This paper presents a fuzzy filtered neural network approach as an application to handwritten numerical representation. A multilayer feedforward adaptive network is used for training the model and for application of the fuzzy filters. Fuzzy filters are integrated with the neural nets for processing the physical data of the images available for the handwritten digits. The use of the fuzzy filter...

We consider a generalized model of neural network with a fuzziness and chaos. The origin of the fuzzy signals lies in complex biochemical and electrical processes of the synapse and dendrite membrane excitation and the inhibition mechanism. The mathematical operations included into fuzzy neural network modeling are: the scalar product between inputs of layers and synaptic weights is replaced by...

| In this paper we present NEFCON-I, a graphical simulation environment for building and training neural fuzzy controllers based on the NEF-CON model 6]. NEFCON-I is an X-Window based software that allows a user to specify initial fuzzy sets, fuzzy rules and a rule based fuzzy error. The neural fuzzy controller is trained by a reinforcement learning procedure which is derived from the fuzzy err...

A fuzzy neural network, Falcon-MART, is proposed in this paper. This is a modi®cation of the original Falcon-ART architecture. Both Falcon-ART and Falcon-MART are fuzzy neural networks that can be used as fuzzy controllers or applied to areas such as forgery detection, pattern recognition and data analysis. They constitute a group of hybrid systems that incorporate fuzzy logic into neural netwo...

In this paper a new backpropagation learning method enhanced with type-2 fuzzy logic is presented. Simulation results and a comparative study among monolithic neural networks, neural network with type-1 fuzzy weights and neural network with type-2 fuzzy weights are presented to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. In this work, type-2 fuzzy inference systems are used to obtain the ...

| In this paper we present a new kind of neural network architecture designed for control tasks, which we call fuzzy neural network. The structure of the network can be interpreted in terms of a fuzzy controller. It has a three-layered architecture and uses fuzzy sets as its weights. The fuzzy error backpropagation algorithm, a special learning algorithm inspired by the standard BP-procedure fo...

This document describes the architecture of neuro fuzzy systems. First part of the document provides a review of general notions of fuzzy logic, and structure of fuzzy systems. A procedure and different types of fuzzy reasoning are described. The second part is devoted to the neural networks and to the simplest model of artificial neuron. In the third part, the similarities and differences betw...

Neural networks and fuzzy systems have been the subject of much interest in recent years for the control of nonlinear processes. Much research has been directed at indirect control schemes where, basically, the neural network or fuzzy system has been used to identify the process, and a controller has been synthesised from this model. An alternative approach is that of direct control where the n...

Based on previous work on encoding deterministic nite-state automata (DFAs) in discrete-time, second-order recurrent neural networks with sigmoidal discriminant functions, we propose an algorithm that constructs an augmented recurrent neural network that encodes fuzzy nite-state automata (FFAs). Given an arbitrary FFA, we apply an algorithm which transforms the FFA into an equivalent determinis...
