Learning Vector Quantization-Based Fuzzy Rules Oversampling Method

Imbalanced datasets are common in practical applications,and oversampling methods using fuzzy rules have been shown to enhance the classification performance of imbalanced data by taking into account the relationship between data attributes.However,the creation of fuzzy rules typically depends on expert knowledge,which may not fully leverage the label information in training data and may be subjective.To address this issue,a novel fuzzy rule oversampling approach is developed based on the learning vector quantization(LVQ)algorithm.In this method,the label information of the training data is utilized to determine the antecedent part of If-Then fuzzy rules by dynamically dividing attribute intervals using LVQ.Subsequently,fuzzy rules are generated and adjusted to calculate rule weights.The number of new samples to be synthesized for each rule is then computed,and samples from the minority class are synthesized based on the newly generated fuzzy rules.This results in the establishment of a fuzzy rule oversampling method based on LVQ.To evaluate the effectiveness of this method,comparative experiments are conducted on 12 publicly available imbalance datasets with five other sampling techniques in combination with the support function machine.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly enhance the classification algorithm across seven performance indicators,including a boost of 2.15%to 12.34%in Accuracy,6.11%to 27.06%in G-mean,and 4.69%to 18.78%in AUC.These show that the proposed method is capable of more efficiently improving the classification performance of imbalanced data.

An Intelligent Medical Expert System Using Temporal Fuzzy Rules and Neural Classifier

As per World Health Organization report which was released in the year of 2019,Diabetes claimed the lives of approximately 1.5 million individuals globally in 2019 and around 450 million people are affected by diabetes all over the world.Hence it is inferred that diabetes is rampant across the world with the majority of the world population being affected by it.Among the diabetics,it can be observed that a large number of people had failed to identify their disease in the initial stage itself and hence the disease level moved from Type-1 to Type-2.To avoid this situation,we propose a new fuzzy logic based neural classifier for early detection of diabetes.A set of new neuro-fuzzy rules is introduced with time constraints that are applied for thefirst level classification.These levels are further refined by using the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps(FCM)with time intervals for making thefinal decision over the classification process.The main objective of this proposed model is to detect the diabetes level based on the time.Also,the set of neuro-fuzzy rules are used for selecting the most contributing values over the decision-making process in diabetes prediction.The proposed model proved its efficiency in performance after experiments conducted not only from the repository but also by using the standard diabetic detection models that are available in the market.

An Improved SPSA Algorithm for System Identification Using Fuzzy Rules for Training Neural Networks

Simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation （SPSA） belongs to the class of gradient-free optimization methods that extract gradient information from successive objective function evaluation. This paper describes an improved SPSA algorithm, which entails fuzzy adaptive gain sequences, gradient smoothing, and a step rejection procedure to enhance convergence and stability. The proposed fuzzy adaptive simultaneous perturbation approximation （FASPA） algorithm is particularly well suited to problems involving a large number of parameters such as those encountered in nonlinear system identification using neural networks （NNs）. Accordingly, a multilayer perceptron （MLP） network with popular training algorithms was used to predicate the system response. We found that an MLP trained by FASPSA had the desired accuracy that was comparable to results obtained by traditional system identification algorithms. Simulation results for typical nonlinear systems demonstrate that the proposed NN architecture trained with FASPSA yields improved system identification as measured by reduced time of convergence and a smaller identification error.

Detection of Contamination Defect on Ice Cream Bar Based on Fuzzy Rule and Absolute Neighborhood

The contamination proposed in this paper is a defect on the surface of ice cream bar,which is a serious security threat.So it is essential to detect this defect before launched on the market. A detection method of contamination defect on the ice cream bar surface is proposed,which is based on fuzzy rule and absolute neighborhood feature. Firstly,the ice cream bar surface is divided into several sub-regions via the defined adjacent gray level clustering method. Then the alternative contamination regions are extracted from the sub-regions via the defined fuzzy rule. At last,the real contamination regions are recognized via the relationship between absolute neighborhood gray feature and default threshold. The algorithm was tested in the self-built image database SUT-D. The results show that the accuracy of the method proposed in this paper is 97.32 percent,which increases 2.68 percent at least comparing to the other typical algorithms. It indicates that the superiority proposed in this paper,which is of actual use value.

Recognizing Expression Variant and Occluded Face Images Based on Nested HMM and Fuzzy Rule Based Approach

The face recognition with expression and occlusion variation becomes the greatest challenge in biometric applications to recognize people. The proposed work concentrates on recognizing occlusion and seven kinds of expression variations such as neutral, surprise, happy, sad, fear, disgust and angry. During enrollment process, principle component analysis (PCA) detects facial regions on the input image. The detected facial region is converted into fuzzy domain data to make decision during recognition process. The Haar wavelet transform extracts features from the detected facial regions. The Nested Hidden markov model is employed to train these features and each feature of face image is considered as states in a Markov chain to perform learning among the features. The maximum likelihood for the input image was estimated by using Baum Welch algorithm and these features were kept on database. During recognition process, the expression and occlusion varied face image is taken as the test image and maximum likelihood for test image is found by following same procedure done in enrollment process. The matching score between maximum likelihood of input image and test image is computed and it is utilized by fuzzy rule based method to decide whether the test image belongs to authorized or unauthorized. The proposed work was tested among several expression varied and occluded face images of JAFFE and AR datasets respectively.

New Approaches to the Prognosis and Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Using Fuzzy Expert Systems

Breast cancer remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating effective early detection and prognosis to enhance patient outcomes. Current diagnostic methods, including mammography and MRI, suffer from limitations such as uncertainty and imprecise data, leading to late-stage diagnoses. To address this, various expert systems have been developed, but many rely on type-1 fuzzy logic and lack mobile-based applications for data collection and feedback to healthcare practitioners. This research investigates the development of an Enhanced Mobile-based Fuzzy Expert system (EMFES) for breast cancer pre-growth prognosis. The study explores the use of type-2 fuzzy logic to enhance accuracy and model uncertainty effectively. Additionally, it evaluates the advantages of employing the python programming language over java for implementation and considers specific risk factors for data collection. The research aims to dynamically generate fuzzy rules, adapting to evolving breast cancer research and patient data. Key research questions focus on the comparative effectiveness of type-2 fuzzy logic, the handling of uncertainty and imprecise data, the integration of mobile-based features, the choice of programming language, and the creation of dynamic fuzzy rules. Furthermore, the study examines the differences between the Mamdani Inference System and the Sugeno Fuzzy Inference method and explores challenges and opportunities in deploying the EMFES on mobile devices. The research identifies a critical gap in existing breast cancer diagnostic systems, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive, mobile-enabled, and adaptable solution by developing an EMFES that leverages Type-2 fuzzy logic, the Sugeno Inference Algorithm, Python Programming, and dynamic fuzzy rule generation. This study seeks to enhance early breast cancer detection and ultimately reduce breast cancer-related mortality.

This research proposes a machine learning approach using fuzzy logic to build an information retrieval system for the next crop rotation.In case-based reasoning systems,case representation is critical,and thus,researchers have thoroughly investigated textual,attribute-value pair,and ontological representations.As big databases result in slow case retrieval,this research suggests a fast case retrieval strategy based on an associated representation,so that,cases are interrelated in both either similar or dissimilar cases.As soon as a new case is recorded,it is compared to prior data to find a relative match.The proposed method is worked on the number of cases and retrieval accuracy between the related case representation and conventional approaches.Hierarchical Long Short-Term Memory(HLSTM)is used to evaluate the efficiency,similarity of the models,and fuzzy rules are applied to predict the environmental condition and soil quality during a particular time of the year.Based on the results,the proposed approaches allows for rapid case retrieval with high accuracy.

Mining Frequent Sets Using Fuzzy Multiple-Level Association Rules

At present, most of the association rules algorithms are based on the Boolean attribute and single-level association rules mining. But data of the real world has various types, the multi-level and quantitative attributes are got more and more attention. And the most important step is to mine frequent sets. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that is called fuzzy multiple-level association （FMA） rules to mine frequent sets. It is based on the improved Eclat algorithm that is different to many researchers’ proposed algorithms thatused the Apriori algorithm. We analyze quantitative data’s frequent sets by using the fuzzy theory, dividing the hierarchy of concept and softening the boundary of attributes’ values and frequency. In this paper, we use the vertical-style data and the improved Eclat algorithm to describe the proposed method, we use this algorithm to analyze the data of Beijing logistics route. Experiments show that the algorithm has a good performance, it has better effectiveness and high efficiency.

Modeling and applying credible interval intuitionistic fuzzy reciprocal preference relations in group decision making

Intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations are powerful techniques used to express uncertain preference information. However, simultaneously providing the exact priority and non-priority intensities could be difficult in real applications. A credible interval intuitionistic fuzzy number (CIIFN) is introduced and a credible interval intuitionistic fuzzy reciprocal preference relation (CIIFRPR) is developed to solve this issue. Unlike intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations, the new preference relations use the CIIFNs to express the preference information such that the decision makers simply provide the priority intensity with interval-valued numbers and calculate the non-preference intensity with the transformed method, which avoids a complex evaluation of non-priority information. Furthermore, some basic operations and comparison laws are investigated, based on which three credible interval intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators are proposed. Two models are presented to manage the group decision-making. Finally, a practical case is used to demonstrate the feasibility and reasonability of the proposed preference relations and aggregation operators. © 2017 Beijing Institute of Aerospace Information.

Selection of candidate wells for re-fracturing in tight gas sand reservoirs using fuzzy inference

An artificial-intelligence based decision-making protocol is developed for tight gas sands to identify re-fracturing wells and used in case studies. The methodology is based on fuzzy logic to deal with imprecision and subjectivity through mathematical representations of linguistic vagueness, and is a computing system based on the concepts of fuzzy set theory, fuzzy if-then rules, and fuzzy reasoning. Five indexes are used to characterize hydraulic fracture quality, reservoir characteristics, operational parameters, initial conditions, and production related to the selection of re-fracturing well, and each index includes 3 related parameters. The value of each index/parameter is grouped into three categories that are low, medium, and high. For each category, a trapezoidal membership function all related rules are defined. The related parameters of an index are input into the rule-based fuzzy-inference system to output value of the index. Another fuzzy-inference system is built with the reservoir index, operational index, initial condition index and production index as input parameters and re-fracturing potential index as output parameter to screen out re-fracturing wells. This approach was successfully validated using published data.

A Model of Cellular Automata for the Fuzzy Control of Aphids

Pesticides are substances used to prevent, destroy or mitigate any pest. We have adopted in this paper the Cellular Automata model to study the dispersion of the aphids in the block of citric trees using the pesticides (chemical control) and the biological agent (biological control). The main purpose of this research is the development of a simple and specific methodology to study Citrus Sudden Death (CSD). CSD is a disease that has affected sweet orange trees grafted on Rangpur lime in the state of S?o Paulo-Brazil. Some studies suggest that this disease has been caused by a virus and it is transmitted by insects known as aphids (vector). The ladybug was selected among the most known enemies of aphids in citrus in Brazil. In order to elaborate a predator-prey type of model to study the interaction between aphids (preys) and ladybugs (predators) in citriculture we have used a fuzzy rule-based system (FRBS). The states of the variables of the system (inputs) are the density of preys and the density of predators and their variations are the outputs. Therefore we take into account the effect of the wind in the space covered by the aphid, since the wind is important for the flight of the aphid as described in Peixoto et al. (2008) [1]. After, we used a FRBS to establish the relationship between the quantity of pesticides and the density of the preys. The simulations have been performed and have been compared between blocks with the presence of both aphids and ladybugs without the use of pesticides and the presence of them with the use of these ones using the Cellular Automata model. Numerical simulations allow us to foresee the behavior of the system, hence creating a spectrum of possibilities and proposing control techniques for different initial scenarios.

Precision control of inverter welding power sources by using T-S fuzzy systems

The functional relationship of approximation accuracy and number of fuzzy sets is used to find the rational balance point between the control accuracy and the control cost of fuzzy systems. This approach efficiently eliminates the drawback of rapid control cost increase caused by blind increase of fuzzy set number in practical engineering. The sufficient conditions for TS fuzzy systems as universal approximators are derived. A special T-S fuzzy system that satisfied these conditions is analyzed, and the simulation results show that when the number of fuzzy sets is increased moderately, the model parameters＇ training epochs can be effectually decreased while the model accuracy improved significantly. A practical welding power source controlled by a T-S fuzzy system is developed with satisfactory experimental results.

Hybrid approach for fuzzy system design

A hybrid approach for fuzzy system design based on clustering and a kind of neurofuzzy networks is proposed. An unsupervised clustering technique is firstly used to determine the number of if-then fuzzy rules and generate an initial fuzzy rule base from the given input-output data. Then, a class of neurofuzzy networks is constructed and its weights are tuned so that the obtained fuzzy rule base has a high accuracy. Finally, two examples of function approximation problems are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Additive-Multiplicative Fuzzy Neural Network and Its Performance

In view of the main weaknesses of current fuzzy neural networks such as low reasoning precision and long training time, an Additive Multiplicative Fuzzy Neural Network (AMFNN) model and its architecture are presented. AMFNN combines additive inference and multiplicative inference into an integral whole, reasonably makes use of their advantages of inference and effectively overcomes their weaknesses when they are used for inference separately. Here, an error back propagation algorithm for AMFNN is presented based on the gradient descent method. Comparisons between the AMFNN and six representative fuzzy inference methods shows that the AMFNN is characterized by higher reasoning precision, wider application scope, stronger generalization capability and easier implementation.

Integrated knowledge-based modeling and its application for classification problems

Knowledge discovery from data directly can hardly avoid the fact that it is biased towards the collected experimental data, whereas, expert systems are always baffled with the manual knowledge acquisition bottleneck. 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.
