this paper firstly generalizes majority vote to fuzzy majority vote, then proposes a cluster matching algorithm that is able to establish correspondence among fuzzy clusters from different fuzzy partitions over a common data set. Finally a new combination model of fuzzy partitions is build on the basis of the proposed cluster matching algorithm and fuzzy majority vote. Comparative results show ...

This paper proposes a novel clustering algorithm for the structure learning of fuzzy neural networks. Our clustering algorithm uses the reward and penalty mechanism for the adaptation of the fuzzy neural networks prototypes at every training sample. Compared with the classical clustering algorithms, the new algorithm can on-line partition the input data, pointwise update the clusters, and self-...

The design of automatic systems dedicated to satellite image classification has received considerable attention. However, the current systems still cannot compare with human photo-interpreters. A promising approach consists in integrating structural knowledge into the classification process, i.e., using information about the shape of and the spatial relations between the regions that are to be ...

A fuzzy partition assigns to each among n objects a distribution over a categories. Elementary linear algebraic methods permit to introduce and investigate concepts and properties such as a) variance and inertia decomposition; b) coarseand fine-graining (nestedness); c) iteration of fuzzy partitions; d) stability of a group in regard to another partition; e) (euclidean embeddable) dissimilariti...

In this paper a class of hybrid-fuzzy models is presented, where binary membership functions are used to capture the hybrid behavior. We describe a hybrid-fuzzy identification methodology for nonlinear hybrid systems with mixed continuous and discrete states that uses fuzzy clustering and principal component analysis. The method first determines the hybrid characteristic of the system inspired ...

Let Covering be the category of fuzzy coverings, and Partition, partitions. We geometrically construct an isomorphism categories between Partition a full subcategory Covering, which can used to derive bijections partitions coverings with finitely many sets. Also, we establish Covering[n], n sets, whose objects are sets satisfy certain conditions.
