We describe word boundary detection that extracts the boundary between speech and non-speech. The proposed method uses two features. One is the normalized root mean square of speech signal, which is insensitive to white noises and represents temporal information. The other is the normalized met-frequency band energy of voice signal, which is frequency information of the signal. Our method detects word boundaries using a recurrent fuzzy associative memory(RFAM) that extends FAM by adding recurrent nodes. Hebbian learning method is employed to establish the degree of association between an input and output. An error back-propagation algorithm is used for teaming the weights between the consequent layer and the recurrent layer. To confirm the effectiveness, we applied the suggested system to voice data obtained from KAIST.

In this paper, we introduce the fuzzy neural network based on the individual input space to design the pattern recognizer. The proposed networks configure the network by individually dividing each input space. The premise part of the networks is independently composed of the fuzzy partition of individual input spaces and the consequence part of the networks is represented by polynomial functions. The learning of fuzzy neural networks is realized by adjusting connection weights of the neurons in the consequent part of the fuzzy rules and it follows a back-propagation algorithm. In addition, in order to optimize the parameters of the proposed network, we use real-coded genetic algorithms. Finally, we design the optimized pattern recognizer using the experimental data for pattern recognition.

This paper deal with uncertainty problem by using Type-2 fuzzy logic set for nonlinear system modeling. We design Type-2 fuzzy logic system in which the antecedent and the consequent part of rules are given as Type-2 fuzzy set and also analyze the performance of the ensuing nonlinear model with uncertainty. Here, the apexes of the antecedent membership functions of rules are decided by C-means clustering algorithm and the apexes of the consequent membership functions of rules are learned by using back-propagation based on gradient decent method. Also, the parameters related to the fuzzy model are optimized by means of particle swarm optimization. The proposed model is demonstrated with the aid of two representative numerical examples, such as mathematical synthetic data set and Mackey-Glass time series data set and also we discuss the approximation as well as generalization abilities for the model.

This paper is proposed a new method to deal with the optimized auto-tuning for the Pill controller which is used to the process-control in various fields. First of all, in this method, 1st order delay system with dead time which is modelled from the unit step response of the system is Pade-approximated, then initial values are determined by the Ziegler-Nichols method. So we can find the parameters of Pill controller so as to minimize the fuzzy criterion function which includes the maximum overshoot, damping ratio, rising time and settling time. Finally, after studying the parameters of Pill controller by Backpropagation of Neural-Network, when we give new K, L, T values to Neural-Network, the optimized parameter of Pill controller is found by Neural-Network Program.rogram.

In this paper, we propose accurate classification method of an EEG signals during a mental tasks. In the experimental task, subjects achieved through the process of responding to visual stimulus, understanding the given problem, controlling hand motions, and select a key. To recognize the subjects' selection time, we analyzed with 4 types feature from the filtered brain waves at frequency bands of $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\theta$, $\gamma$ waves. From the analysed features, we construct specific rules for each subject meta rules including common factors in all subjects. In this system, the architecture of the neural network is a three layered feedforward networks with one hidden layer which implements the error back propagation learning algorithm. Applying the algorithms to 4 subjects show 87% classification success rates. In this paper, the proposed detection method can be a basic technology for brain-computer-interface by combining with discrimination methods.

Knowledge acquisition is one of the most difficult problems in designing fuzzy systems. As application domains of fuzzy systems become larger and more complex, it is more difficult to find the relations among the system's input- outpiit variables. Moreover, it takes a lot of efforts to formulate expert's knowledge about complex systems' control actions by linguistic variables. Another difficulty is to define and adjust membership functions properly. Soin conventional fuzzy systems, the membership functions should be adjusted to improve the system performance. This is time-consuming process. In this paper, we suggest a new approach to design a fuzzy system. We design a fuzzy system using two neural networks, Kohonen neural network and backpropagation neural network, which generate fuzzy rules automatically and construct inference network. Since fuzzy inference is performed based on fuzzy relation in this approach, we don't need the membership functions of each variable. Therefore it is unnecessary to define and adjust membership functions and we can get fuzzy rules automatically. The design process of fuzzy system becomes simple. The proposed approach is applied to a simulated automatic car speed control system. We can be sure that this approach not only makes the design process of fuzzy systems simple but also produces appropriate inference results.

In the fuzzy control for the multi-variable system, it is difficult to obtain the fuzzy rule. Therefore, the parallel structure of the independent single input-single output fuzzy controller using a pairing between the input and output variable is applied to the multi-variable system. However, among the input/output variables which arc not paired the interactive effects should be taken into account. these mutual coupling of variables affect the control performance. Therefore, for the control system with a strong coupling property, the control performance is sometimes lowered. In this paper, the effect of mutual coupling of variables is considered by the introduction of a neuro-fuzzy controller using relative gain matrix. This proposed neuro-fuzzy controller automatically adjusts the mutual coupling weight between variables using a neural network which is realized by back-propagation algorithm. The good performance of the proposed nero-fuzzy controller is verified through computer simulations on 200MW boiler systems.

It is desirable if users surfing on the Internet could find Web pages related to their interests as closely as possible. Toward this ends, this paper presents a topic specific Web crawler computing the degree of relevance. collecting a cluster of pages given a specific topic, and refining the preliminary set of related web pages using term frequency/document frequency, entropy, and compiled rules. In the experiments, we tested our topic specific crawler in terms of the accuracy of its classification, crawling efficiency, and crawling consistency. First, the classification accuracy using the set of rules compiled by CN2 was the best, among those of C4.5 and back propagation learning algorithms. Second, we measured the classification efficiency to determine the best threshold value affecting the degree of relevance. In the third experiment, the consistency of our topic specific crawler was measured in terms of the number of the resulting URLs overlapped with different starting URLs. The experimental results imply that our topic specific crawler was fairly consistent, regardless of the starting URLs randomly chosen.
