Neuro-fuzzy modeling may be qualified as a grey-box technique, since it combines the transparency of rule-based fuzzy systems with the learning capability of neural networks. The main problem in the identification of non-linear processes is the lack of complete information. Certain variables are, either immeasurable or difficult to measure, the soft sensors are the necessary tools to solve the ...

Soft computing can be used to build hybrid intelligent systems for achieving different goals in real-world applications. Soft Computing (SC) techniques include, at the moment, fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, chaos theory methods, and similar techniques that have been proposed in recent years. Each of these techniques has advantages and disadvantages, and several real-world pro...

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...

OBJECTIVE To investigate different fuzzy arithmetical operations to support in the diagnostic of epileptic events and non epileptic events. METHOD A neuro-fuzzy system was developed using the NEFCLASS (NEuro Fuzzy CLASSIfication) architecture and an artificial neural network with backpropagation learning algorithm (ANNB). RESULTS The study was composed by 244 patients with a bigger frequenc...

This paper describes the fuzzy modeling of permanent magnet generator for studying its mechanical dynamic analysis. Firstly electromagnetic torque analysis of the generator is carried out using finite element based package. Then fuzzy model of the generator is developed. Performance was evaluated by comparing, integrated fuzzy model, individual fuzzy model and finite element model for the gener...

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy network where all its parameters can be tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms. The approach combines the merits of fuzzy logic theory, neural networks and genetic algorithms. The proposed neuro-fuzzy network does not require a priori knowledge about the system and eliminates the need for complicated design steps like manual tuning of input-output member...

In this paper, we derive new neuro-fuzzy structures called flexible neuro-fuzzy inference systems or FLEXNFIS. Based on the input-output data, we learn not only the parameters of the membership functions but also the type of the systems (Mamdani or logical). Moreover, we introduce: 1) softness to fuzzy implication operators, to aggregation of rules and to connectives of antecedents; 2) certaint...
