Various data-driven approaches have been used in the development of network intrusion detection systems, which usually lead to either very complex systems or poor generalization ability due to the complexity of this challenge. This paper proposes a data-driven network intrusion detection system using fuzzy interpolation in an effort to address the aforementioned limitations. In particular, the developed system equipped with a sparse rule base not only guarantees the online performance of intrusion detection, but also allows the generation of security alerts from situations which are not directly covered by the existing knowledge base. The proposed system has been applied to a well-known data set for system validation and evaluation with competitive results generated.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128067800","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 such, there could be a need for aggregating the outputs of the algorithms involved in the classification effort. If the output of every classification algorithm resembles the opinion of an expert in the subject at hand, we are then in the presence of a group decision-making problem, which in turn translates into two sub-problems: (a) defining the desired semantic of the aggregation of all opinions, and (b) applying the proper aggregation technique that can achieve the desired semantic chosen in (a). The objective of this article is twofold. Firstly, we present two specific aggregation semantics, namely fuzzy-majority and compensatory, which are based on Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging and Uninorm operators, respectively. Secondly, we show the power of these two techniques by applying them to an existing hybrid method for classification of sentiments at the sentence level. In this case, the proposed aggregation solutions act as a complement in order to improve the performance of the aforementioned hybrid method. In more general terms, the proposed solutions could be used in the creation of semantic-sensitive ensemble methods, instead of the more simple ensemble choices available today in commercial machine learning software offerings.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127874859","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}

Identifying vitamin B12 deficiency is not straightforward since blood vitamin B12 levels are not representative for actual vitamin B12 status in tissue. Instead, methylmalonic acid (MMA) levels in the plasma are used as indicators of vitamin B12 deficiency. MMA concentrations increase starting from the early course of vitamin B12 deficiency but they may also be high regardless of vitamin B12 deficiency due to renal failure (measured by eGFR). In this paper we propose the use of probabilistic fuzzy systems (PFS) to explore the relationship between MMA plasma levels with vitamin B12 and kidney function. We propose a PFS model for the analysis of overall MMA properties for all patients and also specific MMA properties for individual patients. We show that this PFS model leads to accurate MMA interval predictions. We further show that the proposed model can be used to assess a change in the eGFR level to a normal eGFR level, and its effect on the patient's MMA distribution.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124554303","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}

It classifies unseen cases comparing their similarity with the training data. Nevertheless, it gives to each labeled sample the same importance to classify. There are several approaches to enhance its precision, with the Fuzzy k-Nearest Neighbors (Fuzzy-kNN) classifier being among the most successful ones. Fuzzy-kNN computes a fuzzy degree of membership of each instance to the classes of the problem. As a result, it generates smoother borders between classes. Apart from the existing kNN approach to handle big datasets, there is not a fuzzy variant to manage that volume of data. Nevertheless, calculating this class membership adds an extra computational cost becoming even less scalable to tackle large datasets because of memory needs and high runtime. In this work, we present an exact and distributed approach to run the Fuzzy-kNN classifier on big datasets based on Spark, which provides the same precision than the original algorithm. It presents two separately stages. The first stage transforms the training set adding the class membership degrees. The second stage classifies with the kNN algorithm the test set using the class membership computed previously. In our experiments, we study the scaling-up capabilities of the proposed approach with datasets up to 11 million instances, showing promising results.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121796820","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 main argument to introduce fuzzy set theory within AHP lies in its ability to handle uncertainty and vagueness arising from decision makers (when performing pairwise comparisons between a set of criteria/alternatives). As humans usually reason with granular information rather than precise one, such pairwise comparisons may contain some degree of inconsistency that needs to be properly tackled to guarantee the relevance of the result/ranking. Over the last decades, several consistency indexes designed for fuzzy pairwise comparison matrices (FPCMs) were proposed, as will be discussed in this article. However, for some decision theory specialists, it appears that most of these indexes fail to be properly “axiomatically” founded, thus leading to misleading results. To overcome this, a new index, referred to as KCI (Knowledge-based Consistency Index) is introduced in this paper, and later compared with an existing index that is axiomatically well founded. The comparison results show that (i) both indexes perform similarly from a consistency measurement perspective, but (ii) KCI contributes to significantly reduce the computation time, which can save expert's time in some MCDM problems.","PeriodicalId":408343,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134080766","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}

Whereas the antecedent parameters of the system in the first hybrid algorithm is optimized using the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and using the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm Based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) in the second hybrid algorithm.
