This paper gives some known theoretical results about fuzzy rule-based classifiers and offers a few new ones. The ability of Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy classifiers to match exactly and to approximate classification boundaries is discussed. The lemma by Klawonn and Klement about the exact match of a classification boundary in R (2) is extended from monotonous to arbitrary functions. Equivale...

text classification is an important research field in information retrieval and text mining. the main task in text classification is to assign text documents in predefined categories based on documents’ contents and labeled-training samples. since word detection is a difficult and time consuming task in persian language, bayesian text classifier is an appropriate approach to deal with different...

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

The classical fuzzy classifier consists of rules each one describing one of the classes. In this paper a new fuzzy model structure is proposed where each rule can represent more than one classes with different probabilities. The obtained classifier can be considered as an extension of the quadratic Bayes classifier that utilizes mixture of models for estimating the class conditional densities. ...

In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...

In multi-objective evolutionary fuzzy systems, the process of tuning the membership functions plays an important role towards optimizing the systems accuracy. Although, the shape and position of the membership functions in the partition should not change too much with relation to the original partition, so that it does not lose its integrity. This paper presents and discusses multi-objective ev...

With the increasing availability of Web-enabled mobile devices, we are facing the problem to effectively adapt Web content for those devices. For adaptation, Web page structures require rearrangement, i.e., transcoding, to better fit on small displays when layout-specific HTML structures like tables and frames are used. In this article, we present a Fuzzy rule-based language, i.e., Fuzzy-RDL/TT...

a novel evolving fuzzy rule-based classifier, namely parsimonious classifier (pClass), is proposed in this paper. pClass can set off its learning process either from scratch with an empty rule base or from an initially trained fuzzy model. Importantly, pClass not only adopts the open structure concept, where an automatic knowledge building process can be cultivated during the training process, ...
