The proposed method develops a fuzzy rule-based classifier that was tested using features for islanding detection in distributed generation. In the developed technique, the initial classification boundaries are found out by using the decision tree (DT). From the DT classification boundaries, the fuzzy membership functions (MFs) are developed and the corresponding rule base is formulated for isl...

The synthesis of genetics-based machine learning and fuzzy logic is beginning to show promise as a potent tool in solving complex control problems in multi-variate non-linear systems. In this paper an overview of current research applying the genetic algorithm to fuzzy rule based control is presented. A novel approach to genetics-based machine learning of fuzzy controllers, called a Pittsburgh ...

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 ...

Fuzzy decision tree induction algorithms require the fuzzy quantization of the input variables. This paper demonstrates that supervised fuzzy clustering combined with similarity-based rule-simplification algorithms is an effective tool to obtain the fuzzy quantization of the input variables, so the synergistic combination of supervised fuzzy clustering and fuzzy decision tree induction can be e...

in this paper a novel fuzzy scheme for medical x-ray image classification is presented. in this method, any image is partitioned in to 25 overlapping subimages and then shape-texture features are extracted from shape and directional information extracted from any subimage. in the classification stage, we apply a fuzzy membership to any subimage with respect to euclidean distance between feature...

In this paper we extend the problem of classification using Fuzzy Association Rule Mining and propose the concept of Fuzzy Weighted Associative Classifier (FWAC). Classification based on Association rules is considered to be effective and advantageous in many cases. Associative classifiers are especially fit to applications where the model may assist the domain experts in their decisions. Weigh...

A novel approach to nonlinear classification is presented, in the training phase of the classifier, the training data is first clustered in an unsupervised way by fuzzy c-means or a similar algorithm. The class labels are not used in this step. Then, a fuzzy relation between the clusters and the class identifiers is computed. This approach allows the number of prototypes to be independent of th...

This paper presents an efficient fuzzy classifier with the ability of feature selection based on a fuzzy entropy measure. Fuzzy entropy is employed to evaluate the information of pattern distribution in the pattern space. With this information, we can partition the pattern space into nonoverlapping decision regions for pattern classification. Since the decision regions do not overlap, both the ...

Problem statement: Computer networks are expanding at very fast rate and the number of network users is increasing day by day, for full utilization of networks it need to be secured against many threats including malware, which is harmful software with the capability to damage data and systems. Fuzzy rule based classification systems considered as an active research area in recent years, due to...

A pattern recognition system used for industrial inspection has to be highly reliable and fast. The reliability is essential for reducing the cost caused by incorrect decisions, while speed is necessary for real–time operation. In this paper we address the problem of inspecting optical media like Compact Disks and Digital Versatile Disks. Here, defective disks have to be identified during produ...
