In this paper, we introduce an design of multi-output fuzzy neural networks based on Interval Type-2 fuzzy set. The proposed Interval Type-2 fuzzy set-based fuzzy neural networks with multi-output (IT2FS-based FNNm) comprise the network structure generated by dividing the input space individually. The premise part of the fuzzy rules of the network reflects the individuality of the division space for the entire input space and the consequent part of the fuzzy rules expresses three types of polynomial functions with interval sets such as constant, linear, and modified quadratic inference for pattern recognition. The learning of fuzzy neural networks is realized by adjusting connections 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 network, the parameters of the network such as apexes of membership functions, uncertainty factor, learning rate and momentum coefficient were automatically optimized by using real-coded genetic algorithm. The proposed model is evaluated with the use of numerical experimentation.

This paper deals with a new adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller and its application to an inverted pendulum. We propose new method of adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control scheme that the fuzzy logic system is used to approximate the unknown system functions in designing the SMC of uncertain nonlinear systems. The controller's construction and its analysis involve sliding modes. The proposed controller consists of two components. Sliding mode component is employed to eliminate the effects of disturbances, while a fuzzy model component equipped with an adaptation mechanism reduces modeling uncertainties by approximating model uncertainties. To demonstrate its performance, the proposed control algorithm is applied to an inverted pendulum. The results show that both alleviation of chattering and performance are achieved

This paper describes how to represent varations of feature parameters to improve recognition of continuous speech. For speech recognition, feature parameters, which are formant frequencies, pitches, logarithmic energies and zero crossing retes are used in general. But, their values and variations depend on speakers, for example disparities between man and woman, and on their age. It is difficult to decide a priority the value of the variation width. Hence, we try to represent this variation by introducing fuzziness and recognize a continuous speech by fuzzy inference using fuzzy production rules.

In attempting to respond to boolean retrieval system's limitations, this paper presents the design of a retrieval system using fuzzy logic. The fuzzy retrieval system introduces the weights of terms in the documents and in the query and makes use of them to determine how much relevant a document is to the given query. After comparing and analyzing the previous researches, an effective model of the fuzzy retrieval system is suggested and the performance of the system is evaluated through actual examples.

For high-speed fuzzy control systems, an important problem is the improvement of speed for the fuzzy inference, particularly in the consequent part and the defuzzification stage. This paper introduces an algorithm to map real values of the fuzzy membership functions in the consequent part onto an integer grid, as well as a method of eliminating the unnecessary operations of the zero items in the defuzzification stage, allowing a center of gravity method to be implemented with only integer additions and one integer division. A VHDL implementation of the system is presented. The proposed system shows approximately an order of magnitude increase in speed as compared with conventional methods while introducing only a minimal error and can be used in many fuzzy controller applications.

This paper describes a fuzzy-based system for analyzing the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of three-dimensional (3D) cracks. 3D finite element method(FEM) was used to obtain the SIF for subsurface cracks and surface cracks existing in inhomogeneous materials. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy theory. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The singular elements such that the mid-point nodes near crack front are shifted at the quarter-points, and these are automatically placed along the 3D crack front. The complete FE model is generated, and a stress analysis is performed. The SIFs are calculated using the displacement extrapolation method. The results were compared with those surface cracks in homogeneous materials. Also, this system is applied to analyze cladding effect of surface cracks in inhomogeneous materials.

Ship's collision avoidance is a skill that masters of merchant marine vessels have acquired through years of experience and that makes them feel at ease to guide their ship out from danger quickly compared to inexperienced officers. Case based reasoning (CBR) uses the same technique in solving tasks that needs reference from variety of situations. CBR can render decision-making easier by retrieving past solutions from situations that are similar to the one at hand and make necessary adjustments in order to adapt them. In this paper, we propose to utilize the advantages of CBR in a support system for ship's collision avoidance while using fuzzy algorithm for its retrieval of similar navigational situations, stored in the casebase, thus avoiding the cumbersome tasks of creating a new solution each time a new situation is encountered. There will be two levels within the Fuzzy-CBR. The first level will identify the dangerous ships and infer the new case. The second level will retrieve cases from casebase and adapt the solution to solve for the output. While CBR's accuracy depends on the efficient retrieval of possible solutions to be adapted from stored cases, fuzzy algorithm will improve the effectiveness of solving the similarity to a new case at hand.

영상처리 기술은 인간의 시각에 기반을 둔 영상정보와 관련된 분야에서 중요한 기반 기술로써 현재 여러 분야에서 연구가 활발하게 진행 중이다. 여러 응용 분야에서 사용되는 영상처리의 세부 기술범위는 영상 변환, 영상 개선, 영상 복원, 영상 압축등과 같이 다양하며, 이런 영상처리 기술의 중요한 연구 목표 중의 하나는 정확한 정보 추출을 위한 영상정보의 개선에 있다. 영상정보의 개선은 영상의 해석과 인식을 위한 기본적인 과제이며, 영상에서 나타날 수 있는 잡음을 제거하는 영상처리 기술이 영상정보 개선의 한 분야라고 할 수 있다. 영상정보 개선을 위한 기존의 필터링 알고리즘은 잡음제거율이 높은 만큼 경계선의 보존이 어렵다는 단점이 있으며, 이를 보완하기 위해 다른 영상처리 알고리즘을 함께 응용하여 처리함으로써 처리시간이 증가되고 원 영상의 중요한 정보를 훼손할 가능성이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 필터링 알고리즘의 문제점을 개선하는 동시에 잡음 제거율을 높일 수 있는 Fuzzy Mask Filter 알고리즘을 제안한다. Fuzzy Mask Filter 알고리즘은 마스크에서 얻은 정보를 Fuzzy Logic에 적용하여 임계값을 구하며, 구해진 임계값을 기준으로 출력영상의 화소값을 결정하는 알고리즘이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘의 효율성을 검증하기 위해 Impulse 잡음과 Salt pepper 잡음을 임의로 생성하여 기존의 알고리즘과 비교한 결과, 제안된 방법이 잡음 영상에 존재하는 픽셀 정보를 훼손하지 않고 잡음을 효과적으로 제거한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

PQ(Priority Queue) and WRR(Weighted Round Robin) are the most famous schedulers, however, these schedulers have both points of advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can be adopted in my kind of scheduling type with making up for weak points of PQ and WRR. The proposed algorithm includes a fuzzy theory in the scheduler to assign priorities dynamically in the DiffServ network. This algorithm produces the control discipline by the fuzzy theory to assign priorities of the Queue effectively with checking the Queue status of each class dynamically under the discipline.
