In this study, we propose the design of optimized pRBFNNs-based night vision face recognition system using PCA algorithm. It is difficalt to obtain images using CCD camera due to low brightness under surround condition without lighting. The quality of the images distorted by low illuminance is improved by using night vision camera and histogram equalization. Ada-Boost algorithm also is used for the detection of face image between face and non-face image area. The dimension of the obtained image data is reduced to low dimension using PCA method. Also we introduce the pRBFNNs as recognition module. The proposed pRBFNNs consists of three functional modules such as the condition part, the conclusion part, and the inference part. In the condition part of fuzzy rules, input space is partitioned by using Fuzzy C-Means clustering. In the conclusion part of rules, the connection weights of pRBFNNs is represented as three kinds of polynomials such as linear, quadratic, and modified quadratic. The essential design parameters of the networks are optimized by means of Differential Evolution.

In this study, we propose a design of digits recognition system based on RBFNNs through a comparative study of pre-processing algorithms in order to recognize digits in handwritten. Histogram of Oriented Gradient(HOG) is used to get the features of digits in the proposed digits recognition system. In the pre-processing part, a dimensional reduction is executed by using Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and (2D)2PCA which are widely adopted methods in order to minimize a loss of the information during the reduction process of feature space. Also, The architecture of radial basis function neural networks consists of three functional modules such as condition, conclusion, and inference part. In the condition part, the input space is partitioned with the use of fuzzy clustering realized by means of the Fuzzy C-Means algorithm. Also, it is used instead of gaussian function to consider the characteristic of input data. In the conclusion part, the connection weights are used as the extended type of polynomial expression such as constant, linear, quadratic and modified quadratic. By using MNIST handwritten digit benchmarking database, experimental results show the effectiveness and efficiency of proposed digit recognition system when compared with other studies.

In this paper, we suggest method that change odors to digital data. For this, we selected emotional adjective of odors as olfactory receptor This emotional adjective(expressional receptor) is about 40. Each odors are expressed by adjective equivalent to oneself. Expressed odors as emotional receptor is encoded as proposed method for transmission, and after transmission, It should be decoded for expression again. The applied decoding method is fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm(FCMA). But, because odor data is expressed to 40 dimensions, FCMA uses a lot of computing times and memories. To solve this problem, after we reduce dimension through principal component analysis(PCA), we use FCMA algorithm.

An integrated method is proposed for structural nonlinear damage detection based on time series analysis and the higher statistical moments of structural responses in this study. It combines the time series analysis, the higher statistical moments of AR model residual errors and the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering techniques. A few comprehensive damage indexes are developed in the arithmetic and geometric mean of the higher statistical moments, and are classified by using the FCM clustering method to achieve nonlinear damage detection. A series of the measured response data, downloaded from the web site of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) USA, from a three-storey building structure considering the environmental variety as well as different nonlinear damage cases, are analyzed and used to assess the performance of the new nonlinear damage detection method. The effectiveness and robustness of the new proposed method are finally analyzed and concluded.

Grouping ports in certain region by their characteristics could be used as the principal informations to establish national policy for port development or investment and also to analyze the competitiveness between ports. Currently Korean ports are divided into two groups such as the local port and the designated port containing foreign trade port and coastal port under the Korean port law. These divisions seem to be used for port administration as the matter of convenience but some qualitative grouping is needed for research of port problems. In this paper, 28 major Korean ports were clustered by the similar characteristics using Fuzzy C-Means and found to be classified 8 qualitative groups.

In this paper, we design the Multi-FNN(Fuzzy-Neural Networks) using HCM Method. The proposed Multi-FNN uses simplified inference as fuzzy inference method and Error Back Propagation Algorithm as learning rules. Also, We use HCM(Hard C-Means) method of clustering technique for improvement of output performance from pre-processing of input data. The parameters such as apexes of membership function, learning rates and momentum coefficients are adjusted using genetic algorithms. We use the training and testing data set to obtain a balance between the approximation and the generalization of our model. Several numerical examples are used to evaluate the performance of the our model. From the results, we can obtain higher accuracy and feasibility than any other works presented previously.

Expert systems for health diagnosis are only for medical experts who have deep knowledge in the field but we need a self-checking pre-diagnosis system for preventive public health monitoring. Korea Traditional Medicine is popular in use among Korean public but there exist few available health information systems on the internet. A computerized self-checking diagnosis system is proposed to reduce the social cost by monitoring health status with simple symptom checking procedures especially for Korea Traditional Medicine users. Based on the national reports for disease/symptoms of Korea Traditional Medicine, we build a reliable database and devise an intelligent inference engine using fuzzy c-means clustering. The implemented system gives five most probable diseases a user might have with respect to symptoms given by the user. Inference results are verified by Korea Traditional Medicine doctors as sufficiently accurate and easy to use.

본 논문에서는 FCM 기반 퍼지 뉴럴네트워크 구조를 제안하고 진화 알고리즘을 이용한 FCM 기반 퍼지 뉴럴네트워크의 구조와 파라미터의 최적화 방법을 제시한다. 클러스터링 알고리즘은 퍼지 뉴럴 네트워크에서 멤버쉽함수의 중심점과 반경 등을 결정하는 학습에 일반적으로 사용된다. 제안된 FCM 기반 뉴럴 네트워크에서 멤버쉽함수는 가우시안, 삼각형 타입등의 정해진 형태를 사용하지 않고 데이터들 사이의 거리에 관계된 계산을 수행하는 FCM에 의해 결정된다. 후반부는 상수형, 선형, 2차식 등의 다양한 다항식 구조로 표현될 수 있으며 다항식의 계수는 LSE를 이용하여 결정한다. FCM 기반 퍼지 뉴럴 네트워크는 퍼지규칙의 수, 입력변수의 선택, 후반부 다항식의 차수, FCM의 퍼지화 계수의 결정은 성능에 많은 차이가 있으며 이러한 구조와 파라미터의 최적화가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 FCM 기반 퍼지뉴럴네트워크의 구조에 관련된 입력변수의 수, 퍼지규칙의 수 그리고 후반부 다항식의 차수와 파라미터에 관련된 퍼지화 계수를 최적화 한다. 제안된 방법은 비선형 시스템의 모델링에 적용하여 성능을 분석하였다.

암의 치료법은 같은 종류의 암이라 해도 그 하부 클래스에 따라 매우 다르기 때문에 암의 클래스를 예측하는 것은 그 정확한 치료를 위하여 매우 중요하다. 유전자 발현 데이터를 이용한 암의 분류에 있어 기존의 연구들은 각 데이터를 하나의 클러스터에 소속시키는 하드 분할(hard partition)에 의한 분할 방식을 사용하는 하드 클러스터링을 사용하였다. 하지만 일반적으로 유전자 발현 암 데이터와 같은 실세계의 데이터는 쉽게 나뉘어지기 힘들거나 클러스터 간의 경계가 분명하지 않기 때문에 하드 클러스터링 기법은 주어진 데이터의 성질을 손실시킬 수 있는데 반해, 퍼지 클러스터링 기법은 각 데이터가 소속 정도에 따라 여러 개의 클러스터에 속할 수 있도록 분할하기 때문에 이러한 손실을 최소화할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 퍼지 클러스터링의 대표적인 방법인 fuzzy c-means 클러스터링을 적용하여 암의 클래스를 예측하고, 다양한 하드 클러스터링 방법과 비교함으로써 퍼지 클러스터링의 성능을 검증하였다.

This paper suggests an optimal identification method for complex and nonlinear system modeling that is based on Fuzzy-Neural Networks(FNN). The proposed Hybrid Identification Algorithm is based on Yamakawa's FNN and uses the simplified inference as fuzzy inference method and Error Back Propagation Algorithm as learning rule. In this paper, the FNN modeling implements parameter identification using HCM algorithm and hybrid structure combined with two types of optimization theories for nonlinear systems. We use a HCM(Hard C-Means) clustering algorithm to find initial apexes of membership function. The parameters such as apexes of membership functions, learning rates, and momentum coefficients are adjusted using hybrid algorithm. The proposed hybrid identification algorithm is carried out using both a genetic algorithm and the improved complex method. Also, an aggregated objective function(performance index) with weighting factor is introduced to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization abilities of the model. According to the selection and adjustment of a weighting factor of an aggregate objective function which depends on the number of data and a certain degree of nonlinearity(distribution of I/O data), we show that it is available and effective to design an optimal FNN model structure with mutual balance and dependency between approximation and generalization abilities. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we use the time series data for gas furnace, the data of sewage treatment process and traffic route choice process.
