The use of the OWA operators provides a convenient unified aggregation means that can be used to derive diverse types of summaries.

Using this fact, we present a (parametric) representation of fuzzy numbers and its application to the solution of fuzzy differential (initial value) equations (FDE). The representation uses a finite decomposition of the membership interval [0,1] and models the level-cuts of fuzzy numbers and fuzzy functions to obtain the formulation of a fuzzy differential equation y'=f(x,y) in terms of a set of ordinary (non fuzzy) differential equations, defined by the lower and upper components of the fuzzy-valued function f(x,y).

A fault detection method is developed based on this model which is quite robust to uncertainty and results in no false alarm. As soon as a fault is detected, an ANFIS model is trained in online to capture the major behavior of the occurred fault which can be used for fault accommodation. The simulation results understandably demonstrate the capability of the proposed method for accomplishing both tasks appropriately.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"202 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":"130332082","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 paper presents our last works in the speech/music discrimination field, aiming to improve the coding efficiency of standard audio coders (i.e. MP3, AAC) when speech and music signals are involved. In order to discriminate between speech and music, a fuzzy rules-based expert system is incorporated into the decision-taking stage of traditional speech/music discrimination systems. The knowledge base of the fuzzy expert system has been obtained by means of a typical genetic learning algorithm (the Pittsburgh algorithm). The proposed speech/music discrimination scheme manages the operation of an intelligent audio coder, which selects a GSM coder for speech frames and an AAC coder for music ones, resulting in a lower bit rate regarding the case of using a standardized audio coder (AAC in this work). Further, the intelligent audio coder has been designed aiming to obtain a similar subjective audio quality than AAC. GSM operates at 13 kbits/s, while in the experiments the bit rate specification for AAC has been 32 kbits/s for one-channel audio signals.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"30 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":"130625759","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}

Most previous studies focused on binary-valued transaction data. Transaction data in real-world applications, however, usually consists of quantitative values. In the last years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied to data mining for finding interesting association rules in quantitative transactions. Recently, a new rule representation model was presented to perform a genetic lateral tuning of membership functions. It is based on the 2-tuples linguistic representation model allowing us to adjust the context associated to the linguistic label membership functions. Based on the 2-tuples linguistic representation model, we present a new fuzzy data-mining algorithm for extracting both association rules and membership functions by means of an evolutionary learning of the membership functions, using a basic method for mining fuzzy association rules.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"14 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":"117037013","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 artificial intelligence, preferences are used in many domains such as decision theory, learning, etc. Several representations and reasoning techniques of preferences were proposed. One of these representations is the non-monotonic logic of preferences characterized by the ability to express several interpretations of preferences simultaneously. In relational databases, preferences are used for the personalization of queries to reduce the volume of data presented to the user by offering only the information that interests him. There, preferences are typically specified using binary preference relations among tuples. Binary preference relations are defined by preference formulas which can be embedded into classical relational queries. This paper is intended to discuss the encoding of relational database preference queries in the framework of the non-monotonic logic of preferences. We show that this framework allows the representation of binary preference relations that are asymmetric orders. In addition, it provides several mechanisms to manipulate preference queries efficiently.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"22 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":"131015114","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 kind of algorithms is mainly based on two key aspects: the way in which they deal with gene similarity across the experimental conditions, that determines the quality of biclusters; and the heuristic or search strategy used for exploring the search space. A measure that is often adopted for establishing the quality of biclusters is the mean squared residue. This measure has been successfully used in many approaches. However, it has been recently proven that the mean squared residue fails to recognize some kind of biclusters as quality biclusters, mainly due to the difficulty of detecting scaling patterns in data. In this work, we propose a novel measure for trying to overcome this drawback. This measure is based on the area between two curves. Such curves are built from the maximum and minimum standardized expression values exhibited for each experimental condition. In order to test the proposed measure, we have incorporated it into a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of our approach. The combination of the measure we propose with the mean squared residue yields results that would not have been obtained if only the mean squared residue had been used.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"1 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":"131282177","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}
