In this study, we introduce a identification methodology for FCM-based fuzzy model. The two underlying design mechanisms of such networks involve Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO). The proposed algorithm is based on FCM clustering method for efficient processing of data and the optimization of model was carried out using PSO. The premise part of fuzzy rules does not construct as any fixed membership functions such as triangular, gaussian, ellipsoidal because we build up the premise part of fuzzy rules using FCM. As a result, the proposed model can lead to the compact architecture of network. In this study, as the consequence part of fuzzy rules, we are able to use four types of polynomials such as simplified, linear, quadratic, modified quadratic. In addition, a Weighted Least Square Estimation to estimate the coefficients of polynomials, which are the consequent parts of fuzzy model, can decouple each fuzzy rule from the other fuzzy rules. Therefore, a local learning capability and an interpretability of the proposed fuzzy model are improved. Also, the parameters of the proposed fuzzy model such as a fuzzification coefficient of FCM clustering, the number of clusters of FCM clustering, and the polynomial type of the consequent part of fuzzy rules are adjusted using PSO. The proposed model is illustrated with the use of Automobile Miles per Gallon(MPG) and Boston housing called Machine Learning dataset. A comparative analysis reveals that the proposed FCM-based fuzzy model exhibits higher accuracy and superb predictive capability in comparison to some previous models available in the literature.

본 논문에서는 비선형 블라인드 채널등화기의 구현을 위하여 가우시안 가중치(gaussian weights)를 이용한 개선된 퍼지 클러스터(Modified Fuzzy C-Means with Gaussian Weights: MFCM_GW) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존 FCM 알고리즘의 유클리디언 거리(Euclidean distance) 값 대신 Bayesian Likelihood 목적함수(fitness function)와 가우시안 가중치가 적용된 멤버쉽 매트릭스(partition matrix)를 이용하여, 비선형 채널의 출력으로 수신된 데이터들로부터 최적의 채널 출력 상태 값(optimal channel output states)들을 직접 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 채널 출력 상태 값들로 비선형 채널의 이상적 채널 상태(desired channel states) 벡터들을 구성하고, 이를 Radial Basis Function(RBF) 등화기의 중심(center)으로 활용함으로써 송신된 데이터 심볼을 찾아낸다. 실험에서는 무작위 이진 신호에 가우시안 잡음이 추가된 데이터를 사용하여 기존의 Simplex Genetic Algorithm(GA), 하이브리드 형태의 GASA(GA merged with simulated annealing (SA)), 그리고 과거에 발표되었던 MFCM 등과 그 성능을 비교 분석하였으며, 가우시안 가중치가 적용된 MFCM_GW를 이용한 채널등화기가 상대적으로 정확도와 속도 면에서 우수함을 보였다.

This study introduces an information granular-based fuzzy radial basis function neural networks (FRBFNN) based on multiobjective optimization and weighted least square (WLS). An improved multiobjective space search algorithm (IMSSA) is proposed to optimize the FRBFNN. In the design of FRBFNN, the premise part of the rules is constructed with the aid of Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering while the consequent part of the fuzzy rules is developed by using four types of polynomials, namely constant, linear, quadratic, and modified quadratic. Information granulation realized with C-Means clustering helps determine the initial values of the apex parameters of the membership function of the fuzzy neural network. To enhance the flexibility of neural network, we use the WLS learning to estimate the coefficients of the polynomials. In comparison with ordinary least square commonly used in the design of fuzzy radial basis function neural networks, WLS could come with a different type of the local model in each rule when dealing with the FRBFNN. Since the performance of the FRBFNN model is directly affected by some parameters such as e.g., the fuzzification coefficient used in the FCM, the number of rules and the orders of the polynomials present in the consequent parts of the rules, we carry out both structural as well as parametric optimization of the network. The proposed IMSSA that aims at the simultaneous minimization of complexity and the maximization of accuracy is exploited here to optimize the parameters of the model. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed neural network leads to better performance in comparison with some existing neurofuzzy models encountered in the literature.

본 연구에서는 퍼지 RBFNNs과 증분형 주성분 분석법으로 실현된 숫자인식 시스템의 설계를 소개한다. 주성분 분석법은 차원축소를 위해 사용되는 알고리즘으로 학습데이터의 차원 수가 고차원이거나 데이터의 양이 많을 때 특징 추출을 위한 많은 계산 시간을 필요로 한다. 따라서 고차원 데이터의 효율적인 차원축소와 점진적인 학습을 위해 증분형 주성분분석법을 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 방사형 기저함수 신경회로망의 구조는 조건부, 결론부, 추론부의 3가지 기능적 모듈로서 구분이 가능하다. 조건부에서는 FCM 클러스터링 알고리즘의 도움으로 실현된 퍼지 클러스터링의 사용으로 입력 공간을 분할한다. 또한 가우시안 함수 대신 FCM(Fuzzy C-Means)클러스터링 알고리즘의 멤버쉽 값을 사용함으로써 입력 데이터의 특성을 좀 더 잘 반영할 수 있도록 개선하였으며, 결론부에서 연결가중치는 상수항에서 일차식과 이차식, 그리고 변형된 이차식과 같은 다항식의 형태로 확장하여 사용한다. 실험 결과는 공인 숫자 데이터인 MNIST 필기체 숫자 데이터를 사용하여 제안된 숫자 인식 시스템의 효율성을 다른 연구와의 비교를 통해 입증한다.

In this paper, we propose a modified fuzzy clustering algorithm which can overcome the center deviation due to the Euclidean distance commonly used in fuzzy clustering. Among fuzzy clustering methods, Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) is the most well-known clustering algorithm and has been widely applied to various problems successfully. In FCM, however, cluster centers tend leaning to high density clusters because the Euclidean distance measure forces high density cluster to make more contribution to clustering result. Proposed is an enhanced algorithm which modifies the objective function of FCM by adding a center-scattering term to make centers not to be close due to the cluster density. The proposed method converges more to real centers with small number of iterations compared to FCM. All the strengths can be verified with experimental results.

Most hyper-ellipsoidal clustering (HEC) approaches use the Mahalanobis distance as a distance metric. It has been proven that HEC, under this condition, cannot be realized since the cost function of partitional clustering is a constant. We demonstrate that HEC with a modified Gaussian kernel metric can be interpreted as a problem of finding condensed ellipsoidal clusters (with respect to the volumes and densities of the clusters) and propose a practical HEC algorithm that is able to efficiently handle clusters that are ellipsoidal in shape and that are of different size and density. We then try to refine the HEC algorithm by utilizing ellipsoids defined on the kernel feature space to deal with more complex-shaped clusters. The proposed methods lead to a significant improvement in the clustering results over K-means algorithm, fuzzy C-means algorithm, GMM-EM algorithm, and HEC algorithm based on minimum-volume ellipsoids using Mahalanobis distance.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has received widespread attention in the field of civil engineering because of its superior durability and corrosion resistance. This article presents the damage mechanisms of a novelty composite called carbon nanofiber modified flax fiber polymer (CNF-modified FFRP). The ability of acoustic emission (AE) to detect damage evolution for different configurations of specimens under uniaxial tension was examined, and some useful AE characteristic parameters were obtained. Test results shows that the mechanical properties of modified composites are associated with the CNF content and the evenness of CNF dispersed in the epoxy matrix. Various damage mechanisms was established by means of scanning electron microscope images. The fuzzy c-means clustering were proposed to classify AE events into groups representing different generation mechanisms. The classifiers are constructed using the traditional AE features -- six parameters from each burst. Amplitude and peak-frequency were selected as the best cluster-definition features from these AE parameters. After comprehensive comparison, a correlation between these AE events classes and the damage mechanisms observed was proposed.

Early detection of endometrial carcinoma in uterus is essential for effective treatment. Endometrial carcinoma is the worst kind of endometrium cancer among the others since it is considerably more likely to affect the additional parts of the body if not detected and treated early. Non-invasive medical computer vision, also known as medical image processing, is becoming increasingly essential in the clinical diagnosis of various diseases. Such techniques provide a tool for automatic image processing, allowing for an accurate and timely assessment of the lesion. One of the most difficult aspects of developing an effective automatic categorization system is the absence of huge datasets. Using image processing and deep learning, this article presented an artificial endometrium cancer diagnosis system. The processes in this study include gathering a dermoscopy images from the database, preprocessing, segmentation using hybrid Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and optimizing the weights using the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The characteristics of the damaged endometrium cells are retrieved using the feature extraction approach after the Magnetic Resonance pictures have been segmented. The collected characteristics are classified using a deep learning-based methodology called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bi-directional LSTM classifiers. After using the publicly accessible data set, suggested classifiers obtain an accuracy of 97% and segmentation accuracy of 93%.

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.
