This paper presents a methodology to formulate natural language rules for an adaptive neuro-fuzzy system based on discovered knowledge, supported by prior knowledge and statistical modeling. These rules could be improved using statistical methods and neural nets. This gives clinicians a valuable tool to explore the importance of different variables and their relations in a disease and could aid...

This paper presents a methodology to biological image classification through a Rough-Fuzzy Artificial Neural Network (RFANN). This approach is used in order to improve the learning process by Rough Sets Theory (RS) focusing on the feature selection, considering that the RS feature selection allows the use of low dimension features from the image database. This result could be achieved, once the...

The paper presents a comparison of various soft computing techniques used for filtering and enhancing speech signals. The three major techniques that fall under soft computing are neural networks, fuzzy systems and genetic algorithms. Other hybrid techniques such as neuro-fuzzy systems are also available. In general, soft computing techniques have been experimentally observed to give far superi...

To use fuzzy controllers for automization tasks appropriate fuzzy sets and fuzzy rules have to be deened. This can be diicult in some domains, and the resulting controller has to be tuned. Neuro{fuzzy models can help in this tuning process by adapting fuzzy sets and creating fuzzy rules. Combinations of neural networks and fuzzy controllers are suitable if there is only partial knowledge in the...

The purpose of this study is to model and optimize the detection of tar in cigarettes during the manufacturing process and show that low yield cigarettes contain similar levels of nicotine as compared to high yield cigarettes while B (Benzene), T(toluene) and X (xylene) (BTX) levels increase with increasing tar yields. A neuro-fuzzy system which comprises a fuzzy inference structure is used to ...

Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is multi-layer system proposed by Jang, enables to increase the performance by integrates the best features of Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy inference system into a single framework. It is a popular framework for solving complex problems. In this present work, an ANFIS is proposed for detection the risk factor of hypertension. In this work, f...

Models based on neural and neuro-fuzzy structures are developed to represent knowledge about a large data set containing chemical descriptors of organic compounds, commonly used in industrial processes. The neuro-fuzzy models here proposed include both, QSARs and original numerical values. The developed approaches use various techniques to insert knowledge by training, and to map rules in neuro...
