which is based on Takagi Sugeno type Fuzzy controller needs prior knowledge of rule base while in radial basis function ...

The discovery of association rule acquire an imperative role in data mining since its inception, which tries to find correlation among the attributes in a database. Classical algorithms/procedures meant for Boolean data and they suffer from sharp boundary problem in handling quantitative data. Thereby fuzzy association rule (i.e., association rule based on fuzzy sets) with fuzzy minimum support...

Fuzzy rule based classification systems are one of the most popular fuzzy modeling systems used in pattern classification problems. This paper investigates the effect of applying nine different T-norms in fuzzy rule based classification systems. In the recent researches, fuzzy versions of confidence and support merits from the field of data mining have been widely used for both rules selecting ...
