{"title":"Using 2-Interactive Measures in Nonlinear Classifications","authors":"Yan Wu, Zhenyuan Wang","doi":"10.1109/NAFIPS.2007.383863","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/NAFIPS.2007.383863","url":null,"abstract":"Within the classification algorithms based on signed fuzzy measures, an obvious limitation is the complexity of the algorithms due to the large number of interactions among attributes. For a data set with n attributes, the complexity of classification algorithm would be O (2n). But in the practical problems, the higher-order interactions among attributes are often not significant enough to the classification. So sometimes omitting them just sacrifices the accuracy a little but will save a lot of time and energy. Hence, a 2-interactive measure may be used to reduce the calculation complexity into O (n2). In this study, the Mobius Transformation and its reverse - Zeta Transformation are used to calculate the 2-interactions among attributes for the records. A comprehensive discussion on the semantic and geometric meanings of the parameters is given. The weighted Choquet integral with respect to a signed fuzzy measure serves as an aggregation tool to project the feature space onto a real axis to make the classification simple. To implement the classification, we need to determine the values of the signed fuzzy measure and the other parameters. This can be done by running an adaptive genetic algorithm based on a given training data set. The new classifier is tested by recovering the preset parameters from a set of artificial training data generated from these parameters.","PeriodicalId":292853,"journal":{"name":"NAFIPS 2007 - 2007 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117177627","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}

A self-tuning PID tracking controller based on RBF neural network with Fuzzy current limiter is proposed to maneuver the motor and save some energy in hybrid mode. The outer motor control loop is designed to track down the speed fluctuations by Neural-PID controller. Besides, one inner loop is designed to limit the armature current whenever the power demand is diminished according to a set of Fuzzy rules. The proposed structure is put into tests by Matlab programming. Simulations confirm this RBF-PID controller with Fuzzy current limiter can save 23.5% energy for a tracking task.","PeriodicalId":292853,"journal":{"name":"NAFIPS 2007 - 2007 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"15 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114383443","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}

To examine the systemic inflammatory response syndrome in the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac and thoracic surgery a retrospective study was performed on 1674 selected patients admitted in the Cardiothoracic ICU of the University Hospital of Vienna. SIRS was defined according to the American College of Chest Physicians / Society of Critical Care Medicine (ACCP / SCCM) Consensus Conference. The term's SIRS, sepsis, septic shock and MODS (multi organ dysfunction syndrome) are used to describe the different extents of inflammation and infections. In the first phase the moment of the first occurrence of SIRS, and of severe SIRS was determined. An SIRS episode was defined as a time interval from the beginning of SIRS until the receding of the symptoms for more than 24 hours. Based on this information, an artificial neural network (ANN) was constructed to predict severe SIRS. SIRS was present in 1544 patients (92.2%), SIRS with additional signs of organ dysfunction evolving in 76.1% of the cases; the progression took less than 24 hours in 87.9% of the cases. The presence of signs of the SIRS on the first operative day is hardly suitable for the risk prediction. A significant correlation between the number of SIRS episodes and the outcome for each individual patient was found. The number of SIRS episodes could be an accurate parameter for estimating the outcome and the treatment outlay.","PeriodicalId":292853,"journal":{"name":"NAFIPS 2007 - 2007 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123854277","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 the former studies, relations between degree of granularity and dependence of contingency tables are given from the viewpoint of determinantal divisors and sample size. The nature of determinantal divisors shows that the increase of the degree of granularity may lead to that of dependence. However, a constraint on the sample size of a contingency table is very strong, which leads to the evaluation formula where the increase of degree of granularity gives the decrease of dependency. This paper gives a further study of the nature of sample size effect on the degree of dependency in a contingency matrix. The results show that sample size will restrict the nature of matrix in a combinatorial way, which suggests that the dependency is closely related with integer programming.","PeriodicalId":292853,"journal":{"name":"NAFIPS 2007 - 2007 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129861495","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}
