Based on the optimization model, an improved genetic algorithm applied to knowledge acquisition of a network fault diagnostic expert system is proposed. The algorithm applies operators such as selection, crossover and mutation to evolve an initial population of diagnostic rules. Especially, a self adaptive method is put forward to regulate the crossover rate and mutation rate. In the end, a knowledge acquisition problem of a simple network fault diagnostic system is simulated, the results of simulation show that the improved approach can solve the problem of convergence better.展开更多

Crude rules were extracted and the corresponding dependent factors and antecedent coverage factors were calculated firstly from the diagnostic sample based on rough sets theory. Then the number of rules was used to construct partially the structure of a fuzzy neural network and those factors were implemented as initial weights, with fuzzy output parameters being optimized by genetic algorithm. Such fuzzy neural network was called KBFNN. This KBFNN was utilized to identify typical faults of rotating machinery. Diagnostic results show that it has those merits of shorter training time and higher right diagnostic level compared to general fuzzy neural networks.展开更多

Howerver , the assumption is not always the case because the information about whether a component is faulty or not usually influences our knowledge about other components. Some experts may draw such a conclusion that 'if component m 1 is faulty, then component m 2 may be faulty too'. How can we use this experts' knowledge to aid the diagnosis? Based on Kohlas's probabilistic assumption-based reasoning method, we use Bayes networks to solve this problem. We calculate the posterior fault probability of the components in the observation state. The result is reasonable and reflects the effectiveness of the experts' knowledge.展开更多

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
