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}

The model proposed is directly applied to fuzzy constraint satisfaction problems and can be solved using an extended fuzzy path-consistency algorithm, also presented in the paper. A simple application to medical diagnosis shows its expressive power over previous tractable temporal reasoning models.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"9 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":"121679808","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}

When input words to a CWW engine are modeled by interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FSs), the CWW engine's output can also be an IT2 FS, A tilde, which needs to be mapped to a linguistic label so that it can be understood. Because each linguistic label is represented by an IT2 FS Bi, there is a need to compare the similarity of A tilde and B tildei to find the B tildei most similar to A tilde. In this paper, a vector similarity measure (VSM) is proposed for IT2 FSs, whose two elements measure the similarity in shape and proximity, respectively. A comparative study shows that the VSM gives more reasonable results than all other existing similarity measures for IT2 FSs.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"24 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":"124074368","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 antecedent partition uses triangular sets with 0.5 interpolations.

This paper introduces automated algorithms for the registration of sequences of aerial imagery to vector map data using linear features (primarily roads) as control information. Our algorithms support both the use of single elements as well as complete networks. Regarding single elements, our method is based on the extraction of linear features using active contour models (a.k.a. snakes), followed by the construction of a polygonal template upon which a matching process is applied. To accommodate more robust matching, this work presents both exact and inexact matching schemes for linear features. Additionally, in order to overcome the influence of the snakes-based extraction process on the matching results, a matching refinement process is suggested. This information is used to generate image mosaics and register these mosaics to a map. The performance of the proposed scheme was tested on sequences of aerial imagery of 1 m resolution that were subjected to shifts and rotations using both the exact and inexact matching scheme, and was shown to produce angular accuracies of less than 0.7 degrees and positional accuracies of less than 2 pixels.","PeriodicalId":236515,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems Conference","volume":"176 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":"126759234","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}
