The selection of centers and widths has a strong influence on the performance of radial basis function neural network classifier. In this paper, a novel approach of clustering based on Fuzzy Cmeans clustering is proposed, which is called cooperative clustering, and use it for selection of centers of radial basis function neural network. Experimental results show that the performance of classifi...

This paper presents an optimal load balancing algorithm based on both of the ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) modeling and the FIS (Fuzzy Inference System) for the local status of real servers. It also shows the substantial benefits such as the removal of loadscheduling overhead, QoS (Quality of Service) provisioning and providing highly available servers, provided by the suggested...

Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of FOS. Three ANFIS models were implemented including g...

This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for USD/JPY exchange rates forecasting. Previous work often used time series techniques and neural networks (NN). ANFIS can be used to better explain solutions to users than completely black-box models, such as NN. The proposed neurofuzzy rule based system applies some technical and fundamental indexes as input variables. In o...

Firefly algorithm is a swarm-based algorithm that can be used for solving optimization problems. In this paper, we focus on image clustering algorithm using the fuzzy set of possible solution is incorporated into the original firefly to improve the performance. The movement of the firefly still follows the original pattern but they are updated according fuzzy c-means algorithm. All method, k-me...

A conventional fuzzy cmeans (FCM) clustering algorithm did not use the spatial information of the data and is very much sensitive to noise. To improve the noise sensitivity of FCM, Spatial FCM (SFCM) incorporates the spatial information to improve the results. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduce hesitation factor in the fuzzy sets to enhance the performance of fuzzy sets and also added entropy ...

shear wave velocity (vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. although compressional wave velocity (vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. this study proposes a novel methodolo...

Kernelized Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique is an attempt to improve the performance of the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique. Recently this technique where a kernel-induced distance function is used as a similarity measure instead of a Euclidean distance which is used in the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique, has earned popularity among research community. Like th...
