A fast approach for automatic generation of fuzzy rules bygeneralized dynamic fuzzy neural networks

A fast approach for automatically generating fuzzy rules from sample patterns using generalized dynamic fuzzy neural networks (GD-FNNs) is presented. The GD-FNN is built based on ellipsoidal basis functions and functionally is equivalent to a Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy system. The salient characteristics of the GD-FNN are: (1) structure identification and parameters estimation are performed automatically and simultaneously without partitioning input space and selecting initial parameters a priori; (2) fuzzy rules can be recruited or deleted dynamically; (3) fuzzy rules can be generated quickly without resorting to the backpropagation (BP) iteration learning, a common approach adopted by many existing methods. The GD-FNN is employed in a wide range of applications ranging from static function approximation and nonlinear system identification to time-varying drug delivery system and multilink robot control. Simulation results demonstrate that a compact and high-performance fuzzy rule-base can be constructed. Comprehensive comparisons with other latest approaches show that the proposed approach is superior in terms of learning efficiency and performance

An interactive method for dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute group decision making

This paper investigates the dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute group decision making (DIF-MAGDM) problems, in which all the attribute values provided by multiple decision makers (DMs) at different periods take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs), and develops an interactive method to solve the DIF-MAGDM problems. The developed method first aggregates the individual intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrices at different periods into an individual collective intuitionistic fuzzy decision matrix for each decision maker by using the dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (DIFWA) operator, and then employs intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method to calculate the individual relative closeness coefficient of each alternative for each decision maker and obtain the individual ranking of alternatives. After doing so, the method utilizes the hybrid weighted averaging (HWA) operator to aggregate all the individual relative closeness coefficients into the collective relative closeness coefficient of each alternative and obtain the aggregate ranking of alternatives, by which the optimal alternative can be selected. In addition, the spearman correlation coefficient for both the aggregate ranking and individual ranking of alternatives is calculated to measure the consensus level of the group preferences. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the developed method.

A new identification method for fuzzy linear models of nonlinear dynamic systems

The most promising methods for identifying a fuzzy model are data clustering, cluster merging and subsequent projection of the clusters on the input variable space. This article proposes to modify this procedure by adding a cluster rotation step, and a method for the direct calculation of the consequence parameters of the fuzzy linear model. These two additional steps make the model identification procedure more accurate and limits the loss of information during the identification procedure. The proposed method has been tested on a nonlinear first order model and a nonlinear model of a bioreactor and results are very promising.     

基于CNN和BiLSTM的短文本相似度计算方法

文本语义相似度学习在自然语言处理领域扮演着重要角色。传统的基于统计学习的方法只能对句子的浅层语义进行建模,在深层语义上效果表现不佳。针对统计学习方法无法有效解决深层语义的问题,提出一种基于卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Networks,CNN)和双向长短期记忆(Bidirectional Long Short Term Memory,BiLSTM)相结合的短文本相似度计算方法,利用CNN与BiLSTM相结合的孪生神经网络结构提取句子不同粒度的特征,对句子进行深层语义编码。此外,结合attention机制将提取到的单词级别的特征组合拼接成句子的语义向量表示,最后通过匹配层来判断文本的语义相似度。实验结果表明,基于Quora Questions Pairs数据集,所提出的短文本相似度计算方法准确率为84. 58%,F1值为85. 02%,优于其他方法。

Knowledge-based fuzzy MLP for classification and rule generation

A new scheme of knowledge-based classification and rule generation using a fuzzy multilayer perceptron (MLP) is proposed. Knowledge collected from a data set is initially encoded among the connection weights in terms of class a priori probabilities. This encoding also includes incorporation of hidden nodes corresponding to both the pattern classes and their complementary regions. The network architecture, in terms of both links and nodes, is then refined during training. Node growing and link pruning are also resorted to. Rules are generated from the trained network using the input, output, and connection weights in order to justify any decision(s) reached. Negative rules corresponding to a pattern not belonging to a class can also be obtained. These are useful for inferencing in ambiguous cases. Results on real life and synthetic data demonstrate that the speed of learning and classification performance of the proposed scheme are better than that obtained with the fuzzy and conventional versions of the MLP (involving no initial knowledge encoding). Both convex and concave decision regions are considered in the process.     

Automatic evolution of programs for procedural generation of terrains for video games

Nowadays the video game industry is facing a big challenge to keep costs under control as games become bigger and more complex. Creation of game content, such as character models, maps, levels, textures, sound effects and so on, represent a big slice of total game production cost. Hence, the video game industry is increasingly turning to procedural content generation to amplify the cost-effectiveness of the efforts of video game designers. However, procedural methods for automated content generation are difficult to create and parametrize. In this work we study a genetic programming-based procedural content technique to generate procedural terrains that do not require parametrization, thus, allowing to save time and help reducing production costs. Generated procedural terrains present aesthetic appeal; however, unlike most techniques involving aesthetic, our approach does not require a human to perform the evaluation. Instead, the search is guided by the weighted sum of two morphological metrics: terrain accessibility and obstacle edge length. The combination of the two metrics allowed us to find a wide range of fit terrains that present more scattered obstacles in different locations than our previous approach with a single metric. Procedural terrains produced by this technique are already in use in a real video game.     

Coalitional game with fuzzy payoffs and credibilistic core

As an important branch of game theory, coalitional game deals with situations that involve cooperation among the players. This paper deals with this topic further by incorporating the fuzzy payoff information. Based on the credibility theory, we introduce two decision criteria to define the preferences of players, which leads to two definitions of credibilistic cores—the solution of coalitional game with fuzzy transferable payoffs. Meanwhile, we give a sufficient and necessary condition to ensure non-emptiness of the credibilistic cores. Finally, an example is provided for illustrating the usefulness of the theory developed in this paper.     

Automatic fuzzy ontology generation for semantic Web

Ontology is an effective conceptualism commonly used for the semantic Web. Fuzzy logic can be incorporated to ontology to represent uncertainty information. Typically, fuzzy ontology is generated from a predefined concept hierarchy. However, to construct a concept hierarchy for a certain domain can be a difficult and tedious task. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes the FOGA (fuzzy ontology generation framework) for automatic generation of fuzzy ontology on uncertainty information. The FOGA framework comprises the following components: fuzzy formal concept analysis, concept hierarchy generation, and fuzzy ontology generation. We also discuss approximating reasoning for incremental enrichment of the ontology with new upcoming data. Finally, a fuzzy-based technique for integrating other attributes of database to the ontology is proposed.

New dynamic fuzzy structure and dynamic system identification

In this study, a new fuzzy system structure that reduces the number of inputs is proposed for dynamic system identification applications. Algebraic fuzzy systems have some disadvantages due to many inputs. As the number of inputs increase, the number of parameters in the training process increase and hence the classical fuzzy system becomes more complex. In the conventional fuzzy system structure, the past information of both inputs and outputs are also regarded as inputs for dynamic systems, therefore the number of inputs may not be manageable even for single input and single output systems. The new dynamic fuzzy system module (DFM) proposed here has only a single input and a single output. We have carried out identification simulations to test the proposed approach and shown that the DFM can successfully identify non-linear dynamic systems and it performs better than the classical fuzzy system.     

A hybrid method based on dynamic compensatory fuzzy neural network algorithm for face recognition

Human face recognition skills can make simultaneous use of a variety of information from the face, including information about the age, sex, race, identity, and even current mood of the person. In this paper, a hybrid method combined Eigenface-LDA with Dynamic Compensatory Fuzzy Neural Network (DCFNN) is proposed for face recognition. Eigenfaces-LDA algorithm is used for face image of dimensionality reduction and finding a best subspace for classification, the extracted feature will be considered as the input of DCFNN. An improved Dynamic Fuzzy Neural Network is proposed by combing Dynamic Fuzzy Neural Network and Compensatory Fuzzy Neural Network to solve the problem of feature classification. The proposed method has been tested on ORL and Yale face database; the experimental results show that our method can reduce the dimension of facial features well and recognize faces that under different illumination, pose and expression accurately.
