PyIT2FLS: An open-source Python framework for flexible and scalable development of type 1 and interval type 2 fuzzy logic models
Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic have become essential tools for converting expert knowledge into mathematical models and extracting meaningful insights from numerical data. Despite their wide application, a comprehensive and integrated tool for fuzzy logic development in Python has been lacking. To address this gap, we developed PyIT2FLS, an open-source framework for creating both Type-1 and Interval Type-2 fuzzy logic models. In addition to supporting a broad range of membership functions, t-norms, s-norms, and fuzzy operators, and facilitating the development of TSK and Mamdani systems, PyIT2FLS distinguishes itself from other toolkits by offering an easy integration of optimization algorithms, such as meta-heuristic techniques, for efficiently tuning fuzzy system parameters. This comprehensive toolkit bridges the divide between fuzzy logic theory and practical applications, enabling the rapid development of novel intelligent methods and schemes.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
