RECCo is a controller based on fuzzy rule-based (FRB) systems with non-parametric antecedent part and PID type consequent part. Moreover, the controller structure (the fuzzy rules and the membership function) is created in online manner from the data stream. The advantage of the RECCo controller is that do not require any a priory knowledge of the controlled system. The algorithm starts with zero fuzzy rules (zero data clouds) and evolves/learns during the process control. Also the PID parameters of the controller are initialed with zeros and are adapted in online manner. According to the zero initialization of the parameters the new adaptation law is proposed in this article to solve the problems in the starting phase of the process control. Several initial scenarios were theoretically propagated and experimentally tested on the model of a heat-exchanger plant. These experiments prove that the proposed adaptation law improve the performance of the RECCo control algorithm in the starting phase.","PeriodicalId":325875,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115265282","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, majority of real life problems and their practical applications are dynamic in their nature due to the reasons arising from unpredictable events, such as rush orders, fluctuating capacities of manufacturing constraints, changes in costs or profits. A problem, carrying one of these features is known as dynamic optimization problem (DOP) in the related literature. In DOPs the aim is not only to find the optimum of the current problem configuration, but to keep track of the moving optima. Dynamic optimization is a hot research area and a notable variety of solution methodologies are developed for DOPs in the past decade. As a contribution to the existing literature of DOPs, in the current work, the idea of using a multi-start and constructive search algorithm and thus breaking the dependency to the previously found solutions is presented. The performance tests are conducted on the generalized assignment problem, which has numerous real life applications. In regard to the obtained results, the proposed method is found promising.","PeriodicalId":325875,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117097971","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}

Moreover we test an earlier hypothesis that players are “naíve” (short-sighted). Our results indicate that Reinforcement Learning is a component of the decision-making process. We also find that there is a significant improvement of fitting for some of the players when using a full RL model against a reduced version (myopic), where only immediate reward is valued by the players, indicating that not all players are naíve.","PeriodicalId":325875,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129253217","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 model is therefore able to detect and to quantify the unbalance of general three-phase power systems. Indeed, the symmetrical components of the power system, i.e., their amplitude and phase angle values, can be deduced at each iteration from the proposed state-space model.

Indeed, exposing the human to high levels of mental stress which he/she cannot tolerate, may affect the successful completion of the task to be accomplished. Therefore, the need for a system which can monitor the levels of the applied mental stress on human according to his/her current state is of prime importance. Hence, this work introduces a new system that can be used to automatically modify the applied mental stress according to the output of a linguistic model that employs fuzzy sets in the form of Mamdani-type fuzzy rules. This model accepts two markers which were derived based on heart rate and pupil dilation signals and predicts a performance index which is the test accuracy. Consequently, a “crisp” decision is made according to such predicted performance to alter the applied mental stress level. This system is implemented on two personal computers connected through a network; one for applying mental stress (in the form of arithmetic test), while the other is for monitoring the human mental state through the two markers and managing the mental stress levels. The results show a close match between the system's closed loop operation and the actual measurements acquired from human volunteers.","PeriodicalId":325875,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128846855","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 vast majority of the state-of-the-art solutions to the SRF problem involve the theory of stochastic approximation. The premise of the latter family of algorithms is to operate by means of so-called “small-step” processes that explore the search space in a conservative manner. Using this paradigm, the point investigated at any time instant is in the proximity of the point investigated at the previous time instant, rendering the convergence towards the optimal point, x*, to be sluggish. The unfortunate thing about such a search paradigm is that although g() contains information using which large sections of the search space can be eliminated, this information is unutilized. This paper provides a pioneering and novel scheme to discover and utilize this information. Our solution recursively shrinks the search space by, at least, a factor of 2d/3 at each epoch, where d ≥ 2 is a user-defined parameter of the algorithm. This enhances the convergence significantly. Conceptually, this is achieved through a subtle re-formulation of SRF problem in terms of a continuous-space generalization of the Stochastic Point Location (SPL) problem originally proposed by Oommen. Our scheme is based, in part, on the Continuous Point Location with Adaptive d-ary Search (CPL-AdS), originally presented. The solution to the CPL-AdS, however, is not applicable in our particular domain because of the inherent asymmetry of the SRF problem. Our solution invokes a CPL-AdS-like solution to partition the search interval into d subintervals, evaluates the location of the unknown root x* with respect to these sub-intervals using learning automata, and prunes the search space in each iteration by eliminating at least one partition. Our scheme, the CPL-AdS algorithm for SRF, denoted as SRF-AdS, is shown to converge to the unknown root x* with an arbitrary large degree of accuracy, i.e., with a probability as close to unity as desired. Unlike the classical formulation of the SPL problem proposed by Oommen et al, in our setting, the probability, p, of the “environment” suggesting an accurate response is non-constant. In fact, the latter probability depends of the point x being examined and the region that is a candidate to be pruned. The fact that p is not constant renders the analysis much more involved. The decision rules for pruning are also different from those encountered when p is constant.","PeriodicalId":325875,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent Systems (EAIS)","volume":"218 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123150726","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}
