That is, fuzzy rule-based systems are required to have high explanation ability. In this paper, we propose an approach to the design of fuzzy rule-based classifiers that can visually explain their classification results to human users. That is, our fuzzy rule-based classifiers can explain to human users why an input pattern is classified as a particular class in an understandable manner. The proposed approach consists of a rule selection method and a visualization interface. Our idea is to design fuzzy rule-based classifiers using fuzzy rules with only two antecedent conditions. A genetic algorithm is employed to construct a compact fuzzy rule-based classifier by choosing only a small number of fuzzy rules. In the classification phase, we use a single winner rule-based method for classifying an input pattern. The classification result of the input pattern is visually explained in a two-dimensional space where the two antecedent conditions of the winner rule are defined. Our approach is compared with feature selection by computational experiments.","PeriodicalId":343300,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Workshop on Genetic and Evolving Systems","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124999910","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}

For doing so, an improved fault detection logic is introduced which is based on data-driven evolving fuzzy models. These are sample-wise trained from online measurement data, i.e. the structure and rules of the models evolve over time in order to cope 1.) with high-frequented measurement recordings and 2.) online changing operating conditions. The evolving fuzzy models represent (changing) non-linear dependencies between certain system variables and are used for calculating the deviation between expected model outputs and real measured values on new incoming data samples (rarr residuals). The residuals are compared with local confidence regions surrounding the evolving fuzzy models, so-called local error bars, incrementally calculated synchronously to the models. The behavior of the residuals is analyzed over time by an adaptive univariate statistical approach. Evaluation results based on high-dimensional measurement data from engine test benches are demonstrated at the end of the paper, where the novel fault detection approach is compared against static analytical (fault) models.","PeriodicalId":343300,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Workshop on Genetic and Evolving Systems","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121540983","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}

But especially in case of closed loop coupling, learnt anomalies may have a negative influence on the entire future of the evolving system. In the worst case, this may result in unstable or chaotic system behavior. Thus it is crucial to detect anomalies in online learning systems instantaneously to be able to take immediate counteractions. This paper presents an intuitive approach how to detect anomalies in incrementally and locally learning TS-fuzzy systems by looking at local meta-level characteristics of the learnt function. The practical feasibility of this approach is then investigated in experiments with a real pole-balancing cart.","PeriodicalId":343300,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Workshop on Genetic and Evolving Systems","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115105149","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}

This system works with the least number of rules and has minimum error rate by the mean of particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. In this approach each particle of the swarm codes a set of fuzzy rules. During evolution, each member of a population tries to maximize a fitness criterion which has designed to raise classification rate and to reduce the number of rules. Finally, the particle with the highest fitness value is selected as the best set of fuzzy rules for image segmentation. Fuzzy sets are defined on the H, S and L components of the HSL Color Space to provide a fuzzy logic model which aims to follow the human intuition of Color Classification. Color-based vision applications face the challenge of color variations by illumination. The final system designed by this method is adaptive to continuous variable lighting according to its evolving-fuzzy nature.

Since these characteristics are generally imperfect and suffer from uncertainties and inaccuracies, we propose a fuzzy rule base system (FRBS) as an intelligent method in order to estimate the measure of an adaptivity degree.

In this approach, data collection in the real traffic conditions is employed for classification of several driving patterns. These driving patterns represent different traffic conditions e.g. congested, urban and so on. The analysis used for the driving pattern recognition is based on the definition of microtrips. In addition, a Markov chain modeling is used for traffic condition prediction based on the modeling of probability of the sequence of microtrips. The driving pattern prediction is then utilized for optimization of the HEV control parameters using a genetic-fuzzy approach. In this approach, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is designed to be intelligent so as to manage the internal combustion engine (ICE) to work in the vicinity of its optimal condition. The fuzzy membership function parameters are then tuned using the genetic algorithm (GA). Finally, simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the approach for reducing the HEV fuel consumption and emissions.","PeriodicalId":343300,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Workshop on Genetic and Evolving Systems","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127118675","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}

We take the electricity auction as the main application example, due to its importance as an experimental instance of the suggested approach. In previous works we evolved successful fuzzy bidding strategies. Here we introduce a coevolutionary algorithm to study how the evolving strategies react to each other in a more dynamic environment. By enabling a fuzzy system to learn trough an evolutionary algorithm one expects to find effective and transparent bidding strategies. By adopting a coevolutionary approach a more realistic representation of the agents participating in an auction based electricity market allows the evolutionary bidding strategies interact. The results show that the coevolutionary approach can improve agents profits at the cost of increasing system hourly price paid by demand.","PeriodicalId":343300,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Workshop on Genetic and Evolving Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132964346","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}
