We discuss how to update the base value by preprocessing for generating the input values to the spiking neurons. The learning method of the spiking neural network based on the time series of the measured data is explained as well.

There is an increasing interest on how to construct fuzzy models for different types of complex systems such as highly nonlinear, large-scale, multiobjective, and high-dimensional systems. Current state of the art indicates the use of fast and scalable evolutionary algorithms in complex fuzzy modeling tasks. Genetic fuzzy systems offer an effective approach to embed genetic database learning and fast learning of parsimonious and accurate models. This paper suggests a participatory genetic learning approach as a tool for genetic fuzzy system modeling. Participatory genetic learning is an evolutionary computation paradigm in which the population itself plays an important role to assign fitness values to individuals. The approach uses compatibility between two randomly chosen individuals and the fittest to select the mates, and selective transfer recombination mechanism to exchange information between mates. Mutation is done similarly as in the canonical genetic algorithm. The usage of participatory learning, selective transfer, and mutation translates into a new type of genetic algorithm for genetic fuzzy system modeling. This paper focuses on the application of participatory genetic learning for rule-based fuzzy modeling of regression problems. Actual data concerning an electric system maintenance problem and results reported in the literature are employed to evaluate the performance of participatory genetic learning. The mean squared error and number of rules measure modeling accuracy and complexity, respectively. The result shows that participatory genetic learning produces accurate, parsimonious models, and is fast when compared with current state of the art approaches.","PeriodicalId":362308,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Workshop on Genetic and Evolutionary Fuzzy Systems (GEFS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132685938","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 paper aims to assess the effects of data prevalence (i.e., proportion of presence in the entire data set) on species distribution modelling and habitat preference evaluation using a 0-order genetic Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. The effects were evaluated based on the model accuracy and habitat preference curves (HPCs). In order to avoid the data uncertainty, virtual species data were generated using hypothetical HPCs under different assumptions on the interaction between habitat variables and habitat preference of a virtual fish. In total, thirteen data sets under three different interaction scenarios were generated. The model accuracy of resulting models was different according to the data prevalence, whereas different trends between data sets under different interaction scenarios were observed. Although the HPC shapes were similar across data sets, the HPCs were different according to the data prevalence, of which a higher prevalence can result in a uniform HPC. This study demonstrates possible influences of data prevalence on the species distribution modelling. Further study is needed for a better solution to cope with the prevalence-related problems in ecological modelling.","PeriodicalId":362308,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Workshop on Genetic and Evolutionary Fuzzy Systems (GEFS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127700071","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}

Two approaches can be used to determine the number of terms (i.e. the granularity) associated with the linguistic variables that appear in the rules: a pre-established single granularity can be chosen, or a multiple granularities approach can be preferred. The latter favors a reduction in the number of extracted rules, but it also brings to a possible loss of interpretability. To prevent this problem, suitable granularities can be determined by applying automatic techniques before the initial rule generation process. In this contribution, we investigate how the application of a single granularity learning approach influences the performance of fuzzy associative rule-based classifiers. The aim is to reduce the complexity of the obtained models, trying to maintain a good classification ability.","PeriodicalId":362308,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Workshop on Genetic and Evolutionary Fuzzy Systems (GEFS)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133781080","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}

As a result, each antecedent fuzzy set is defined on a single input variable. In this paper, we examine the use of fuzzy relational conditions with respect to the relation between two input variables such as “x<sub>1</sub> is approximately equal to x<sub>2</sub>” and “x<sub>3</sub> is approximately larger than x<sub>4</sub>”. Such a fuzzy relational condition is defined by a fuzzy set on a pair of input variables.

The proposed model is implemented on NSLV, a fuzzy rule learning algorithm based on genetic algorithms. We present an experimental study of the behavior of NSLV on pruned search spaces.
