However, when we have a group of robots or a set of experts, in other words, a collection of intelligents agents, where each has a graph, fuzzy cognitive map, ..., there are no formal techniques to specify different levels of knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a formal technique to represent different types of knowledge in a group of agents. An appropriate causal learning law for inductively inferring fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) from data is differential Hebbian law, which modifies causal connections by correlating time derivatives of FCM node outputs. An FCM describes causal relations between concepts, and are a form of knowledge representation far better than standard decision trees with graph search usually used in expert systems. In this article FCMs model the possible-worlds as a collection of classes and causal relations between classes. Our objective is to introduce a, novel form of knowledge acquisition using operators of modal logic of knowledge and belief and fuzzy cognitive maps.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"11 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":"126241825","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 original study and results of the raw score analysis are described. The raw score results are compared with analyses of fuzziness index derived from raw scores. Finally, a comparison of analyses of mean fuzziness index with analyses of the standard deviation of fuzziness index is made.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"17 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":"127909877","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 suggested method predicates on sequential subdivision of the fuzzy subspace, and the size of constructed fuzzy space is variable. Under this procedure, n-dimensional pattern space, after considering the distributional characteristic patterns, is partitioned into two different fuzzy subspaces. From the two fuzzy subspaces, the pattern space for further subdivision is chosen; then, this subdivision procedure recursively repeats itself until the stopping condition is fulfilled. The result of this study is applied to 2, 4, 7 band of satellite Landsat TM and satisfactory result is acquired.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"55 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":"132315173","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 robot uses a fuzzy logic controller and local navigation strategy. The basis for reactive navigation is provided by the concept of general perception which passes perceptual information of the sensors on to the fuzzy system without modeling walls or obstacles. Thus, no representation of the environment is needed. The rule base of the fuzzy system was designed by hand and then a genetic algorithm applied to find optimum membership functions so that the robot moves at constant distance to the wall, at high speed and as smoothly as possible. Optimization was done using a simulated robot. The results of this simulation proved satisfactorily close to reality when tested in a real robot.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"50 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":"134115406","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 a conventional fuzzy retrieval system, it is quite difficult for a user to obtain the most suitable results since the user cannot start with making up complete queries. In our retrieval system, if a user gives an estimation of fitting samples in a database which fit the user's requests, AND/OR operators in queries which are made up of fuzzy connectives are adjusted to represent the user's requests. With the adjusted parameters and a network for the query, this fuzzy retrieval system gives results which better satisfy the user's requests. The consistencies of samples are also discussed. Inconsistent samples are defined, and an extracting method for inconsistent samples is proposed. The effectiveness of this proposed fuzzy retrieval system is shown through an experiment.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":150477,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems.","volume":"216 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":"134537588","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}
