Fuzzy metagraphs describe the relationships between sets of fuzzy elements but not single fuzzy element and offer some distinct advantages both for visualization of systems, as well as for formal analysis of system structure. In rule based system, a fuzzy metagraph is a unity of the knowledge base and the reasoning engine. Based on the closure of the adjacency matrix of fuzzy metagraphs, this paper presented an optimized inferential mechanism working mainly by an off line approach. It can greatly increase the efficiency of inference. Finally, it was applied in a daignostic expert system and satisfactory results were obtained.展开更多

After studying ID3 and its improved methods, a new algorithm(Fuzzy ID3 ) and its main concepts are presented to overcome some disadvantage in classical ID3 algorithms. In its application of gate design, fuzzy knowledge gotten by the new algorithm is more efficient than the knowledge by other ID3 algorithms, the set of fuzzy knowledge is much smaller than that of knowledge by classical ID3 algorithms. On the other hand, fuzzy knowledge represents field data more naturally to the way of bar thinking and more robust in tolerating imprecise, conflicting and missing information展开更多

So it is believable that integrating the knowledge embedded in data and those possessed by experts can lead to a superior modeling approach. Aiming at the classification problems, a novel integrated knowledge-based modeling methodology, oriented by experts and driven by data, is proposed. It starts from experts identifying modeling parameters, and then the input space is partitioned followed by fuzzification. Afterwards, single rules are generated and then aggregated to form a rule base, on which a fuzzy inference mechanism is proposed. The experts are allowed to make necessary changes on the rule base to improve the model accuracy. A real-world application, welding fault diagnosis, is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.展开更多

To extract the process knowledge from an information system, an approach of knowledge modeling based on interval-valued fuzzy rough set is presented in this paper, in which attribute reduction is a key to obtain the simplified knowledge model. Through defining dependency and inclusion functions, algorithms for attribute reduction and rule extraction are obtained. The approximation inference plays an important role in the development of the fuzzy system. To improve the inference mechanism, we provide a method of similaritybased inference in an interval-valued fuzzy environment. Combining the conventional compositional rule of inference with similarity based approximate reasoning, an inference result is deduced via rule translation, similarity matching, relation modification, and projection operation. This approach is applied to the problem of predicting welding distortion in marine structures, and the experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods of knowledge modeling and similarity-based inference.展开更多
