基于2型模糊描述逻辑的知识描述与推理及其在信任管理系统中的应用

描述逻辑由于其强大的描述能力与成熟的推理算法而被广泛应用。然而，经典描述逻辑局限于处理确定的概念和关系，从而导致描述逻辑很难处理类似语义网等大型本体系统中的模糊知识。虽然1型模糊集可以一定程度上减轻不确定性带来的影响，但是其采用确定的隶属度值来决定模糊度的方法是不够精准的。与之相比，基于2型模糊集的系统能够利用隶属度区间更加精确地描述模糊信息。本文给出描述逻辑ALC的2型模糊扩展形式，并且给出并分析了2型模糊ALC的描述和推理方法。最后使用2型模糊ALC建立了一个基于模糊本体的信任管理系统FOntoTM。     

Switching between type-2 fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets: an application in medical diagnosis

When dealing with vagueness, there are situations when there is insufficient information available, making it impossible to satisfactorily evaluate membership. The intuitionistic fuzzy set theory is more suitable than fuzzy sets to deal with such problem. In 1996, Atanassov proposed the mapping from intuitionistic fuzzy sets to fuzzy sets. Furthermore, intuitionistic fuzzy sets are isomorphic to interval valued fuzzy sets, and interval valued fuzzy sets are regarded as the special cases of type-2 fuzzy sets in recently studies. However, their discussions are not only hardly comprehending but also lacking the reliable applications. In this study, the advantage of type-2 fuzzy sets is employed, and the switching relation between type-2 fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets is defined axiomatically. The switching results are applied to show the usefulness of the proposed method in pattern recognition and medical diagnosis reasoning.

基于感知推理方法的语言动力系统性质及数据驱动设计研究(英文)

The linguistic dynamic systems(LDSs) based on type-1 fuzzy sets can provide a powerful tool for modeling, analysis,evaluation and control of complex systems. However, as pointed out in earlier studies, it is much more reasonable to take type-2fuzzy sets to model the existing uncertainties of linguistic words. In this paper, the LDS based on type-2 fuzzy sets is studied, and its reasoning process is realized through the perceptual reasoning method. The properties of the perceptual reasoning method based LDS(PR-LDS) are explored. These properties demonstrated that the output of PR-LDS is intuitive and the computation complexity can be reduced when the consequent type-2 fuzzy numbers in the rule base satisfy some conditions. Further, a data driven method for the design of the PR-LDS is provided. At last, the effectiveness and rationality of the proposed data-driven method are verified by an example.

Fuzzy rule interpolation based on principle membership functions and uncertainty grade functions of interval type-2 fuzzy sets

Fuzzy rule interpolation is an important research topic in sparse fuzzy rule-based systems. In this paper, we present a new method for dealing with fuzzy rule interpolation in sparse fuzzy rule-based systems based on the principle membership functions and uncertainty grade functions of interval type-2 fuzzy sets. The proposed method deals with fuzzy rule interpolation based on the principle membership functions and the uncertainty grade functions of interval type-2 fuzzy sets. It can deal with fuzzy rule interpolation with polygonal interval type-2 fuzzy sets and can handle fuzzy rule interpolation with multiple antecedent variables. We also use some examples to compare the fuzzy interpolative reasoning results of the proposed method with the ones of an existing method. The experimental result shows that the proposed method gets more reasonable results than the existing method for fuzzy rule interpolation based on interval type-2 fuzzy sets.     

Polynomial regression interval-valued fuzzy systems

In recent years, the type-2 fuzzy sets theory has been used to model and minimize the effects of uncertainties in rule-base fuzzy logic system (FLS). In order to make the type-2 FLS reasonable and reliable, a new simple and novel statistical method to decide interval-valued fuzzy membership functions and probability type reduce reasoning method for the interval-valued FLS are developed. We have implemented the proposed non-linear (polynomial regression) statistical interval-valued type-2 FLS to perform smart washing machine control. The results show that our quadratic statistical method is more robust to design a reliable type-2 FLS and also can be extend to polynomial model.

Interval type-2 neuro-fuzzy system with implication-based inference mechanism

Neuro-fuzzy systems have been proved to be an efficient tool for modelling real life systems. They are precise and have ability to generalise knowledge from presented data. Neuro-fuzzy systems use fuzzy sets – most commonly type-1 fuzzy sets. Type-2 fuzzy sets model uncertainties better than type-1 fuzzy sets because of their fuzzy membership function. Unfortunately computational complexity of type reduction in general type-2 systems is high enough to hinder their practical application. This burden can be alleviated by application of interval type-2 fuzzy sets. The paper presents an interval type-2 neuro-fuzzy system with interval type-2 fuzzy sets both in premises (Gaussian interval type-2 fuzzy sets with uncertain fuzziness) and consequences (trapezoid interval type-2 fuzzy set). The inference mechanism is based on the interval type-2 fuzzy Łukasiewicz, Reichenbach, Kleene-Dienes, or Brouwer–Gödel implications. The paper is accompanied by numerical examples. The system can elaborate models with lower error rate than type-1 neuro-fuzzy system with implication-based inference mechanism. The system outperforms some known type-2 neuro-fuzzy systems.

Quantification of R-fuzzy sets

The main aim of this paper is to connect R-fuzzy sets and type-2 fuzzy sets, so as to provide a practical means to express complex uncertainty without the associated difficulty of a type-2 fuzzy set. The paper puts forward a significance measure, to provide a means for understanding the importance of the membership values contained within an R-fuzzy set. The pairing of an R-fuzzy set and the significance measure allows for an intermediary approach to that of a type-2 fuzzy set. By inspecting the returned significance degree of a particular membership value, one is able to ascertain its true significance in relation, relative to other encapsulated membership values. An R-fuzzy set coupled with the proposed significance measure allows for a type-2 fuzzy equivalence, an intermediary, all the while retaining the underlying sentiment of individual and general perspectives, and with the adage of a significantly reduced computational burden. Several human based perception examples are presented, wherein the significance degree is implemented, from which a higher level of detail can be garnered. The results demonstrate that the proposed research method combines the high capacity in uncertainty representation of type-2 fuzzy sets, together with the simplicity and objectiveness of type-1 fuzzy sets. This in turn provides a practical means for problem domains where a type-2 fuzzy set is preferred but difficult to construct due to the subjective type-2 fuzzy membership.

Tuning certainty factor and local weight of fuzzy production rulesby using fuzzy neural network

Approximate reasoning in a fuzzy system is concerned with inferring an approximate conclusion from fuzzy and vague inputs. There are many ways in which different forms of conclusions can be drawn. Fuzzy sets are usually represented by fuzzy membership functions. These membership functions are assumed to have a clearly defined base. For other fuzzy sets such as intelligent, smart, or beautiful, etc., it would be difficult to define clearly its base because its base may consist of several other fuzzy sets or unclear nonfuzzy bases. A method to handle this kind of fuzzy set is proposed. A fuzzy neural network (FNN) is also proposed to tune knowledge representation parameters (KRPs). The contributions are that we are able to handle a broader range of fuzzy sets and build more powerful fuzzy systems so that the conclusions drawn are more meaningful, reliable, and accurate. An experiment is presented to demonstrate how our method works.     

On type-reduction of type-2 fuzzy sets: A review

As an undetachable module of type-2 (T2) fuzzy computations and reasoning, type-reduction methods play an important role in various fuzzy disciplines including fuzzy logic systems and fuzzy clustering. Importance of type-reduction techniques lies in the fact that they are the main tools for collecting the entire inherent vagueness of the data. Therefore, type-reduction methods form the output of type-2 fuzzy sets (T2 FSs) as the representative of the entire uncertainty in a given space. Hence, their accuracy, precision, and performance speed is of much interest. This paper, presents a comprehensive review on various type-reduction and defuzzification strategies for general and interval type-2 fuzzy sets and systems. It is tried to analyze the existing approaches from different point of views accompanied by extensive comparisons on different features of type-reduction methods to facilitate further research studies by the fuzzy community.

General type-2 fuzzy rough sets based on \alpha -plane Representation theory

Rough sets theory and fuzzy sets theory are mathematical tools to deal with uncertainty, imprecision in data analysis. Traditional rough set theory is restricted to crisp environments. Since theories of fuzzy sets and rough sets are distinct and complementary on dealing with uncertainty, the concept of fuzzy rough sets has been proposed. Type-2 fuzzy set provides additional degree of freedom, which makes it possible to directly handle highly uncertainties. Some researchers proposed interval type-2 fuzzy rough sets by combining interval type-2 fuzzy sets and rough sets. However, there are no reports about combining general type-2 fuzzy sets and rough sets. In addition, the $\alpha $ -plane representation method of general type-2 fuzzy sets has been extensively studied, and can reduce the computational workload. Motivated by the aforementioned accomplishments, in this paper, from the viewpoint of constructive approach, we first present definitions of upper and lower approximation operators of general type-2 fuzzy sets by using $\alpha $ -plane representation theory and study some basic properties of them. Furthermore, the connections between special general type-2 fuzzy relations and general type-2 fuzzy rough upper and lower approximation operators are also examined. Finally, in axiomatic approach, various classes of general type-2 fuzzy rough approximation operators are characterized by different sets of axioms.     

An Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Rough Set Model for Attribute Reduction

Rough set theory is a very useful tool for describing and modeling vagueness in ill-defined environments. Traditional rough set theory is restricted to crisp environments. However, nowadays, it has been extended to fuzzy environments, resulting in the development of the so-called fuzzy rough sets. Type-2 fuzzy sets possess many advantages over type-1 fuzzy sets, but for the general type-2 fuzzy sets, the computational complexity is severe. On the other hand, set-theoretic and arithmetic computations for the interval type-2 fuzzy sets are very simple. Motivated by the aforementioned accomplishments, in this paper, the concept of fuzzy rough sets is generalized to interval type-2 fuzzy environments. Subsequently, a method of attribute reduction within the interval type-2 fuzzy rough set framework is proposed. Lastly, the properties of the interval type-2 fuzzy rough sets are presented.
