چکیده

An important and difficult issue in designing a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is the specification of fuzzy sets, and fuzzy rules. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how an additional qualitative information, i.e., monotonicity property, can be exploited and extended to be part of an FIS designing procedure (i.e., fuzzy sets and fuzzy rules design). In this paper, the FIS is employed as an alternative to the use of addition in aggregating the scores from test items/tasks in a Criterion-Referenced Assessment (CRA) model. In order to preserve the monotonicity property, the sufficient conditions of the FIS is proposed. Our proposed FIS based CRA procedure can be viewed as an enhancement for the FIS based CRA procedure, where monotonicity property is preserved. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach with a case study related to a laboratory project assessment task at a university, and the results indicate the usefulness of the proposed approach in the CRA domain.

In this paper, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) that incorporated with an analogical reasoning schema based criterion-referenced assessment (CRA) is proposed. The aim of CRA is to report students’ achievement with reference to a set of objective reference points. Usually, scores were given to each task in order to eases the assessment as in common practice. A total-score is further obtained with ...

APPLICATION OF ADAPTIVE NEURO-FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEM FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGED ZONE AROUND UNDERGROUND SPACES

The development of an excavation damaged zone (EDZ) around an underground excavation can change the physical, mechanical and hydraulic behaviors of the rock mass near an underground space. This might result in endangering safety, achievement of costs and excavation planed. This paper presents an approach to build a prediction model for the assessment of EDZ, based upon rock mass characteristics...
