In this realm, the use of fuzzy rule base systems, particularly TSK, is widely extended. TSK rules combine the interpretability and expressiveness of rules with the ability of fuzzy logic for representing uncertainty, and the precision of the polynomials in the consequents. In this paper we present a new genetic fuzzy system to automatically learn accurate and simple linguistic TSK fuzzy rule bases that accurately model regression problems. In order to reduce the complexity of the learned models while keeping a high accuracy, we propose a Genetic Fuzzy System which consists of three stages: instance selection, multi-granularity fuzzy discretization of the input variables, and the evolutionary learning of the rule base using Elastic Net regularization. This proposal was validated using 28 real-world datasets and compared with three state of the art genetic fuzzy systems. Results show that our approach obtains the simplest models while achieving a similar accuracy to the best approximative models.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"77 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":"134255190","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}

Combining these techniques provides an enhanced capability of any decision support systems (DSS. This paper discusses a modular approach toward implementing Genetic Fuzzy system termed as “Genetic Fuzzimetric Technique” (GFT). The technique utilizes input importance factor to combine the modular structure into final decision process. The objective of this combination provides the ability of the system to interact and “take decision” in an environment in the same manner as the human decision maker would do. This proposed system is ideal in cases where mathematical modeling either does not exist or insufficient for appropriate decision making under uncertainty. Most of real life decision making processes are of that type of uncertainty. One such problem is to decide on the predicted GPA level for students during the admission process to the university. This is mainly dependent on High School (HS) performance, Sophomore Exam (SE) results and English exam (EEE) performance. Looking at the historical data of students, fuzzy logic can be used to develop rules based on these data. Genetic Algorithm would be used to optimize the performance of the system.","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":"131888220","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 MEG signals were recorded from different brain regions of four different human subjects during visual covert selective spatial attention task. The hybrid method proposes pre-processing; feature extraction by Hurst exponent, Morlet wavelet coefficients, and Petrosian fractal dimension; normalization; feature selection by p-value; and classification by support vector machine (SVM) and fuzzy support vector machine (FSVM). The results show that the proposed method can predict the location of the attended stimulus with a high accuracy of 91.62% and 92.28% for two different orientations with SVM and FSVM, respectively.

It is also the second leading cause of death among women around the world, becoming the most fatal form of cancer. However, to detect and classify masses is a hard task even for experts. Therefore, due to medical experience, different diagnoses to an image are commonly found. The use of a computer assisted diagnosis is important to avoid misdiagnoses. In this work, we propose Fuzzy Morphological Extreme Learning Machines, with hidden layer kernel based on nonlinear morphological operators of erosion and dilation. The proposed methods were evaluated using 2.796 images from IRMA database, considering fat, fibroid, dense and extremely dense tissues. Zernike Moments and Haralick texture features are used as image descriptors. The proposed model classifies masses as benign, malignant or normal. Results shows comparison between Extreme Learning Machines using Sigmoid and Fuzzy Morphological Kernels, evaluated using classification rate and Kappa index. When using fuzzy morphological kernels, classification rate and Kappa value increases for most of cases analyzed.","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":"133199569","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 diseases may deform the brain shape, and the deformed region differs among types of diseases. To evaluate the brain shape deformation, MR image registration (IR) has been used. There are some IR methods for brain MR images but they mainly use MR signal based likelihood. We cannot directly apply methods for adult brain to neonatal brain because there are large differences in MR signal distribution and brain shape. This paper focuses on neonatal brain MR images, and introduces a sulcus extraction method using Hessian matrix based on a feature called sulcal-distribution index (SDI). SDI is calculated from MR signal on the cerebral surface. Next, this paper proposes an iterative closest point (ICP) based brain shape registration method using the extracted sulci. The proposed method will be effective for neonatal brain in which the accurate delineation of cerebral surface is difficult because the method evaluates the correspondence of cerebral sulci distribution. Results in seven neonates (modified age was between 3 weeks and 2 years) showed that the method registered one brain with the other brain successfully.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"6 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":"116408126","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}
