A fuzzy set based solution method for multiobjective optimal design problem of mechanical and structural systems using functional-link net

The principle of solving multiobjective optimization problems with fuzzy sets theory is studied. Membership function is the key to introduce the fuzzy sets theory to multiobjective optimization. However, it is difficult to determine membership functions in engineering applications. On the basis of rapid quadratic optimization in the learning of weights, simplification in hardware as well as in computational procedures of functional-link net, discrete membership functions are used as sample training data. When the network converges, the continuous membership functions implemented with the network. Membership functions based on functional-link net have been used in multiobjective optimization. An example is given to illustrate the method.     

Possibility-based fuzzy neural networks and their application toimage processing

This paper describes the foundations for a class of fuzzy neural networks. Such a network is a composite or two-stage network consisting of a fuzzy network stage and a neural network stage. It exhibits the ability to classify complex feature set vectors with a configuration that is simpler than that needed by a standard neural network, Unlike a standard neural network, this network is able to accept as input a vector of scalar values, or a vector (set) of possibility functions. The first stage of the network is fuzzy based. It has two parts: a parameter computing network (PCN), followed by a converting layer. In the PCN the weights of the nodes are possibility functions, and hence, the output of this network is a fuzzy set. The second part of this stage, which is a single layer network, then converts this fuzzy set into a scalar vector for input to the second stage. The second stage of the network is a standard backpropagation based neural network. In addition to establishing the theoretical foundations for such a network, this paper presents sample applications of the network for classification problems in satellite image processing and seismic lithology pattern recognition.     

Logical radial basis function networks a hybrid intelligent model for function approximation

The aim of this article is to introduce a new approach for fuzzy neural network models which can be used effectively in function approximation problems. The proposed model is introduced as an adaptive two-level fuzzy inference system. The architecture of the model is basically a two-layer network of new types of fuzzy-neurons which act as fuzzy IF–THEN rules. The model can be considered as a logical version of the Radial Basis Function networks (RBF). Genetic Algorithms have been adopted as the learning mechanism of the proposed model. Simulations show both highly nonlinear mapping and reasoning capabilities together with simpler structure and better performance when compared with classical neural networks.     

Prediction and identification using wavelet-based recurrent fuzzy neural networks

This paper presents a wavelet-based recurrent fuzzy neural network (WRFNN) for prediction and identification of nonlinear dynamic systems. The proposed WRFNN model combines the traditional Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy model and the wavelet neural networks (WNN). This paper adopts the nonorthogonal and compactly supported functions as wavelet neural network bases. Temporal relations embedded in the network are caused by adding some feedback connections representing the memory units into the second layer of the feedforward wavelet-based fuzzy neural networks (WFNN). An online learning algorithm, which consists of structure learning and parameter learning, is also presented. The structure learning depends on the degree measure to obtain the number of fuzzy rules and wavelet functions. Meanwhile, the parameter learning is based on the gradient descent method for adjusting the shape of the membership function and the connection weights of WNN. Finally, computer simulations have demonstrated that the proposed WRFNN model requires fewer adjustable parameters and obtains a smaller rms error than other methods.     

A Radial Basis Function network training algorithm using a non-symmetric partition of the input space - Application to a Model Predictive Control configuration

This work presents the non-symmetric fuzzy means algorithm which is a new methodology for training Radial Basis Function neural network models. The method is based on a non-symmetric fuzzy partition of the space of input variables which results to networks with smaller structures and better approximation capabilities compared to other state-of-the-art training procedures. The lower modeling error and the smaller size of the produced models become particularly important when they are used in online applications. This is demonstrated by integrating the model produced by the proposed algorithm in a Model Predictive Control configuration, resulting in better control performance and shorter computational times.     

Fuzzy neural networks for estimation and fuzzy controller design: simulation study for a pulp batch digester

A structural implementation of a fuzzy inference system through connectionist network based on MLP with logical neurons connected through binary and numerical weights is considered. The resulting fuzzy neural network is trained using classical backpropagation to learn the rules of inference of a fuzzy system, by adjustment of the numerical weights. For controller design, training is carried out off line in a closed loop simulation. Rules for the fuzzy logic controller are extracted from the network by interpreting the consequence weights as measure of confidence of the underlying rule. The framework is used in a simulation study for estimation and control of a pulp batch digester. The controlled variable, the Kappa number, a measure of lignin content in the pulp, which is not measurable is estimated through temperature and liquor concentration using the fuzzy neural network. On the other hand a fuzzy neural network is trained to control the Kappa number and rules are extracted from the trained network to construct a fuzzy logic controller.     

Numerical Solution of Linear Regression Based on Z-Numbers by Improved Neural Network

In this article, the researcher at first focuses on introducing a linear regression based on the Z-number. In this regression, observations are real, but the coefficients and results of observations are unknown and in the form of Z-rating. Therefore, to estimate this type of regression, we have three distinct ways depending on different conditions dominating the problem. The three methods are a combination of artificial neural networks and fuzzy generalized improvements of the technique. Moreover the method of calculating the weights of the Z-number neural network has been mentioned and the stability of neural network weights is considered. In some examples, the answer is estimated compared with the original answer.     

Artificial neural network approach for solving fuzzy differential equations

The current research attempts to offer a novel method for solving fuzzy differential equations with initial conditions based on the use of feed-forward neural networks. First, the fuzzy differential equation is replaced by a system of ordinary differential equations. A trial solution of this system is written as a sum of two parts. The first part satisfies the initial condition and contains no adjustable parameters. The second part involves a feed-forward neural network containing adjustable parameters (the weights). Hence by construction, the initial condition is satisfied and the network is trained to satisfy the differential equations. This method, in comparison with existing numerical methods, shows that the use of neural networks provides solutions with good generalization and high accuracy. The proposed method is illustrated by several examples.     

Research and Design of a Fuzzy Neural Expert System

We have developed a fuzzy neural expert system that has the precision and learning ability of a neural network.Knowledge is acquired from domain experts as fuzzy rules and membership functions.Then,they are converted into a neural network which implements fuzzy inference without rule matching.The neural network is applied to problem-solving and learns from the data obtained during operation to enhance the accuracy.The learning ability of the neural network makes it easy to modify the membership functions defined by domain experts.Also,by modifying the weights of neural networks adaptively,the problem of belief propagation in conventional expert systems can be solved easily.Converting the neural network back into fuzzy rules and membership functions helps explain the inner representation and operation of the neural network.     

Topology constraint free fuzzy gated neural networks for patternrecognition

A novel topology constraint free neural network architecture using a generalized fuzzy gated neuron model is presented for a pattern recognition task. The main feature is that the network does not require weight adaptation at its input and the weights are initialized directly from the training pattern set. The elimination of the need for iterative weight adaptation schemes facilitates quick network set up times which make the fuzzy gated neural networks very attractive. The performance of the proposed network is found to be functionally equivalent to spatio-temporal feature maps under a mild technical condition. The classification performance of the fuzzy gated neural network is demonstrated on a 12-class synthetic three dimensional (3-D) object data set, real-world eight-class texture data set, and real-world 12 class 3-D object data set. The performance results are compared with the classification accuracies obtained from a spatio-temporal feature map, an adaptive subspace self-organizing map, multilayer feedforward neural networks, radial basis function neural networks, and linear discriminant analysis. Despite the network's ability to accurately classify seen data and adequately generalize validation data, its performance is found to be sensitive to noise perturbations due to fine fragmentation of the feature space. This paper also provides partial solutions to the above robustness issue by proposing certain improvements to various modules of the proposed fuzzy gated neural network.

Business performance forecasting of convenience store based on enhanced fuzzy neural network

Reliable business performance forecasting of convenience store (CVS) can not only help in making the correct local selection decision but also in decreasing the store cost and thereby enlarging the profit significantly. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to design an enhanced fuzzy neural network (EFNN)-based predictor to forecast the business performance of CVS. Without considering relevant domain knowledge, traditional fuzzy neural networks suffer from the problem of low accuracy of forecasting unseen examples. Moreover, traditional fuzzy neural networks have to turn weights with a kind of time-consuming gradient steepest descent training algorithm. Considering the relationship between the evaluation factors globally, we devise the EFNN which assigns connection weights based on the expert domain knowledge without painstakingly and repeatedly turning them. Furthermore, by generating and refining the activation function based on genetic algorithm, our EFNN can provide comprehensive and accurate activation functions and fit a wider range of nonlinear models. By experimenting our methods with several benchmark methods, the proposed methods are found to have an optimal accuracy in forecasting the business performance of CVS with a permanent good performance.     

Predicting Network Security Situation Based on a Combination Model of Multiple Neural Networks

Due to rapidly increasing complex attacks, networks become more and more insecure. How to accurately predict the future security situation of networks is thus an important research issue. Forecasting security situation can improve the awareness of network states and provide decision support to threat analysis and network planning. This paper provides a combination model of neural networks to predict the security situation of computer networks. Our contribution is in two aspects. On the one hand, we select several single neural network models including Backward Propagation (BP) network, Elman network, and Radial Basis Function (RBF) network to construct the combination model. On the other hand, we use the entropy method to determine the weights of each single model in the combination model. Experimental results show that the proposed combination model can predict the security situation of networks more e?ectively than any single neural network.
