Because the FRMRPs include fuzzy random variable parameters with infinite supports, they are inherently infinite-dimensional optimization problems that can rarely be solved directly. Therefore, an approximation approach to the original two-stage FRMRPs is proposed, which results in finite-dimensional approximating two-stage FRMRPs. After that, the paper deals with the convergence of the objective value of the approximating two-stage FRMRP to that of the original two-stage FRMRP.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"263 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":"115282353","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 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}

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}

Knowledge spaces represent a new paradigm in psychological approaches to assessment of knowledge. A distinguishing feature of knowledge spaces is their non-numerical character. The aim of the present paper is twofold. First, we bring up several remarks on data dependencies studied within knowledge spaces. Second, we consider the dependencies in a framework which is more general than that of classical knowledge spaces. Namely, we abandon the assumption that a knowledge state is a set of problems/questions which an individual is able to solve. Instead, we assume that a knowledge state is a graded set (fuzzy set) of problems. Our assumption accounts for situations where it is possible that an individual can solve a particular problem partially, rather than just \"can solve\" or \"cannot solve\". We propose a definition of dependencies and validity of dependencies in knowledge spaces with graded knowledge states, provide selected properties of the dependencies, and a lemma which serves as a bridge to existing results on so-called fuzzy attribute implications.","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":"129847806","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 is performed comparing the fuzzy prototypes of document cluster with the available information about documents contents. It exploits conceptual-based filtering criteria and category-based filtering techniques to deliver to the user an intelligent structure of the documents. Since filtering is a dynamic process, the knowledge base can update the hierarchy of existing documents. The clusters hierarchy can be easily and efficiently updated when new documents income on the repository by means of an inference method which is based on fuzzy deformable prototypes.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"69 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":"130131876","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 T-S fuzzy model is employed to represent the nonlinear plant to facilitate the stability analysis. A fuzzy controller, under imperfect premise matching such that the T-S fuzzy model and the fuzzy controller do not share the same membership functions, is proposed to perform the control task. Consequently, the design flexibility can be enhanced and simple membership functions can be employed to lower the structural complexity of the fuzzy controller. However, the favourable characteristic given by perfect premise matching will vanish, which leads to conservative stability conditions. In this paper, under imperfect premise matching, the information of membership functions of the fuzzy model and controller is considered during the stability analysis. LMI-based stability conditions are derived to guarantee the system stability using the Lyapunov-based approach. Free matrices are introduced to alleviate the conservativeness of the stability conditions. LMI-based performance conditions are also derived to guarantee the system performance. Simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"4 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":"129227524","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}
