It can be described as the process of dividing or grouping a set of data into classes of similar objects. The main goal of this paper is to develop an enhanced fuzzy clustering algorithm which determines the optimal number of clusters based on the detection of the two maximum values to split the worst clusters. For this, we use a new method incrementing the number of clusters in the main loop of an iterative clustering algorithm. Experimental results and comparisons are given to illustrate the performance of the new splitting method compared to the iterative one.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127481472","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 practice, however, we usually only have a partial information about these probabilities: we may have an interval (or, more generally, fuzzy) uncertainty about these probabilities. In this paper, we show how to efficiently estimate the expected shortfall under such interval and/or fuzzy uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128114064","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}

Simultaneously, sliding mode control (SMC) used to handle the system uncertainties and external disturbances. Simulation performed using a scaled 3-D mathematical model of the crane confirm that the proposed control scheme can keep the horizontal position of the payload invariable and suppress the swing of the payload effectively during the hoisting or lowing process.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125284994","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 paper combines their collective advantage to propose a complex-valued Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Inference System (referred to as CIT2FIS). To derive the fuzzy rules, a Recursive Least Squares based algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm evolves (add/ prune) and adapts the rules in an evolving online fashion. During sequential learning, the network monitors the error and knowledge contained in the current sample and either rules are evolved (added, pruned) to capture the knowledge in the sample, or the rule parameter updated. Upon rule addition, the centers are determined based on the current input and the output weights are analytically determined such that a least squares fit is obtained. This ensures that the rule retain its interpretability and accuracy. Parameter update is based on recursive least squares based approach. In order to maintain the parsimony of the network, a data-driven rule pruning scheme is employed. To further enhance the generalization ability of the network, wellknown meta-cognitive learning mechanism is employed in this work. The performance of the proposed CIT2FIS is evaluated on a set of real-valued classification problems. The performance comparison with other state-of-the-art complex-valued as well as fuzzy classifiers clearly highlights the advantage of the proposed work.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115945621","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}

On one hand, these data may be subject to imperfections, on the other hand, users may employ imperfect query preference specifications to query such databases. All of these imperfections lead to each query answer being accompanied by a collection of quantifications indicating how well (part of) a group of data complies with (part of) the user's query. A fundamental question is how to present the user with the query answers complying best to his or her query preferences. The work presented in this paper first determines the difficulties to overcome in reaching such presentation. Mainly, a useful presentation needs the ranking of the query answers based on the aforementioned quantifications, but it seems advisable to not combine quantifications with different interpretations. Thus, the work presented in this paper continues to introduce and examine a novel technique to determine a query answer ranking. Finally, a few aspects of this technique, among which its computational efficiency, are discussed.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121590990","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}

Fastness addresses the assurance that a newly arising class in the stream can be integrated in a way such that the classifier is able to correctly return the new class after receiving only a few training samples of it. Economic means that the classifier update cycles are decreased to a minimum amount of time, as these require operator's feedback for obtaining the ground truth labels, which are usually costly to obtain. The former is achieved by a class-decomposition approach, which splits up multi-class classification problems into several less imbalanced and less complex binary sub-problems. The latter is achieved by a single-pass active learning selection scheme which selects the most informative samples based on sample-wise criteria. The approach is compared with conventional single model architecture for EFC (EFC-SM) based on two data streams from a real-world application in the field of surface inspection. The comparison shows that the class decomposition approach can significantly reduce the delay of class integration, and this with a lower # of samples used for model updates than EFC-SM.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116869044","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}

These models overcome limitations of existing ICs that do not consider the inductive inference assumption intuitively assumed by human operators, i.e. that occurrences of a concept (e.g. Maths) not only impact the IC of more general concepts (e.g. Sciences), as considered by traditional IC models, but also the one of more specific concepts (e.g. Algebra). Interestingly, empirical evaluations show that, in addition to modelling the aforementioned assumption, proposed IC models compete with best state-of-the-art models in several evaluation settings.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123530685","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}
