In the solution, it is assumed that the uncertainty measure is modeled by the possibilistic necessity measure. The method presented allows the modeling of the effect of a user defined certainty threshold for belief propagation, and utilization of a partially inconsistent knowledge base. An efficient computation method is presented which is applicable for knowledge in a certain simple form, typically satisfied by a taxonomic knowledge base. The deductive system implemented by this method deals properly with cycles, and is both sound and complete.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":222263,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130651551","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}

Distributed representation is implemented by superimposing many fuzzy rules corresponding to different fuzzy partitions of a pattern space. This means that many fuzzy rule tables are simultaneously employed, corresponding to different fuzzy partitions in fuzzy inference. To apply distributed representation of fuzzy rules to pattern classification problems, the authors first propose an algorithm to generate fuzzy rules from numerical data. Next they propose a fuzzy inference method using the generated fuzzy rules. The classification power of distributed representation was compared with that of ordinary fuzzy rules which can be viewed as a local representation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":222263,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126886353","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}

Combined sewers carry both sanitary sewage and storm runoff. The problem considered is the real-time control of the CSOs, which consist of about 160 km of interconnected pipes ranging from 0.3 m to 3.6 m in diameter. A fuzzy logic controller has been designed for a three-reservoir subsystem representing the most common connection in the combined sewer systems. This application of fuzzy logic control on the three-reservoir system suggests that ii is quite promising for online control and minimization of CSOs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":222263,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126322723","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}

A number of issues arise in neural network research in the handling of uncertain or fuzzy information. These can be divided into several areas: input data; propagation of results through the network: and interpretation of final results. In terms of the fuzzy implementation of neural networks each area is discussed in turn, with possible approaches summarized for each. The introduction of fuzzy input causes substantial problems in most neural network learning algorithms. The learning algorithm must be able to handle interval data. A number of approaches to this problem are outlined. These fall into two main categories: (1) introduction of a preprocessor of some sort in order to handle the fuzzy input; and (2) direct modification of the learning algorithm to handle interval data.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":222263,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115889399","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 process for obtaining inferences in fuzzy production systems described by a base of linked fuzzy conditional statements is characterized by a very high number of operations to be performed.

The values summarize the relationship between the linguistic values associated with the variables, which establish links between fuzzy conditional statements. As a consequence, an important reduction in the computation time and in the storage memory requirements can be achieved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":222263,"journal":{"name":"[1992 Proceedings] IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115530986","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}
