The fuzzy C-means method is applied to find a number of central means for each continuous-valued feature and thus discretize such features. The ID3 algorithm is subsequently used to build a decision tree from the discretized data. Preliminary experiments using a real-world time-series data set from the Louisiana coast are reported that compare our method with the OC1 system for oblique decision tree learning. The experiment results seem to suggest that the proposed hybrid method achieves better or comparable classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

Besides introducing the architecture of the probabilistic fuzzy systems and the corresponding equations for calculating the input-output mapping, we summarize some key results from the probability theory and statistics on fuzzy sets. To show the working of the probabilistic fuzzy models introduced, we analyze a simulated GARCH time series using a data-driven approach. A probabilistic fuzzy rule-base is derived from the given data set containing rules that yield a rather good intuitive description of the underlying GARCH-process. Further, we show some additional results like the estimated regression plane and several (un)conditional probability distributions.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

The objective of alleviating users' burden of information overload is thus achieved.

This paper presents an interpolative reasoning method by exploiting the center of gravity (COG) property of the fuzzy sets concerned. The method works by first constructing a new inference rule via manipulating two given adjacent rules, and then by using similarity information to convert the intermediate inference results into the final derived conclusion. Two transformation operations are introduced to support such reasoning, which allow the COG of a fuzzy set to remain unaltered before and after the transformation. Results of experimental comparisons are provided to reflect the success of this work.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

However, unlike the conventional sliding mode control, SMFC eliminates chattering problem through the concept input-output mapping factor and behave like a linear controller in the neighborhood of its sliding manifold. To demonstrate the superiority of SMFC over SMC, we conducted simulation studies on balancing an inverted pendulum at its upright position in the presence model uncertainties and external disturbances.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

It demonstrates, by using Karl Popper's Falsificationism, the present approach to fuzzy sets (FSs) for words is scientifically incorrect. A new theory of fuzzy sets is then presented for words that is based on collecting data from people -person MFs-that reflect intra- and inter-levels of uncertainties about a word, and defines a word FS as the union of all such person fuzzy sets. It also demonstrates that intra-uncertainty about a word can be modeled using type-2 person fuzzy sets, and that inter-uncertainty about a word can be modeled by means of an equally weighted union of each person's type-2 fuzzy set. Finally, it proposes a methodology for obtaining a parsimonious parametric type-2 fuzzy set approximation to the aggregated type-2 person FSs. This new theory of fuzzy sets for words is testable and is therefore subject to refutation.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

Unlimited storage and perfect recall of noiseless real valued patterns has been proved for AMMs. However AMMs suffer from sensitivity to specific noise models, that can be characterized as erosive and dilative noise. On the other hand, spectral unmixing of hyperspectral images needs the prior definition of a set of endmembers, which correspond to material spectra lying on vertices of the minimum convex region covering the image data. These vertices can be characterized as morphologically independent patterns. We present a procedure based on the AMM noise sensitivity for endmember detection based on this characterization.","PeriodicalId":212172,"journal":{"name":"The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003.
