We show that a T1 FLS being an universal approximator is equivalent to saying that a T1 FLS has a continuous input-output mapping. We also derive the condition under which a T1 FLS is discontinuous. For IT2 FLSs using Karnik-Mendel type-reduction and center-of-sets defuzzification, we derive the conditions under which continuous and discontinuous input-output mappings can be obtained. Our results will be very useful in selecting the parameters of the membership functions to achieve a desired continuity (e.g., for most traditional modeling and control applications) or discontinuity (e.g., for hybrid and switched systems modeling and control).","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130706102","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}

Recently, several multimedia ontologies have been proposed in the literature as suitable knowledge models to bridge the well known semantic gap between low level features of image content and its high level conceptual meaning. Nevertheless, these multimedia ontologies are often dedicated to (or initially built for) particular needs or a particular application. Ontology matching, defined as the process of relating different heterogeneous models, could be a suitable approach to solve several interoperability issues that coexist in semantic image annotation and retrieval. In this paper, we propose an original and generic instance-based ontology matching approach and a methodology to extract a minimal ontology defined as the common reference between different heterogeneous ontologies. Then, this approach is applied to two different semantic image retrieval issues: the bridging of the semantic gap by the matching of a multimedia ontology with a common-sense knowledge ontology and the matching of different multimedia ontologies to extract a common reference knowledge model dedicated to several multimedia applications.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131170287","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 amount of data is often massive, hence scalable processing methods are required. One method of providing structure to unlabeled data is to group it by clustering. Density based methods discover the number of clusters. Additionally, the shape of such clusters can also be irregular. In this paper we examine a version of DBSCAN modified to use fuzzy membership functions (FN-DBSCAN). FN-DBSCAN was implemented using the WEKA data mining framework and a scalable technique (SFN-DBSCAN) is simulated using the framework. Experimental results show that SFN-DBSCAN can be over three times as fast as FN-DBSCAN for small to medium size data. The resulting cluster assignments match at an average rate of 90% when compared with assignments by FN-DBSCAN. SFN-DBSCAN's speed increases proportionally with respect to the number of subsets, but cluster assignment concurrence between FN-DBSCAN and SFN-DBSCAN suffers from degradation as the number of subsets increase.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131900004","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 order to solve this drawback, our paper introduces a novel kind of fuzzy controller, known as Timed Automata-based Fuzzy Controllers, and it presents a data mining approach able to learn the most suitable controller that manages, in efficient way, the computer network dynamism and support networks' administrators to prevent eventual damages coming from unauthorized network intrusion.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133804532","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}

Since the fuzzy numbers can reproduce fuzzy events we then will make a trial of extending the concept of fuzzy probability, defined by R. Yager [1] for discrete fuzzy events, on continuous fuzzy events. In order to fulfill the task we utilize conclusions made about fuzzy numbers to propose an initial conception of approximating the Gauss curve by a particularly designed function originated from the π-class functions. Due to the procedure of the approximation, characterized by an irrelevant cumulative error, we expand fuzzy probabilities of continuous fuzzy events in the form of continuous fuzzy sets. Furthermore, we assume that this sort of probability holds some conditions formulated for probabilities of discrete fuzzy events [2]-[7].","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115842984","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 network model is composed by two strucutres: a fuzzy system and a neural network. The fuzzy system contains fuzzy neurons modeled using t-norms and s-norms. The neural network is composed by nonlinear elements placed in series with the fuzzy system. The network model implicitly encodes a fuzzy rule-based system and its recurrent multilayered structure performs fuzzy inference. The topology induces a clear relationship between the network structure and the associated fuzzy rule-based system. Network learning involves three main steps. The first step uses a modified vector quantization approach to granulate the input universes. The next step assembles the network connections and their initial, randomly chosen weights. The third step uses two main paradigms to update the network weights: gradient descent and gradient projection method. The recurrent fuzzy neural network is particularly suitable to model nonlinear dynamic systems and to learn sequences. Computational experiment with a classic prediction problem benchmark shows that the fuzzy neural model outperforms a finite impulse response neural network.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124253016","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 example in customer segmentation we may be faced with the situation that a certain customer not necessarily belongs to just one segment, i.e. his/her class assignment is uncertain. Several cluster algorithms have been proposed that employ uncertainty modeling in different ways. The most frequently used techniques are probability theory, fuzzy logic, and recently rough sets. If uncertainty modeling is already important in static clustering this becomes even more important in dynamic clustering where several elements of the respective cluster can change over time. Changes produce uncertainty and that is where uncertainty modeling in dynamic clustering comes into play. In this paper we present briefly two cluster algorithms that employ soft computing approaches and provide a comparison regarding their capabilities to capture uncertainties in dynamic environments. Future research issues for this area are also identified.","PeriodicalId":377799,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Fuzzy Systems","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114335810","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}
