In this paper, a classification method based on fuzzy linguistic rules is exposed. It is applied for the recognition of the gradual color of wood in an industrial context. The wood, which is a natural material, implies uncertainty in the definition of its color. Moreover, the timber context leads obtaining imprecise data. Several factors can have an impact on the sensors (ageing of the acquisit...

This paper is concerned with the fuzzy support vector classification, in which both of the type of the output training point and the value of the final fuzzy classification function are triangle fuzzy number. First, the fuzzy classification problem is formulated as a fuzzy chance constrained programming. Then, we transform this programming into its equivalence quadratic programming. Final, a fu...

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative inflammatory disease which is most commonly diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). But, since the MRI device uses of a magnetic field, if there are metal objects in the patient's body, it can disrupt the health of the patient, the functioning of the MRI, and distortion in the images. Due to limitations of using MRI device, screening ...

Support vector machine (SVM) classifiers represent one of the most powerful and promising tools for solving classification problems. In the past decade SVMs have been shown to have excellent performance in the field of data mining. The standard SVM classifier treats all instances equally. However, in many applications we have different levels of confidence in different instances that belong to ...

In this work we study the behaviour of a Fuzzy Rule Based Classification System, and its relationship to a certain data complexity measures family. As Fuzzy Rule Based Classification System we have selected a recent proposal called Positive Definite Fuzzy Classifier, which is a Fuzzy System that uses Support Vector Machines for its training, obtaining accurate results and a low number of rules....

In this paper, we aim to improve the classification of human non-speech sounds produced in a meeting-room environment by using concepts and tools from the fuzzy theory. Starting with an SVM-based baseline system, firstly a reduction of the number of features with the fuzzy measure is shown. And, secondly, a noticeable improvement of the classification performance is reported by combining the ou...
