The control algorithm is a fuzzy type with non-parametric (cloud-based) antecedent part and adaptive PID-R consequent part. The procedure starts with zero clouds (fuzzy rules) and the structure evolves during performing the process control. The PID-R parameters of the first cloud are initialized with zeros and furthermore, they are adapted on-line with a stable adaptation mechanism based on Lyapunov approach. The RECCo controller does not require any mathematical model of the controlled process but just basic information such as input and output range and the estimated value of the dominant time constant. Due to the problem space normalization the design parameters are fixed. The proposed controller with the same initial design parameters was tested on two different simulation examples. The experimental results show the convergence of the adaptive parameters and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":286312,"journal":{"name":"2017 Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117098017","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 proposed approach firstly identifies the potential anomalies based on two EDA criteria, and then, partitions them into shape-free, non-parametric data clouds. Finally, it identifies the anomalies in regards to each data cloud (locally).

The response of a neuron is determined by the weighted sum of input stimuli. The disease corresponding to the most excited neuron represents the result of diagnosis.

The generalized rules are directly defined in the multi-dimensional feature space through a kernel function, and thus allowing any rotated orientation of their shapes. Our splitting condition is based 1.) on the local error of rules measured in terms of a weighted contribution to the whole model error and 2.) on the size of the rules measured in terms of its volume. Thereby, we use the concept of statistical process control for automatic thresholding, in order to omit two extra parameters. The splitting technique relies on the eigendecompisition of the rule covariance matrix by adequately manipulating the largest eigenvector and eigenvalues in order to retrieve the new centers and contours of the two split rules. Thus, splitting is performed along the main principal component direction of a rule. The splitting concepts are integrated in the generalized smart evolving learning engine (Gen-Smart-EFS) and successfully tested on two real-world application scenarios, engine test benches and rolling mills, the latter including a real-occurring gradual drift (whose position in the data is known). Results show clearly improved error trend lines over time when splitting is applied: reduction of the error by about one third (rolling mills) and one half (engine test benches). In case of rolling mills, three rule splits right after the gradual drift starts were essential for this significant improvement.","PeriodicalId":286312,"journal":{"name":"2017 Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128435647","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 structure is a nonlinear finite impulse response (NFIR) based on a Gaussian process (GP). The online estimation of the tuning parameters of the GP model leads to an Evolving Gaussian process whose structure adapts to the current dynamics of the measured system. The GP regression is a kernel method which requires storing the past measurements. The kernel-based on-line system identification is implementable only with a constraint on the amount of data stored. The on-line identification method combines together the forgetting factor for discounting old data and the moving window which neglects the highly discounted data. As a consequence, the online-identification problem may be ill-posed due to the discounted data. A regularisation approach is introduced for the estimation of the tuning parameters in order to avoid the ill-posed identification problem. The performance of the online identification method is demonstrated with an illustrative example.","PeriodicalId":286312,"journal":{"name":"2017 Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121847697","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}

Our aim was to demonstrate that it is possible to use evolution mechanisms to model the real life influence of stress factors during performance training of athletes, a concept that can be generalized to other supervised or controlled systems. We have recorded data from one former basketball player to be used in the development of a simulation model based on immune genetic algorithms. We developed an immunization scheme that is parameterized for simulating different training outcomes based on type of athlete. Results confirm one of these cases is possibly the most similar to real life situations. Thus, we obtained an evolution model that aligns with the generative experiment as proof of concept for the evaluation of performance under stress. In particular, for sports science, we may have found a way to analyze training programs before their execution and to spot weaknesses in them.","PeriodicalId":286312,"journal":{"name":"2017 Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123227197","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}

These price ranges are related to the concept of volatility. Hence, their accurate forecasts play a key role in risk management, derivatives pricing and asset allocation, as well as supplements the information extracted by the time series of the closing price values. This paper addresses evolving fuzzy systems and financial ITS forecasting considering as the empirical application the main index of the Brazilian stock market, the IBOVESPA. An evolving participatory learning fuzzy model, named ePL-KRLS, is proposed. The model extends traditional ePL approach by considering Kernel functions to the identification of rule consequents parameters as well as a metaheuristic algorithm to automatically set model control parameters. One step ahead interval forecasts is compared against linear and nonlinear time series benchmark methods and with the state of the art evolving fuzzy models in terms of traditional accuracy metrics and quality measures designed for ITS. The results provide evidence for the predictability of of IBOVESPA ITS and significant forecast contribution of ePL-KRLS.","PeriodicalId":286312,"journal":{"name":"2017 Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126516210","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}
