realizing the difficulties involved in direct measurement of soil properties, in recent years, alternative methods have been employed. in the present research, soil texture, organic carbon, saturation percentage and lime as readily measurable parameters, wilting point, field capacity, cation exchange capacity as well as bulk density, as predicted variables were evaluated. the data set was then ...

Aneural-learning fuzzy technique is proposed for T–S fuzzy-model identification ofmodel-free physical systems. Further, an algorithm with a defined modelling index is proposed to integrate and to guarantee that the proposed neural-based optimal fuzzy controller can stabilize physical systems; the modelling index is defined to denote the modelling-error evolution, and to ensure that the training...

Fuzzy logic, neural network, fuzzy-neural networks play an important role in the linguistic modeling of intelligent control and decision making in complex systems. The Fuzzy-Neural Network (FNN) learning represents one of the most effective algorithms to build such linguistic models. This paper proposes an Artificial Immune Algorithm (AIA) based optimal learning fuzzy-neural network (IM-FNN). T...

In this paper we present NEFCLASS, a neuro{fuzzy system for the classiication of data. This approach is based on our generic model of a fuzzy perceptron which can be used to derive fuzzy neural networks or neural fuzzy systems for spe-ciic domains. The presented model derives fuzzy rules from data to classify patterns into a number of (crisp) classes. NEFCLASS uses a supervised learning algorit...

This paper presents a fuzzy-tuned neural network, which is trained by an improved genetic algorithm (GA). The fuzzy-tuned neural network consists of a neural-fuzzy network and a modified neural network. In the modified neural network, a neuron model with two activation functions is used so that the degree of freedom of the network function can be increased. The neural-fuzzy network governs some...

This paper proposes a novel fuzzy neural network model based on fuzzy clustering method. The model can accept continuous and discrete inputs together; the discrete input to the model is divided into several clusters by using fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm (FCM). A fuzzy clustering neuron (FC-neuron) is designed to calculate a membership degree value belonging to one cluster for each discrete...

this paper intends to offer a new iterative method based on arti cial neural networks for finding solution of a fuzzy equations system. our proposed fuzzi ed neural network is a ve-layer feedback neural network that corresponding connection weights to output layer are fuzzy numbers. this architecture of arti cial neural networks, can get a real input vector and calculates its corresponding fu...

The dynamics of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are highly nonlinear and time varying and the hydrodynamic coefficients of vehicles are difficult to estimate accurately because of the variations of these coefficients with different navigation conditions and external disturbances. This study presents the on-line system identification of AUV dynamics to obtain the coupled nonlinear dyna...

Development of a neural-fuzzy model for an operational hydrocyclone is reported in this paper. The model integrates the benefits of the Artijkial Neural Network (ANN) and the fuzzy-logic techniques. It preserves the generalisation capability of an ANN while expressing the final model in fuzzy rules. These rules can be modiJied and examined by the user. This will in turn control the interpretati...

This paper proposes a fuzzy inference based neural network for the forecasting of short term loads. The forecasting model is the integration of fuzzy inference engine and the neural network, known as Fuzzy Inference Neural Network (FINN). A FINN initially creates a rule base from existing historical load data. The parameters of the rule base are then tuned through a training process, so that th...
