Modular artificial neural network for prediction of petrophysicalproperties from well log data

An application of Kohonen's self-organizing map (SOM), learning-vector quantization (LVQ) algorithms, and commonly used backpropagation neural network (BPNN) to predict petrophysical properties obtained from well-log data are presented. A modular, artificial neural network (ANN) comprising a complex network made up from a number of subnetworks is introduced. In this approach, the SOM algorithm is applied first to classify the well-log data into a predefined number of classes, This gives an indication of the lithology in the well. The classes obtained from SOM are then appended back to the training input logs for the training of supervised LVQ. After training, LVQ can be used to classify any unknown input logs. A set of BPNN that corresponds to different classes is then trained. Once the network is trained, it is then used as the classification and prediction model for subsequent input data. Results obtained from example studies using the proposed method have shown to be fast and accurate as compared to a single BPNN network     

Mining Software Repository for Cleaning Bugs Using Data Mining Technique

Despite advances in technological complexity and efforts, software repository maintenance requires reusing the data to reduce the effort and complexity. However, increasing ambiguity, irrelevance, and bugs while extracting similar data during software development generate a large amount of data from those data that reside in repositories. Thus, there is a need for a repository mining technique for relevant and bug-free data prediction. This paper proposes a fault prediction approach using a data-mining technique to find good predictors for high-quality software. To predict errors in mining data, the Apriori algorithm was used to discover association rules by fixing confidence at more than 40% and support at least 30%. The pruning strategy was adopted based on evaluation measures. Next, the rules were extracted from three projects of different domains; the extracted rules were then combined to obtain the most popular rules based on the evaluation measure values. To evaluate the proposed approach, we conducted an experimental study to compare the proposed rules with existing ones using four different industrial projects. The evaluation showed that the results of our proposal are promising. Practitioners and developers can utilize these rules for defect prediction during early software development.

Rule generation for protein secondary structure prediction with support vector machines and decision tree

Support vector machines (SVMs) have shown strong generalization ability in a number of application areas, including protein structure prediction. However, the poor comprehensibility hinders the success of the SVM for protein structure prediction. The explanation of how a decision made is important for accepting the machine learning technology, especially for applications such as bioinformatics. The reasonable interpretation is not only useful to guide the "wet experiments," but also the extracted rules are helpful to integrate computational intelligence with symbolic AI systems for advanced deduction. On the other hand, a decision tree has good comprehensibility. In this paper, a novel approach to rule generation for protein secondary structure prediction by integrating merits of both the SVM and decision tree is presented. This approach combines the SVM with decision tree into a new algorithm called SVM/spl I.bar/DT, which proceeds in three steps. This algorithm first trains an SVM. Then, a new training set is generated through careful selection from the output of the SVM. Finally, the obtained training set is used to train a decision tree learning system and to extract the corresponding rule sets. The results of the experiments of protein secondary structure prediction on RS126 data set show that the comprehensibility of SVM/spl I.bar/DT is much better than that of the SVM. Moreover, the generalization ability of SVM/spl I.bar/DT is better than that of C4.5 decision trees and is similar to that of the SVM. Hence, SVM/spl I.bar/DT can be used not only for prediction, but also for guiding biological experiments.

Rule Extraction from Trained Artifical Neural Networks

The neural network rule extraction problem is aimed at obtaining rules from an arbitrarily trained artificial neural network. Recently there have been several approaches to rule extraction. Approaches to rule extraction implement a priori knowledge of data or rule requirements into neural networks before the rules are extracted. Although this may lead to a simplified final phase of acquitting the rules from particular type of neural networks, it limits the methodologies for general-purpose use. This article approaches the neural network rule extraction problem in its essential and general form. Preference is given to multilayer perceptron networks (MLP networks) due to their universal approximation capabilities. The article establishes general theoretical grounds for rule extraction from trained artificial neural networks and further focuses on the problem of crisp rule extraction. The problem of crisp rule extraction from trained MLP networks is first approached on theoretical level. Present ed theoretical results state conditions guaranteeing equivalence between classification by an MLP network and crisp logical formalism. Based on the theoretical results an algorithm for crisp rule extraction, independent of training strategy, is proposed. The rule extraction algorithm can be used even in cases where the theoretical conditions are not strictly satisfied; by offering an approximate classification. An introduced rule extraction algorithm is experimentally demonstrated.

Next-day electricity-price forecasting using a hybrid network

The paper proposes a novel method of forecasting short-term electricity price based on a two-stage hybrid network of self-organised map (SOM) and support-vector machine (SVM). In the first stage, a SOM network is applied to cluster the input-data set into several subsets in an unsupervised manner. Then, a group of SVMs is used to fit the training data of each subset in the second stage in a supervised way. With the trained network, one can predict straightforwardly the next-day hourly electricity prices. To confirm its effectiveness, the proposed model has been trained and tested on the data of historical energy prices from the New England electricity market.     

Parameterization of a fuzzy classifier for the diagnosis of an industrial process

The aim of this paper is to present a classifier based on a fuzzy inference system. For this classifier, we propose a parameterization method, which is not necessarily based on an iterative training. This approach can be seen as a pre-parameterization, which allows the determination of the rules base and the parameters of the membership functions. We also present a continuous and derivable version of the previous classifier and suggest an iterative learning algorithm based on a gradient method. An example using the learning basis IRIS, which is a benchmark for classification problems, is presented showing the performances of this classifier. Finally this classifier is applied to the diagnosis of a DC motor showing the utility of this method. However in many cases the total knowledge necessary to the synthesis of the fuzzy diagnosis system (FDS) is not, in general, directly available. It must be extracted from an often-considerable mass of information. For this reason, a general methodology for the design of a FDS is presented and illustrated on a non-linear plant.     

Computer‐aided diagnosis system for the detection of bronchiectasis in chest computed tomography images

A computer‐aided diagnosis (CAD) system has been developed for the detection of bronchiectasis from computed tomography (CT) images of chest. A set of CT images of the chest with known diagnosis were collected and these images were first denoised using Wiener filter. The lung tissue was then segmented using optimal thresholding. The Pathology Bearing Regions (PBRs) were then extracted by applying pixel‐based segmentation. For each PBR, a gray level co‐occurrence matrix (GLCM) was constructed. From the GLCM texture features were extracted and feature vectors were constructed. A probabilistic neural network (PNN) was constructed and trained using this set of feature vectors. The images together with the PBRs and the corresponding feature vector and diagnosis were stored in an image database. Rules for diagnosis and for determining the severity of the disease were generated by analyzing the images known to be affected by bronchiectasis. The rules were then validated by a human expert. The validated rules were stored in the Knowledge Base. When a physician gives a CT image to the CAD system, it first transforms the image into a set of feature vectors, one for each PBR in the image. It then performs the diagnosis using two techniques: PNN and mahalanobis distance measure. The final diagnosis and the severity of the disease are determined by correlating the diagnosis determined by both the techniques in consultation with the knowledge base. The system also retrieves similar cases from the database. Thus, this system would aid the physicians in diagnosing bronchiectasis. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Bayesian system reliability assessment under fuzzy environments

The Bayesian system reliability assessment under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. In order to apply the Bayesian approach, the fuzzy parameters are assumed as fuzzy random variables with fuzzy prior distributions. The (conventional) Bayes estimation method will be used to create the fuzzy Bayes point estimator of system reliability by invoking the well-known theorem called ‘Resolution Identity’ in fuzzy sets theory. On the other hand, we also provide the computational procedures to evaluate the membership degree of any given Bayes point estimate of system reliability. In order to achieve this purpose, we transform the original problem into a nonlinear programming problem. This nonlinear programming problem is then divided into four subproblems for the purpose of simplifying computation. Finally, the subproblems can be solved by using any commercial optimizers, e.g. GAMS or LINGO.     

Bayesian Rule Modeling for Interpretable Mortality Classification of COVID-19 Patients

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been termed a “Pandemic Disease” that has infected many people and caused many deaths on a nearly unprecedented level. As more people are infected each day, it continues to pose a serious threat to humanity worldwide. As a result, healthcare systems around the world are facing a shortage of medical space such as wards and sickbeds. In most cases, healthy people experience tolerable symptoms if they are infected. However, in other cases, patients may suffer severe symptoms and require treatment in an intensive care unit. Thus, hospitals should select patients who have a high risk of death and treat them first. To solve this problem, a number of models have been developed for mortality prediction. However, they lack interpretability and generalization. To prepare a model that addresses these issues, we proposed a COVID-19 mortality prediction model that could provide new insights. We identified blood factors that could affect the prediction of COVID-19 mortality. In particular, we focused on dependency reduction using partial correlation and mutual information. Next, we used the Class-Attribute Interdependency Maximization (CAIM) algorithm to bin continuous values. Then, we used Jensen Shannon Divergence (JSD) and Bayesian posterior probability to create less redundant and more accurate rules. We provided a ruleset with its own posterior probability as a result. The extracted rules are in the form of “if antecedent then results, posterior probability()”. If the sample matches the extracted rules, then the result is positive. The average AUC Score was 96.77% for the validation dataset and the F1-score was 92.8% for the test data. Compared to the results of previous studies, it shows good performance in terms of classification performance, generalization, and interpretability.     

A new method to deal with fuzzy classification problems by tuning membership functions for fuzzy classification systems

Abstract

This paper presents a new method to construct and tune membership functions and generate fuzzy classification rules from training instances for handling the Iris data classification problem. First, we find two attributes of the Iris data from the training instances that are suitable to serve as classification criteria. Then, we construct and tune the membership functions of these two attributes and generate fuzzy classification rules from the training instances. The proposed method generates the same number of fuzzy classification rules as the number of species of the training instances. It generates fewer fuzzy classification rules and can get a higher average classification accuracy rate than the existing methods.
