The detection system explores both qualitative and quantitative information extracted from spectral data with the aid of an advanced neuro-fuzzy identification model.

Thus, user selection amongst a set of items is dependent on the complex comparison of items based on a large number of imprecise item-attributes such as price, size, colour, etc. This paper proposes the mechanisms to underpin the digital replication of such complex preference-based item selection with the view to enabling improved digital item search and recommendation systems. For example, a user may query “I would like a product of similar size but at a cheaper price.” The proposed method involves splitting query-attributes into two categories; those to remain similar (e.g., size) and those to be changed in a specific direction (e.g., price - to be lower). A combination of similarity and distance measures is then used to compare and rank recommendations. Initial results are presented indicating that the proposed method is effective at ranking items according to intuition and expected user preferences.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"169 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":"114454228","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, the performance of PSO is strongly dependent on the choice of its settings. In this work we propose a novel and self-tuning PSO algorithm - called Proactive Particles in Swarm Optimization (PPSO) - which exploits Fuzzy Logic to calculate the best setting for the inertia, cognitive factor and social factor. Thanks to additional heuristics, PPSO automatically determines also the best setting for the swarm size and for the particles maximum velocity. PPSO significantly differs from other versions of PSO that exploit Fuzzy Logic, since specific settings are assigned to each particle according to its history, instead of being globally defined for the whole swarm. Thus, the novelty of PPSO is that particles gain a limited autonomous and proactive intelligence, instead of being simple reactive agents. Our results show that PPSO outperforms the standard PSO, both in terms of convergence speed and average quality of solutions, remarkably without the need for any user setting.","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":"114388053","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}

Part of the process of optimizing the resource allocation to tasks involves finding the optimum area for an engineer to operate within, which we term as work area optimization. Work area optimization in large businesses can have a noticeable impact on business costs, revenues and customer satisfaction. However when attempting to optimize the workforce in real world scenarios, mostly single objective optimization algorithms are used while employing crisp logic. Nevertheless, there are many objectives that need to be satisfied and hence multi-objective based optimization will be more suitable. Even where multi-objective optimization is employed, the involved systems fail to recognize that these real world problems are full of uncertainties. Type-2 fuzzy logic systems can handle the high level of uncertainties associated with the dynamic and changing environments, such as those presented with real world scheduling problems. This paper presents a novel multi-objective genetic type-2 Fuzzy Logic based System for the optimal allocation of mobile workforces to their working areas. The method has been applied in a real world service industry workforce environment. The results show strong improvements when the proposed multi-objective type-2 fuzzy genetic based optimization system was applied to the work area optimization problem as compared to the heuristic or type-1 single objective optimization of the work area. Such optimization improvements of the working areas will result in improving the utilization of the workforce.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"30 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":"127192805","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}

McCIT2FIS is employed to classify the samples as either interictal or ictal EEG segment as it has been shown to be capable of handling noisy data by virtue of Interval Type-2 fuzzy sets, and is good at classification because of its ability to handle complex-valued data. Further, we have also shown that the feature selected using SBMLR can be successfully mapped back to the channels allowing us to identify the epileptogenic regions of the brain. The performance of the McCIT2FIS was also compared with the support vector machines and the results indicate that McCIT2FIS is better capable of detecting seizure based on EEG signals.","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":"127252697","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}

Karnik-Mendel Algorithms (KMAs) have been usually employed to perform these operations. In KMAs, these operations are defined as nonlinear optimization problems which are solved iteratively by finding the optimal Switching Points (SPs). In this study, we will transform these operations into Linear Fractional Programming (LFP) problems and solve them with the aids of the well-developed Linear Programming (LP) theory. It will be shown that there exists a direct relationship between the SPs of the KMAs and the solution vectors of the defined LFP problems. Thus, the meaning of the SPs will be revealed in the framework of LFP theory and the KMA will be connected a LFP method. We will then present two novel LP based TR methods which only use and employ basic built-in LP functions. Thus, these LP based TR methods will be very helpful in employing type-2 fuzzy sets and systems in different programming languages. Moreover, by taking account the connection of LFP to KMAs, a computationally efficient LP based TR method will be proposed. It will be proven that this LP based TR method can be seen as a kind of variation of the KMA (or vice versa). Simulation results have been presented to show the superiority of the LP based TR method in comparison to the KMA and Enhanced KMA.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"46 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":"124834853","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 this paper we propose the implementation of a fuzzy logic based model called Fuzzy Social Force Model, capable to model and simulate crowd behavior. The proposed model translate the forces modeled by SFM equations into desire and interaction effects described by linguistic expression rules and fuzzy sets. This novel model is easier to parameterize and to extend and it presents the same emerging behaviors of the SFM but with a better interpretability.
