An improved FCMBP fuzzy clustering method based on evolutionary programming

In current PC computing environment, the fuzzy clustering method based on perturbation (FCMBP) is failed when dealing with similar matrices whose orders are higher than tens. The reason is that the traversal process adopted in FCMBP is exponential complexity. This paper treated the process of finding fuzzy equivalent matrices with smallest error from an optimization point of view and proposed an improved FCMBP fuzzy clustering method based on evolutionary programming. The method seeks the optimal fuzzy equivalent matrix which is nearest to the given fuzzy similar matrix by evolving a population of candidate solutions over a number of generations. A new population is formed from an existing population through the use of a mutation operator. Better solutions survive into next generation and finally the globally optimal fuzzy equivalent matrix could be obtained or approximately obtained. Compared with FCMBP, the improved method has the following advantages: (1) Traversal searching is avoided by introducing an evolutionary programming based optimization technique. (2) For low-order matrices, the method has much better efficiency in finding the globally optimal fuzzy equivalent matrix. (3) Matrices with hundreds of orders could be managed. The method could quickly get a more accurate solution than that obtained by the transitive closure method and higher precision requirement could be achieved by further iterations. And the method is adaptable for matrices of higher order. (4) The method is robust and not sensitive to parameters.     

Performance Analysis of Gradient Neural Network Exploited for Online Time-Varying Matrix Inversion

This technical note presents theoretical analysis and simulation results on the performance of a classic gradient neural network (GNN), which was designed originally for constant matrix inversion but is now exploited for time-varying matrix inversion. Compared to the constant matrix-inversion case, the gradient neural network inverting a time-varying matrix could only approximately approach its time-varying theoretical inverse, instead of converging exactly. In other words, the steady-state error between the GNN solution and the theoretical/exact inverse does not vanish to zero. In this technical note, the upper bound of such an error is estimated firstly. The global exponential convergence rate is then analyzed for such a Hopfield-type neural network when approaching the bound error. Computer-simulation results finally substantiate the performance analysis of this gradient neural network exploited to invert online time-varying matrices.     

A new approach to distributed control for multi-agent systems based on approximate upper and lower bounds

In this paper, the distributed control of the LQR problem for continuous-time multi-agent systems is considered. Based on the centralized optimal control, we prove that the solution of the algebraic Riccati equation is the maximal solution of the algebraic Riccati inequality. The algebraic relations of the solutions of the algebraic Riccati equations for different weighted matrices are shown and two distributed controllers are designed: the fully distributed one and the interconnected distributed one. They can provide an upper bounds and a lower bounds of the centralized optimal cost function. The optimal closed-loop feedback control systems for the two distributed controllers are also asymptotically stable. Some examples are given to show the correctness of the proposed results.

Building language resources for a Multi-Engine English-Filipino machine translation system

In this paper, we present the building of various language resources for a multi-engine bi-directional English-Filipino Machine Translation (MT) system. Since linguistics information on Philippine languages are available, but as of yet, the focus has been on theoretical linguistics and little is done on the computational aspects of these languages, attempts are reported here on the manual construction of these language resources such as the grammar, lexicon, morphological information, and the corpora which were literally built from almost non-existent digital forms. Due to the inherent difficulties of manual construction, we also discuss our experiments on various technologies for automatic extraction of these resources to handle the intricacies of the Filipino language, designed with the intention of using them for the MT system. To implement the different MT engines and to ensure the improvement of translation quality, other language tools (such as the morphological analyzer and generator, and the part of speech tagger) were developed.

Thermal shock of ß-alumina with zirconia additions

Sodium-alumina electrolyte tubes were prepared from spray dried precursor powders with additions of 2, 5, 10 and 15 wt % ZrO₂ made by the sodium zirconate route. The thermal shock behaviour of ring segments cut from the tubes was examined by quenching into water at 0° C. At the 2% ZrO₂ level the dispersed ZrO₂ particle size was low, <0.5m, and the tetragonal phase was retained. For higher weight fractions, particle coarsening during the-alumina sintering schedule was extensive and the large particles transformed to monoclinic on cooling. At the 15% ZrO₂ level the-alumina had a slightly reduced strength and high resistance to thermal shock and to thermal shock damage, quenching into water from 800° C effecting only a 43% reduction in strength. These observations are consistent with the effects of microcracking in the vicinity of second phase ZrO₂ particles.
