The latter is considered as an appropriate indicator of the cardio-respiratory fitness and provides interesting information for many applications in the sports medicine context, however, this variable is not easy to measure out of a laboratory. Hence, this paper presents an alternative approach to the estimation of VO2 dynamics by means of fuzzy systems that use an input vector composed of three easy-to-obtain variables: Heart Rate, Work Rate, and Respiratory Rate measured in a clinical Cardiopulmonary-Exercise Testing. Two tuning strategies are compared: the well-known adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system and an evolutionary fuzzy system based on the differential evolution algorithm. Experimental results showed that both tuning strategies are capable of providing competitive solutions in terms of several regression indices.","PeriodicalId":151289,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123855784","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}

However, in a realworld situation, such precise observations are often unavailable in some cases. For example, readings on analogue measurement equipment are not precise numbers but intervals since there is only a finite number of decimals available. Hence, in this paper, we propose a more realistic problem called learning from imprecise observations (LIMO), where we train a classifier with fuzzy observations (i.e., fuzzy vectors). We prove the estimation error bound of this novel problem based on the distribution of fuzzy random variables. This bound demonstrates that we can always learn the best classifier when we have infinite fuzzy observations. We also develop a practical algorithm to train a classifier using fuzzy observations. The experiment results verify the efficacy of our theory and algorithm.","PeriodicalId":151289,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115401432","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}

Recognition of individual objects allows for further inference or analysis. Unfortunately, quite often the detection and recognition itself are difficult tasks. Especially if there are many different objects in the image, or if there is some noise. In this paper, we propose a method for extracting specific features from images. The proposition is a hybridization of two main tools - meta-heuristic and fuzzy system. At first, an objective function is created for a specific object, then the meta-heuristic is used for analyzing an image for finding the best features. The operation of creating an objective function and then interpreting the position of individuals in the metaheuristic is evaluated by a fuzzy controller. The use of fuzzy logic enables the creation of decision sets during data analysis. This is possible through the adaptive technique of improving the value of the membership functions in Takagi-Sugeno systems. A fuzzy approach shows great potential in analyzing the position in the image. The proposed feature extraction mechanism has been tested and discussed due to the possibility of using fuzzy logic as well as its hybridization with meta-heuristics.","PeriodicalId":151289,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126529748","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}

Furthermore, AEM stability is guaranteed according to Lyapunov by theorem III.1. Thereafter, the control law is proposed with the information obtained by AEM. The tracking error resulted from the closed-loop system is proved as a convergent sequence by Lemma IV.1. The main advantage results in a simple control scheme and low computational cost.

However, due to the dependencies among software requirements, selecting or ignoring a requirement may impact the values of others. But such Value Dependencies are imprecise and hard to capture; they have been ignored by the existing requirement selection methods, increasing the risk of value loss in software projects. To address this, we have proposed a fuzzy-based optimization method with two main components: (i) a fuzzy-based technique for modeling value dependencies and capturing their imprecision, and (ii) an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) model that takes into account value dependencies in software requirement selection. The scalability and effectiveness of the method in mitigating value loss are demonstrated through simulations.","PeriodicalId":151289,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130469937","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}
