In this paper, an experimental evaluation of the neurofuzzy models NEFCLASS and FuNN is conducted in real world pattern recognition applications. The models are investigated with respect to classification performance and the number of rules generated and compared to the traditional MLP network trained with backpropagation. The models NEFCLASS and FuNN are examined in benchmarking problems from ...

Two important applications of rainfall-runoff models are forecasting and simulation. At present, rainfall-runoff models based on artificial intelligence methods are built basically for short-term forecasting purposes and these models are not very effective for simulation purposes. This study explores the applicability and effectiveness of adaptive neuro-fuzzy-system-based rainfall-runoff models...

Accurate prediction of solar activity as one aspect of space weather phenomena is essential to decrease the damage from these activities on the ground based communication, power grids, etc. Recently, the connectionist models of the brain such as neural networks and neuro-fuzzy methods have been proposed to forecast space weather phenomena; however, they have not been able to predict solar activ...

This paper proposes the application of Genetic Learning as a procedure for the optimal design and training of neuro-fuzzy systems. Once this learning procedure has been implemented, hybridization between Genetic Algorithms (GA) and the traditional local search technique is carried out to form a Hybrid Algorithm, in order to achieve the maximum possible efficiency in the search, and to be able t...

The purpose of this paper is to advocate and encourage the application of fuzzy-neuro algorithms in the risk assessment of Distributed Real-Time (DRT) systems, where object-oriented and formal techniques by means of UML-SDL models are used as knowledge (data) providers to the fuzzy-neuro analyser. The paper includes an introductory description of DRT systems and the presentation of the UML and ...

This paper describes a portfolio optimization system by using Neuro-Fuzzy framework in order to manage stock portfolio. It is great importance to stock investors and applied researchers. The proposed portfolio optimization approach Neuro-Fuzzy System reasoning in order to make a more yields from the stock portfolio, and hence maximize return and minimize risk of a stock portfolio through divers...

In this study two techniques, for modeling electricity consumption of the Jordanian industrial sector, are presented: (i) multivariate linear regression and (ii) neuro-fuzzy models. Electricity consumption is modeled as function of different variables such as number of establishments, number of employees, electricity tariff, prevailing fuel prices, production outputs, capacity utilizations, and...

Classical control theory is based on the mathematical models that describe the physical plant under consideration. The essence of fuzzy control is to build a model of human expert who is capable of controlling the plant without thinking in terms of mathematical model. The transformation of expert's knowledge in terms of control rules to fuzzy frame work has not been formalized and arbitrary cho...
