However, for most kernel methods, one must still choose a kernel to use for the problem. Since there is, in general, no way of knowing which kernel is the best, multiple kernel learning (MKL) is a technique used to learn the aggregation of a set of valid kernels into a single (ideally) superior kernel. The aggregation can be done using weighted sums of the pre-computed kernels, but determining the summation weights is not a trivial task. A popular and successful approach to this problem is MKL-group lasso (MKLGL), where the weights and classification surface are simultaneously solved by iteratively optimizing a min-max optimization until convergence. In this work, we propose an ℓp-normed genetic algorithm MKL (GAMKLp), which uses a genetic algorithm to learn the weights of a set of pre-computed kernel matrices for use with MKL classification. We prove that this approach is equivalent to a previously proposed fuzzy integral aggregation of multiple kernels called fuzzy integral: genetic algorithm (FIGA). A second algorithm, which we call decision-level fuzzy integral MKL (DeFIMKL), is also proposed, where a fuzzy measure with respect to the fuzzy Choquet integral is learned via quadratic programming, and the decision value-viz., the class label-is computed using the fuzzy Choquet integral aggregation. Experiments on several benchmark data sets show that our proposed algorithms can outperform MKLGL when applied to support vector machine (SVM)-based classification.","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":"127600961","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}

Various successful methods and techniques have been developed so far that perform some sort of classification of current data in order to predict future unseen cases.

In this paper we are proposing a Hierarchical perspective to Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning (FIR) method as a classifier, in order to provide more insights for experts to the predictive model offered by FIR. Also, This method puts a hierarchical constrain on FIR's generalization which might be useful in finding and predicting exceptional cases of data that don't follow the general rule offered by the model.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"47 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":"128014030","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 prametric is an `almost metric' which does not necessarily satisfy the triangle inequality but able to describe the consensus intransitivity in GDM. This paper considers the procedure under a linguistic situation, where the individuals preferences are provided as linguistic preference relations. The procedure contains two main stages. The first stage looks for the individual's ties-permitted ordinal rankings from the individual's opinions. In order to do this, we introduce an acceptable consistency criterion for linguistic preference relations and show some related properties. If the linguistic preference relation is acceptable, we then obtain the ties-permitted ordinal ranking directly. Otherwise, the ties-permitted ordinal ranking will be deduced by minimizing a consensus gap. The second stage looks for the final solution sets of alternatives by minimizing the gap between a potential solution and the rankings obtained in the first stage. Some illustrative examples are included.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"33 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":"121480396","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 proposed incremental RBFN model has a composite structure that consists of one initial linear sub-model and a number of incremental sub-models, each of them being able to gradually decrease the overall approximation error of the model, until a desired accuracy is achieved. The identification of the entire incremental RBFN model is divided into a series of identifications steps applied to smaller size sub-models. At each identification step the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) with constraints is used to optimize the small number of parameters of the respective sub-model. A synthetic nonlinear test example is used in the paper to analyze the performance of the proposed multistep learning algorithm for the incremental RBFN model. A real wine quality data set is also used to illustrate the usage of the proposed incremental model for solving nonlinear classification problems. A brief comparison with the classical single RBFN model with large number of parameters is conducted in the paper and shows the merits of the incremental RBFN model in terms of efficiency and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"117 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":"122641152","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 hesitancy in the opinion of the experts appear due to incomplete information available regarding x. Therefore, precise estimation of its both membership value and non-membership value becomes highly difficult. Hence, there is a high chance that both membership value and the non-membership value assigned to x by the expert may not be absolutely correct. So, whenever we try to measure similarity between the IFSs using the various distance measures involving all the components of IFSs like membership value, non-membership value together with hesitation, then we often notice that all of them fails to describe the underlying situation completely. Therefore, the similarity measures derived from these distance measures also fails to produce good results. So, we introduce a new similarity measure by properly defining a similarity degree through the result established in this paper. The similarity measure has a central role in developing a modified λ-cutting algorithm for clustering. Here we also establish the efficacy of our modified λ-cutting algorithm while implementing it on a real world data set.","PeriodicalId":185191,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"13 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":"123297521","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}
