Mortality rate from this cancer is effectively high and rapidly increasing. The detection at the earlier state can help to reduce the mortality rate. In this paper, we develop a system that helps radiologists to detect microcalcification in mammograms. In particular, we apply the interval type-2 fuzzy logic system with four features, i.e., B-descriptor, D-descriptor, average intensity inside boundary, and intensity difference between inside and outside boundaries. We also compare the result with the result from a type-1 Mamdani fuzzy inference system with the same set of features. The result from the type-1 fuzzy logic system yields 87.95% correct classification with 11.33 false positives per image whereas interval type-2 fuzzy logic system provides 90.36% correct classification with only 4.73 false positives per image.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124839143","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}

Dependently on the ordering of the support set, either necessary or sufficient conditions, or criteria of being a minimal solution have been obtained.

Type-2 fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) have shown that they can handle such uncertainties and give a superior performance to the existing commercial controllers. However, there are a number of computational bottlenecks that pose as significant barriers to the widespread deployment of type-2 FLCs in commercial embedded control systems. This paper explores the use of parallel hardware implementations of interval type-2 FLC as a means to eradicate these barriers thus producing bespoke co-processors for a soft core implementation of a FPGA based 32 bit RISC micro-processor. These coprocessors will perform functions such as fuzzification and type reduction and are currently utilised as part of a larger embedded interval type-2 fuzzy engine management system (T2FEMS). Numerous timing comparisons were undertaken between the co-processors and their sequential counterparts where the type-2 co-processors reduced significantly the computational cycles required by the type-2 FLC. This reduction in computational cycles allowed the T2FEMS to produce faster control responses whilst offering a superior control performance to the commercial engine management systems. Thus the proposed co-processors enable us to fully explore the potential of interval and possibly general type-2 FLCs in commercial embedded applications.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134334780","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}

This algorithm is further development of the off-line neural-gas learning with a different way of updating the neurons. It also uses a special logic to prevent the neurons from gradually becoming \"idling\" during the evolutions. Two characteristics of the ENM, namely the center-of-gravity COG and the weighted average size WAS of the model are further used to capture the general trends of operation changes in the process. Big changes serve as indication for acquisition of a new knowledge about the process that should be saved in the knowledge base. Normalized data taken from different operations of a diesel engine for hydraulic excavator are used to test and verify the merits of the proposed learning algorithm and the whole knowledge acquisition method.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117172442","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}

For these reasons, many organizations aim to integrate the flexible querying, to handle imprecise data or to use fuzzy data mining tools, minimizing the transformation costs. The best solution is to offer a smoothly migration toward this technology. This paper presents a new approach for the migration from relational DB (RDB) towards fuzzy relational DB (FRDB). The goal of this migration is to permit an easy mapping of the existing data, schemas and programs, while integrating the different fuzzy concepts. This paper presents two migration strategies. The first one, named \"partial migration\", is useful to introduce fuzzy queries in RDB without changing existing data. The \"total migration\" is the second migration strategy which offers in addition to the flexible querying, the possibility to store imprecise data. This strategy requires a modification of schemas, data and eventually programs.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124723836","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}

Among the ANNs, radial basis function networks (RBFNs) are known to possess superior fault tolerance. This study evaluates the fault tolerances of the IDS models and RBFNs using the approximation of continuous functions.

This paper deals with the two above issues by proposing a hybrid method named BayesFuzzy that learns from quantitative data and induces a fuzzy rule based model that enhances comprehensibility. BayesFuzzy has been implemented as an automatic system that combines a fuzzy strategy, for transforming numerical data into qualitative information, with a Bayes-based approach for inducing rules. Promising empirical results of the use of the BayesFuzzy system in four knowledge domains are presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116527532","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}
