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}

One approach is termed precise (or approximative) fuzzy modelling, that aims at numerical approximation of functions by rules, but that pays little attention to the interpretability of the resulting rule base. On the other side is linguistic (or descriptive) fuzzy modelling, that aims at automatic rule extraction but that uses fixed human provided and linguistically labelled fuzzy sets. This work follows the linguistic fuzzy modelling approach. It uses an extended Classifier System (XCS) as mechanism to extract linguistic fuzzy rules. XCS is one of the most successful accuracy-based learning classifier systems. It provides several mechanisms for rule generalization and also allows for online training if necessary. It can be used in sequential and non-sequential tasks. Although originally applied in discrete domains it has been extended to continuous and fuzzy environments. The proposed Linguistic Fuzzy XCS has been applied to several well-known classification problems and the results compared with both, precise and linguistic fuzzy models.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"82 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":"125011726","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}

First, a small compact knowledge base is built. It is highly interpretable and reasonably accurate. Second, an optimization procedure, which only affects the fuzzy partitions defining the system variables, is carried out. It improves the system accuracy while preserving the system interpretability. Two optimization strategies are compared: Solis-Wetts, a local search based strategy; and Genetic Tuning, a global search based strategy. Results obtained in a well-known benchmark medical classification problem, related to breast cancer diagnosis, show that our methodology is able to achieve knowledge bases with high interpretability and accuracy comparable to that obtained by other methodologies.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"13 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":"125765045","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}

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). From a computational view, the resulting ODE's can be analyzed and solved by standard methods of numerical analysis.","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":"127176448","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 present paper proposes to employ an intelligent neuro-fuzzy based accuracy improvement module for the LMS bridge. The objective of the neuro-fuzzy system is to add a synthetic phase offset to improve accuracy of the phase measurement in real life. The neuro-fuzzy system is successfully trained by employing particle swarm optimization (PSO), a relatively new combinatorial metaheuristic technique. The success of the proposed technique is effectively demonstrated by employing the bridge in real life for a variety of unknown impedances under measurement.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"82 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":"126244205","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}

However, inherent in the nature of the application, the processing times of jobs are not precise but are estimates that vary between minimal values, in case of premature failure of jobs, to maximal values as specified 'a priori' by well-experienced users. Fuzzy methodology becomes instrumental in this application as it allows the use of fuzzy sets to represent the processing times of jobs, modelling their uncertainty. This work presents the implementation of a tabu search algorithm to create good schedules and explores the robustness of the schedule when processing times do vary by assessing its performance in both fuzzy and crisp modes. Finally, the impact of changing the shapes of fuzzy completion times and the average job length on the schedule performance is discussed.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"11 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":"122302904","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}
