Determination of the permeability coefficient is crucial for the solution of several geotechnical engineering problems such as modeling of underground flow, determination of the hydraulic properties of leachate water in waste disposal areas, calculation of the compressibility, and so on. Constant head permeability test, which is usually performed for the determination of the permeability, is ea...

Fuzzy inference systems have been applied in recent years in various medical fields due to their ability to obtain good results featuring white-box models. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), which combines adaptive neural network capabilities with the fuzzy logic qualitative approach, has been previously used in modelling survival of breast cancer patients based on patient groups de...

Submitted: Jun 23, 2013; Accepted: Jul 20, 2013; Published: Jul 25, 2013 Abstract: Peculiar features of development of hybrid adaptive systems using neuro-fuzzy network structures are discussed. Quality and amount of information about an object is insufficient. Classical, adaptive, robust, fuzzy, neural methods of regulator designing have been compared. Problem of parameter adjustment of neuro-...

The paper introduces an early-warning method using multiple financial crises indicators which outputs relevant alerts compared to a precise indication of crisis inception, serving as an effective tool for decision makers. By leveraging fuzzy logic techniques, we design a multi-level fuzzy decision support system based on the evolution of credit growth, housing prices and GDP gap. A neuro-fuzzy ...

A new approach to data stream clustering with the help of an ensemble of adaptive neuro-fuzzy systems is proposed. The proposed ensemble is formed with adaptive neuro-fuzzy self-organizing Kohonen maps in a parallel processing mode. Their learning procedure is carried out with different parameters that define a nature of cluster borders’ blurriness. Clusters’ quality is estimated in an online m...

An innovative adaptive control method for speed control of induction motor based on field oriented control is presented in this paper. The fusion of sliding-mode and type-2 neuro fuzzy systems is used to control this system. An online learning algorithm based on sliding-mode training algorithm, and type-2 fuzzy systems is employed to deal with parametric uncertainties and disturbances, by adjus...

The integration of neural networks and fuzzy inference systems could be formulated into three main categories: cooperative, concurrent and integrated neuro-fuzzy models. We present three different types of cooperative neuro-fuzzy models namely fuzzy associative memories, fuzzy rule extraction using self-organizing maps and systems capable of learning fuzzy set parameters. Different Mamdani and ...

In this paper, a quantum neuro-fuzzy classifier (QNFC) for classification applications is proposed. The proposed QNFC model is a five-layer structure, which combines the compensatory-based fuzzy reasoning method with the traditional Takagi–Sugeno–Kang (TSK) fuzzy model. The compensatory-based fuzzy reasoning method uses adaptive fuzzy operations of neuro-fuzzy systems that can make the fuzzy lo...

daily constant discharges are needed estimating daily discharge in the hydrological model. the different number of statistical years, statistical deficiencies, and measurement error leads to the formation of time series with an uncommon time base. hence the reconstruction of daily discharge data is of paramount importance. in this research, daily discharge was reconstructed in two stages in one...

A neuro-fuzzy system has been developed to model the behaviour of a fast ferry. The sources of the available knowledge are the physical laws of the vertical dynamics of the craft, and some experimental and simulated data of the ship performance in regular waves. The non-linear model has been obtained by applying adaptive neurofuzzy inference. It is focus on the vertical motion of the craft, bot...
