The solution is monitored from the initial fuzzy conditions through to the three different domains and two sub-domains. While results show properties of the crisp Gompertz model being kept and then lost, this is still an appropriate generalized way to deal with uncertainty in plant disease evolution.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116365682","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 article concerns the representation and querying of such data. It is shown that sensorial data are intrinsically imprecise due to this human evaluation (possibilistic data), and especially for untrained people. The data treatment can take advantages of a querying with user's preferences (flexible querying with fuzzy predicates). The classical approach to evaluate a fuzzy predicate on a possibility distribution is based on a possibility and a necessity measures of a fuzzy event and it is shown that this approach may be not convenient. A new expression for the evaluation of a fuzzy predicate on a possibility distribution is then introduced. More complex flexible queries on possibilistic data are defined and methods to rank the answers are also proposed.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124654508","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 presence of background noise, the detection and classification of target acoustic event becomes more difficult. Various methods have been proposed that extract features from spectrogram of sound and then the extracted features are used with traditional non negative matrix factorization for separation of overlapping sound. In his paper, we propose an approach to separate and classify single channel acoustic events. The method combines Common Fate Transformation and Cauchy Non-negative Matrix Factorization for feature extraction and finally fuzzy rule-based classifier is developed for classification. The proposed method, when applied to real data, gave high true positive rate. The method also gave better results in terms of true positive rate when compared to widely used support vector machine using the same real data. Moreover, the proposed approach is fast and can be used for the efficient separation of acoustic events from overlapping sounds.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129374661","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 approach overcomes previous results in the literature by means of a novel augmented estimated vector, therefore conditions in terms linear matrix inequalities are directly obtained.

The models that predict activity and time of occurrence rely on the basic idea that human beings perform sequence of activities at specific times regularly. In other words, the models are dependent on human behavior. However, human behavior changes over time. Also, due to demands and goals to be attained, there may be change in human behavior. Therefore, one of the essential requirements of the predictive models for the given task is autonomous adaptation with time and without undergoing any retraining. Considering the requirement of an adaptive model, we propose an evolving fuzzy rule-based predictive model that can autonomously adapt with changes in the human behavior. The performance of the model is evaluated using real-life data with evolving characteristics and satisfactory results are obtained.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121705093","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}

New malware are often obtained as variants of existing malicious code. This work describes an approach for dynamic malware detection based on the combination of Process Mining (PM) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) techniques. The firsts are used to characterize the behavior of an application identifying some recurring execution expressed as a set of declarative constraints between the system calls. Fuzzy logic is used to classify the analyzed malware applications and verify their relations with the existing malware variants. The combination of the two techniques allows to obtain a fingerprint of an application that is used to verify its maliciousness/trustfulness, establish if it belongs from a known malware family and identify the differences between the detected malware behavior and the other variants of the some malware family. The approach is applied on a dataset of 3000 trusted and malicious applications across twelve malware families and has shown a very good discrimination ability that can be exploited for malware detection and family identification.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121728558","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}
