This paper introduces aggregation operators that can be hierarchically applied to combine weighted design attributes so that the structure of the design problem is appropriately modeled.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124283573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method is driven by chaotic dynamics, employing a facial expression model constructed on fuzzy associative memories. User's creativity support regarding expressions is provided by clarifying the image through repetition of the following procedures. First, a user is shown a facial expression candidate by chaotic retrieval from a fuzzy associative memory network. The user then selects an appropriate candidate and changes the external input to the network. Computer simulation results for actual facial expression data show that this method is an effective creativity support. A leaning method is also described, in which facial expressions obtained from creativity support are memorized in the facial expression model.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127133918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many search algorithms, this uncertainty simply is ignored by using only the resulting (crisp) value. It is assumed that the consideration of this uncertainty in search algorithms will give better results. The paper presents methods and an application which allow one to represent and to process uncertainty and imprecision. A new application of fuzzy numbers in relation to search algorithms and heuristics is proposed. The evaluation functions do not supply a simple crisp value, but a fuzzy number representing the uncertainty of the evaluation of the problem state. The consequences of applying fuzzy numbers for search algorithms are discussed (a new back-up paradigm, new priority relations between alternative possibilities evaluated by fuzzy numbers). First results and experiences in using this search algorithm in a chess program are finally given.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125524364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary objectives were to deploy the Italian satellite weighing 525 kg to a distance of 20 km above the Space Shuttle by means of a conducting tether, to acquire necessary scientific and operational data, and to retrieve the satellite to the shuttle for reuse. Learning experiments were performed during deployment phase where GARIC learned to maintain a tighter dead-band in a small number of trials. The performance of this controller is compared with a controller which uses conventional control theory, and a non-adaptive fuzzy controller. Our results, which were obtained with the Orbital Operations Simulator (OOS) system, demonstrate that more difficult tasks can be learned by a controller based on fuzzy reinforcement learning.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"508 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115342385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the literature, several similarity measures have been proposed that may be broadly categorized as: (1) metric based, (2) set-theoretic based, and (3) decision-theoretic based measures. In each category, measures based on crisp logic as well as fuzzy logic are available, In some applications such as image databases, measures based on fuzzy logic would appear to be naturally better suited, although so far no comprehensive experimental study has been undertaken. In this paper, we report results of some of the experiments designed to compare various similarity measures for application to image databases. We are currently working with texture images and intend to work with face images in the near future. As a first step for comparison, the similarity matrices for each of the similarity measure is computed over a set of selected textures and are presented as visual images. Comparative analysis of these images reveals the relative characteristics of each of these measures. Further experiments are needed to study their sensitivity to small changes in images such as illumination, magnification, orientation etc. We describe these experiments (sensitivity analysis, transition analysis etc.) that are currently in progress.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"286 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114257804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First crisp decision tables (DTs) are defined, and the construction and consultation of decision tables are described. Next, fuzzy extensions are made to crisp decision tables in order to deal with imprecision and uncertainty. As a result, with crisp DTs as special cases, a form of fuzzy decision tables (FDTs) is defined which include fuzziness in the conditions as well as in the actions. Consequently, the concept of completeness is introduced in the context of FDTs. Furthermore, fuzzy consultation of decision tables is discussed, which allows decision making with fuzziness based on the matching between fuzzy conditions and the concept of fuzzy logical implication.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128302844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
