Diagnosis of an automotive emission control system using fuzzy inference

Fault diagnosis of a physical plant is crucial for its healthy performance, as it could ultimately prevent catastrophic failure, help comply with environmental regulations, and enhance customer satisfaction. There exist several methods to detect and isolate incipient faults that might cause a plant’s performance to deviate from the nominal, which can be either subjective or objective. A scheme and methodology for integrating subjective (heuristic) and objective (analytical) knowledge for fault diagnosis and decision-making using fuzzy logic is demonstrated in this paper. Furthermore, the structure, challenges, and benefits of such integration are explored. Also, experimental results of the work carried out are presented.     

Feedforward neural network and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system in study of power lines

Over the past several decades, concerns have been raised over the possibility that the exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields from power lines may have harmful effects on human and living organisms. This paper presents novel approach based on the use of both feedforward neural network (FNN) and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to estimate electric and magnetic fields around an overhead power transmission lines. An FNN and ANFIS used to simulate this problem were trained using the results derived from the previous research. It is shown that proposed approach ensures satisfactory accuracy and can be a very efficient tool and useful alternative for such investigations.     

Scenery image recognition and interpretation using fuzzy inference neural networks

In this paper, we propose a new image recognition and interpretation system. The proposed system is composed of three processes: (1) regional segmentation process; (2) image recognition process; and (3) image interpretation process. As a pre-processing in the regional segmentation process, an input image is divided into some proper regions using techniques based on K-means algorithm. In both the image recognition and the interpretation processes, fuzzy inference neural networks (FINNs) working in parallel are employed to achieve a high level of recognition and interpretation. Scenery images are used and it is confirmed that the system has an average of 71.9% accuracy rate in the recognition process and good results in the interpretation process without heuristic knowledge. In addition, it is also confirmed that the proposed system has an ability to extract proper rules for the image recognition and interpretation.     

Adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system for prediction of surface roughness in end milling process using hybrid Taguchi-genetic learning algorithm

In this paper, an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with the genetic learning algorithm is used to predict the workpiece surface roughness for the end milling process. The hybrid Taguchi-genetic learning algorithm (HTGLA) is applied in the ANFIS to determine the most suitable membership functions and to simultaneously find the optimal premise and consequent parameters by directly minimizing the root-mean-squared-error performance criterion. Experimental results show that the HTGLA-based ANFIS approach outperforms the ANFIS methods given in the Matlab toolbox and reported recently in the literature in terms of prediction accuracy.     

Concrete bridge deterioration diagnosis using fuzzy inference system

Bridge management systems (BMSs) are being developed in recent years to assist various authorities on the decision making in various stages of bridge maintenance, which requires, first of all, appropriate preliminary deterioration diagnosis and modeling. This paper presents a knowledge-based system for bridge damage diagnosis that aims to provide bridge designers with valuable information about the impacts of design factors on bridge deterioration. The validity of the influence parameters is verified by the principal component analysis (PCA). Fuzzy logic is utilized to handle uncertainties and imprecision involved, and a modified mountain clustering method (MMM) is employed for knowledge acquisition. The generated rule base is further optimized by the descent method (DM). Illustrative examples indicate that the techniques of the MMM, the PCA and the DM are reliable and efficient tools in generating diagnosis rules and in developing inference systems.     

Adaptive-tree-structure-based fuzzy inference system

A new fuzzy inference system named adaptive-tree-structure-based fuzzy inference system (ATSFIS) is proposed, which is abbreviated as fuzzy tree (FT). The fuzzy partition of input data set and the membership function of every subset are obtained by means of the fuzzy binary tree structure based algorithm. Two structures of FT, FT-I, and FT-II, are presented. The characteristics of FT are: 1) The parameters of antecedent and consequent for a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model are learned simultaneously; and 2) The fuzzy partition of input data set is adaptive to the pattern of data distribution to optimize the number of the subsets automatically. The main advantage of FT is more suitable to solve the problems, for which the number of input dimension is large, since by using the fuzzy binary tree, every farther set will be partitioned into only two subsets no matter how large the input dimension is. Therefore, in some sense the "rule explosion" will be avoided possibly. In comparison with some existing fuzzy inference systems, it is shown that the FT is also of less computation and high accuracy. The advantages of FT are illustrated by simulation results.

Improvement of newborn screening using a fuzzy inference system

This paper presents a decision support system (DSS) called DSScreening to rapidly detect inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) in newborn screening (NS). The system has been created using the Aide-DS framework, which uses techniques imported from model-driven software engineering (MDSE) and soft computing, and it is available through eGuider, a web portal for the enactment of computerised clinical practice guidelines and protocols.MDSE provides the context and techniques to build new software artefacts based on models which conform to a specific metamodel. It also offers separation of concern, to disassociate medical from technological knowledge, thus allowing changes in one domain without affecting the other. The changes might include, for instance, the addition of new disorders to the DSS or new measures to the computation related to a disorder. Artificial intelligence and soft computing provide fuzzy logic to manage uncertainty and ambiguous situations. Fuzzy logic is embedded in an inference system to build a fuzzy inference system (FIS); specifically, a single-input rule modules connected zero-order Takagi-Sugeno FIS. The automatic creation of FISs is performed by the Aide-DS framework, which is capable of embedding the generated FISs in computerized clinical guidelines. It can also create a desktop application to execute the FIS. Technologically, it supports the addition of new target languages for the desktop applications and the inclusion of new ways of acquiring data.DSScreening has been tested by comparing its predictions with the results of 152 real analyses from two groups: (1) NS samples and (2) clinical samples belonging to individuals of all ages with symptoms that do not necessarily correspond to an IEM. The system has reduced the time needed by 98.7% when compared to the interpretation time spent by laboratory professionals. Besides, it has correctly classified 100% of the NS samples and obtained an accuracy of 70% for samples belonging to individuals with clinical symptoms.     

Hypoglycaemia detection using fuzzy inference system with intelligent optimiser

Hypoglycaemia is a medical term for a body state with a low level of blood glucose. It is a common and serious side effect of insulin therapy in patients with diabetes. In this paper, we propose a system model to measure physiological parameters continuously to provide hypoglycaemia detection for Type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) patients. The resulting model is a fuzzy inference system (FIS). The heart rate (HR), corrected QT interval of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal (QT_c), change of HR, and change of QT_c are used as the input of the FIS to detect the hypoglycaemic episodes. An intelligent optimiser is designed to optimise the FIS parameters that govern the membership functions and the fuzzy rules. The intelligent optimiser has an implementation framework that incorporates two wavelet mutated differential evolution optimisers to enhance the training performance. A multi-objective optimisation approach is used to perform the training of the FIS in order to meet the medical standards on sensitivity and specificity. Experiments with real data of 16 children (569 data points) with TIDM are studied in this paper. The data are randomly separated into a training set with 5 patients (l99 data points), a validation set with 5 patients (177 data points) and a testing set with 5 patients (193 data points). Experiment results show that the proposed FIS tuned by the proposed intelligent optimiser can offer good performance of classification.

Immediate water quality assessment in shrimp culture using fuzzy inference systems

The continuous monitoring of physical, chemical and biological parameters in shrimp culture is an important activity for detecting potential crisis that can be harmful for the organisms. Water quality can be assessed through toxicological tests evaluated directly from water quality parameters involved in the ecosystem; these tests provide an indicator about the water quality. The aim of this study is to develop a fuzzy inference system based on a reasoning process, which involves aquaculture criteria established by official organizations and researchers for assessing water quality by analyzing the main factors that affect a shrimp ecosystem. We propose to organize the water quality parameters in groups according to their importance; these groups are defined as daily, weekly and by request monitoring. Additionally, we introduce an analytic hierarchy process to define priorities for more critical water quality parameters and groups. The proposed system analyzes the most important parameters in shrimp culture, detects potential negative situations and provides a new water quality index (WQI), which describes the general status of the water quality as excellent, good, regular and poor. The Canadian water quality and other well-known hydrological indices are used to compare the water quality parameters of the shrimp water farm. Results show that WQI index has a better performance than other indices giving a more accurate assessment because the proposed fuzzy inference system integrates all environmental behaviors giving as result a complete score. This fuzzy inference system emerges as an appropriated tool for assessing site performance, providing assistance to improve production through contingency actions in polluted ponds.     

Learning fuzzy inference systems using an adaptive membershipfunction scheme

An adaptive membership function scheme for general additive fuzzy systems is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme can adapt a proper membership function for any nonlinear input-output mapping, based upon a minimum number of rules and an initial approximate membership function. This parameter adjustment procedure is performed by computing the error between the actual and the desired decision surface. Using the proposed adaptive scheme for fuzzy system, the number of rules can be minimized. Nonlinear function approximation and truck backer-upper control system are employed to demonstrate the viability of the proposed method.     

Using multiple uncertain examples and adaptative fuzzy reasoning to optimize image characterization

This article proposes an automatic characterization method by comparing unknown images with examples more or less known. Our approach allows to use uncertain examples but easy to obtain (e.g. by automatic retrieval on the Internet). The use of fuzzy logic and adaptive clustering makes it possible to reduce automatically the noise from this database by preserving only the examples having a strong level of redundancy in the dominant shapes. To validate this method, we compared our artificial process of recognition with the estimation of human operators. The tests show that the automatic process gives an average accuracy of the characterization near to 95%.     

Adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system vs. other classification algorithms for warped LPC-based speech/music discrimination

Automatic discrimination of speech and music is an important tool in many multimedia applications. The paper presents an effective approach based on an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for the classification stage required in a speech/music discrimination system. A new simple feature, called warped LPC-based spectral centroid (WLPC-SC), is also proposed. Comparison between WLPC-SC and the classical features proposed in the literature for audio classification is performed, aiming to assess the good discriminatory power of the proposed feature. The vector length used to describe the proposed psychoacoustic-based feature is reduced to a few statistical values (mean, variance and skewness). With the aim of increasing the classification accuracy percentage, the feature space is then transformed to a new feature space by LDA. The classification task is performed applying ANFIS to the features in the transformed space. To evaluate the performance of the ANFIS system for speech/music discrimination, comparison to other commonly used classifiers is reported. The classification results for different types of music and speech signals show the good discriminating power of the proposed approach.

Fault isolation in analog circuits using a fuzzy inference system

This paper introduces a fuzzy inference system (FIS) for single analog fault diagnosis. The ability of fuzzy logic to encode structured knowledge in a numerical framework is exploited in isolating faults in analog circuits. A training set that simulates the behaviour of the circuit due to a set of anticipated single faults as well as the fault-free situation is first constructed. For each anticipated fault, this set relates the circuit measurements to the corresponding deviation in the faulty circuit element from its nominal. These measurements and the deviations in circuit elements are both fuzzified into appropriate linguistic fuzzy values. A fuzzy rule base for each fault that characterizes the circuit response by linking symptoms to causes is built. The outputs of the fuzzy rule bases are then defuzzified to recover crisp values for the deviations in circuit elements. A fault diagnosis procedure that utilizes the proposed FIS is also presented along with a brief analysis and comparison with a number of existing artificial intelligence-based techniques. A test example that demonstrates the potential of this procedure in fault isolation is illustrated.     

Diagnosis of feedwater heater performance degradation using fuzzy inference system

Power generation facilities cannot avoid performance degradation caused by severe operating conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, as well as the aging of facilities. Since the performance degradation of facilities can inflict economic on power generation plants, a systematic method is required to accurately diagnose the conditions of the facilities.This paper introduces the fuzzy inference system, which applies fuzzy theory in order to diagnose performance degradation in feedwater heaters among power generation facilities. The reason for selecting only feedwater heaters as the object of analysis is that it plays an important role in the performance degradation of power generation plants, which have recently been reported with failures. In addition, feedwater heaters have the advantage of using many data types that can be used in fuzzy inference because of low measurement limits compared to other facilities. Fuzzy inference systems consists of fuzzy sets and rules with linguistic variables based on expert knowledge, experience and simulation results to efficiently handle various uncertainties of the target facility. We proposed a method for establishing a more elaborate system. According to the experimental results, inference can be made with consideration on uncertainties by quantifying the target based on fuzzy theory. Based on this study, implementation of a fuzzy inference system for diagnosis of feedwater heater performance degradation is expected to contribute to the efficient management of power generation plants.     

Study of impact from the genetic algorithm combined adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system model on business performance

Not only does business performance serve a major indicator for investors＇ decision, but it also has a lot to do with employees＇ living. Generally speaking, when predicting or analyzing business performance classification, most researchers adopt corporate financial early-warning or credit rating models, which pretty much use previous data and facts. Therefore, this paper brings about an alternative method to discriminate between excellent and poor business management, so as to take preventive measures prior to business crisis or bankruptcy. We collect the financial reports and financial ratios from the listed firms in mainland China and Taiwan as our samples to build up tbur kinds of forecasting models for business performance. The empirical results show that the GAANFIS model provides better classification forecasting capability than other models do while ANFIS model adjusted by genetic algorithm could effectively enhance the classification forecasting capability.     

A fuzzy inference system-based criterion-referenced assessment model

The main aim of criterion-referenced assessment (CRA) is to report students’ achievements in accordance with a set of references. In practice, a score is given to each test item (or task). The scores from different test items are added together and then projected or aggregated, usually linearly, to produce a total score. Each component score can be weighted before being added together in order to reflect the relative importance of each test item. In this paper, the use of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) as an alternative to the conventional addition or weighted addition in CRA is investigated. A novel FIS-based CRA model is presented, and two important properties, i.e., the monotonicity and sub-additivity properties, of the FIS-based CRA model are investigated. A case study relating to assessment of laboratory projects in a university is conducted. The results indicate the usefulness of the FIS-based CRA model in comparing and assessing students’ performances with human linguistic terms. Implications of the importance of the monotonicity and sub-additivity properties of the FIS-based CRA model in undertaking general assessment problems are discussed.
