Theoretically, model-based controllers may be the ideal control mechanisms; however, they are highly sensitive to model uncertainties and have difficulty with preserving robustness. The presence of serious disturbances, the increasing number of MG, varying voltage supplies of MGs, and both independent operations of MGs and their interaction with the main grid makes the design of model-based frequency controllers for MGs become inherently challenging and problematic. This paper proposes an approach that takes advantage of interval Type II fuzzy logic for modeling an MG system in the process of its robust H∞ frequency control. Specifically, the main contribution of this paper is that the parameters of the MG system are modeled by interval Type-II fuzzy system (IT2FS), and simultaneously MG deals with perturbation using H∞ index to control its frequency. The performance of the microgrid equipped with the proposed modeling and controller is then compared with the other controllers such as H2 and μ-synthesis during changes in the microgrid parameters and occurring perturbations. The comparison shows the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed approach in terms of robustness against uncertainties in the modeling parameters and perturbations.","PeriodicalId":32592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68375074","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 this paper, a two-phase method is proposed for removing salt and pepper noise while preserving edges and fine details. In the first phase, noise candidate pixels are detected which are likely to be contaminated by noise. In the second phase, only noise candidate pixels are restored using adaptive median filter. In terms of noise detection, a two-stage method is utilized. At first, a thresholding is applied on the image to initial estimation of the noise candidate pixels. Since some pixels in the image may be similar to the salt and pepper noise, these pixels are mistakenly identified as noise. Hence, in the second step of the noise detection, the pixon-based segmentation is used to identify the salt and pepper noise pixels more accurately. Pixon is the neighboring pixels with similar gray levels. The proposed method was evaluated on several noisy images, and the results show the accuracy of the proposed method in salt and pepper noise removal and outperforms to several existing methods.","PeriodicalId":32592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68374677","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}

Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm segments the background dark areas in the proper channels of RGB color space using morphological processing such as closing, opening and top-hat operations. Then an appropriate edge detector discriminates between exudates and cotton-like spots or other artificial effects. To tackle the problem of optical fibers and to discriminate between these brightness and exudates, in the first stage, main vessels are detected from the green channel of RGB color space. Then the optical fiber areas around the vessels are marked up. An algorithm which uses PCA-based reconstruction error is proposed to discard another fundus bright structure named optic disk. Several experiments have been performed with HEI-MED standard database and evaluated by comparing with ground truth images. These results show that the proposed algorithm has a detection accuracy of 96%.","PeriodicalId":32592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45488710","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}

One of the most interesting applications of data mining is the discovery of diseases and disease patterns through investigating patients' records. Early diagnosis of diabetes can reduce the effects of this devastating disease. A common way to diagnose this disease is performing a blood test, which, despite its high precision, has some disadvantages such as: pain, cost, patient stress, lack of access to a laboratory, and so on. Diabetic patients’ information has hidden patterns, which can help you investigate the risk of diabetes in individuals, without performing any blood tests. Use of neural networks, as powerful data mining tools, is an appropriate method to discover hidden patterns in diabetic patients’ information. In this paper, in order to discover the hidden patterns and diagnose diabetes, a water wave optimization(WWO) algorithm; as a precise metaheuristic algorithm, was used along with a neural network to increase the precision of diabetes prediction. The results of our implementation in the MATLAB programming environment, using the dataset related to diabetes, indicated that the proposed method diagnosed diabetes at a precision of 94.73%,sensitivity of 94.20%, specificity of 93.34%, and accuracy of 95.46%, and was more sensitive than methods such as: support vector machines, artificial neural networks, and decision trees.","PeriodicalId":32592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48221231","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 this paper, Entropy-based Consensus on Cluster Centers (EC3) is introduced for clustering in distributed systems with a consideration for confidentiality of data; i.e. it is the negotiations among local cluster centers that are used in the consensus process, hence no private data are transferred. With the proposed use of entropy as an internal measure of consensus clustering validation at each machine, the cluster centers of the local machines with higher expected clustering validity have more influence in the final consensus centers. We also employ relative cost function of the local Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and the number of data points in each machine as measures of relative machine validity as compared to other machines and its reliability, respectively. The utility of the proposed consensus strategy is examined on 18 datasets from the UCI repository in terms of clustering accuracy and speed up against the centralized version of FCM. Several experiments confirm that the proposed approach yields to higher speed up and accuracy while maintaining data security due to its protected and distributed processing approach.","PeriodicalId":32592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43215744","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}

Here, two novel features are proposed. They use semantic similarity measure to determine the relationship between the content and the URL of a page. Since suggested features don't apply third-party services such as search engines result, the features extraction time decreases dramatically.
