This paper provides a corrected formulation to the mixed integer programming model proposed by Aydogan et al. (2012) [1]. They proposed a genetic algorithm to learn fuzzy rules for a fuzzy rule-based classification system and developed a Mixed Integer Programming model (MIP) to prune the generated rules by selecting the best set of rules to maximize predictive accuracy. However, their proposed ...

This paper aims to present an improved rule-based fingerprint classification using coherence method and a fuzzy rule-based (or simply fuzzy-based) fingerprint classification. The improved classification using coherence method has been applied to fingerprint images that do not previously produce any singular points while the fuzzy rule-based classification is designed based on the uncertainty in...

This paper proposes a rule selection method with the destructive learning algorithm to construct a compact fuzzy classification system with high performance. In this paper, first we construct a fuzzy classification system by generating fuzzy rules from numerical data, and consider the fuzzy classification system based on fuzzy rules a network. Then we select significant fuzzy rules from the rul...

In this paper, we examine the classification performance of fuzzy if-then rules selected by a GA-based multi-objective rule selection method. This rule selection method can be applied to high-dimensional pattern classification problems with many continuous attributes by restricting the number of antecedent conditions of each candidate fuzzy if-then rule. As candidate rules, we only use fuzzy if...

Fuzzy classification rules allow the definition of readable and interpretable rule bases. Nevertheless, the shape of the resulting class borders of fuzzy classification rules depends to a great part on the used tnorm and t-conorm and can sometimes even be counter-intuitive. In this paper we discuss the shape of class borders between overlapping rules under consideration of different t-norms and...

web usage mining (wum) is the automatic discovering of hidden informationof user access pattern from the web log data. frequent pattern discovery is one ofthe main techniques in wum that can be used to implement recommender systems,forecast user`s navigational behaviour, and personalize web sites. many algorithmshave been suggested on obtaining frequent user navigation patterns. this paperprese...

In this paper, we present a multistage genetic learning process for obtaining linguistic fuzzy rule-based classification systems that integrates fuzzy reasoning methods cooperating with the fuzzy rule base and learns the best set of linguistic hedges for the linguistic variable terms. We show the application of the genetic learning process to two well known sample bases, and compare the results...

Efforts to artificially produce intelligence via association of computing methodologies to cooperatively achieve higher performance system requirements have reached considerable maturity. In many fields, hybrid systems have succeeded to provide theoretical basis and methodological support to build real world applications. For instance, intelligent systems applications in areas such as modeling,...

This paper briefly elaborates on a development in (applied) fuzzy logic that has taken place in the last couple of decades, namely, the complementation or even replacement of the traditional knowledge-based approach to fuzzy rule-based systems design by a data-driven one. It is argued that the classical rule-based modeling paradigm is actually more amenable to the knowledge-based approach, for ...
