In this paper, we introduce a new category of fuzzy inference system based on Type-2 fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm (T2FCM-based FIS). The premise part of the rules of the proposed model is realized with the aid of the scatter partition of input space generated by Type-2 FCM clustering algorithm. The number of the partition of input space is composed of the number of clusters and the individual partitioned spaces describe the fuzzy rules. Due to these characteristics, we can alleviate the problem of the curse of dimensionality. The consequence part of the rule is represented by polynomial functions with interval sets. To determine the structure and estimate the values of the parameters of Type-2 FCM-based FIS we consider the successive tuning method with generation-based evolution by means of real-coded genetic algorithms. The proposed model is evaluated with the use of numerical experimentation.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach towards multiple kernels interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(PFCM) based on interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy c-means(IT2PFCM) and possibilistic fuzzy c-means using multiple kernels( PFCM-MK). In case of noisy data or overlapping cluster prototypes, fuzzy C-means gives poor performance in comparison to possibilistic fuzzy C-means(PFCM). Moreover, to address the uncertainty associated with fuzzifier parameter m, interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(PFCM) is used. Most of the practical data available are complex and non-linearly separable. In such cases using Gaussian kernels proves helpful. Therefore, in order to overcome all these issues, we have integrated multiple kernels possibilistic fuzzy C-means(PFCM) into interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(IT2PFCM) and propose the idea of multiple kernels based interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(IT2PFCM-MK).

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.

A design method of rule-based fuzzy modeling is presented for the model identification of complex and nonlinear systems. The proposed rule-based fuzzy modeling implements system structure and parameter identification in the efficient form of ``IF....,THEN...', using the theories of optimization theory , linguistic fuzzy implication rules and fuzzy c-means clustering. Three kinds of method for fuzzy modeling presented in this paper include simplified inference (type I), linear inference (type 2), and modified linear inference (type 3). In order to identify premise structure and parameter of fuzzy implication rules, fuzzy c- means clustering and modified complex method are used respectively and the least sequare method is utilized for the identification of optimum consequence parameters. Time series data for gas furance and those for sewage treatment process are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed rule-based fuzzy modeling. Comparison shows that the proposed method can produce the fuzzy model with higher accuracy than previous other studies.

The Possibilistic C-means(PCM) was proposed to overcome some of the drawbacks associated with the Fuzzy C-means(FCM) such as improved performance for noise data. However, PCM possesses some drawbacks such as sensitivity in initial parameter values and to patterns that have relatively short distances between the prototypes. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose an interval type 2 fuzzy approach to PCM by considering uncertainty in the fuzzy parameter m in the PCM algorithm.

Type-2 fuzzy sets are preferred over type-1 sets as they are capable of addressing uncertainty more efficiently. The fuzzifier values play pivotal role in managing these uncertainties; still selecting appropriate value of fuzzifiers has been a tedious task. Generally, based on observation particular value of fuzzifier is chosen from a given range of values. In this paper we have tried to adaptively compute suitable fuzzifier values of interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy c-means (IT2 PFCM) for a given data. Information is extracted from individual data points using histogram approach and this information is further processed to give us the two fuzzifier values $m_1$, $m_2$. These obtained values are bounded within some upper and lower bounds based on interval type-2 fuzzy sets.

본 논문에서는 비선형 모델의 설계를 위해 Type-2 퍼지 논리 집합을 이용하여 불확실성 문제를 다룬다. 퍼지 논리 시스템의 멤버쉽 함수와 규칙의 구조는 불확실성이 존재하는 언어적인 정보 또는 수치적 데이터를 바탕으로 설계된다. 기존의 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템은 외부의 노이즈와 같은 불확실성을 효율적으로 취급할 수 없다. 그러나 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템은 불확실한 정보까지 멤버쉽 함수로 표현함으로서 불확실성을 효과적으로 다룰 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 규칙의 전 ${\cdot}$ 후반부가 Type-2 퍼지 집합으로 구성된 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계하고 불확실성의 변화에 대한 비선형 모델의 성능을 비교한다. 여기서 규칙 전반부 멤버쉽 함수의 정점 선택은 C-means 클러스터링 알고리즘을 이용하고, 규칙 후반부 퍼지 집합의 정점 결정에는 입자 군집 최적화(PSO : Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘을 사용한다. 마지막으로, 비선형 모델 평가에 대표적으로 이용되는 가스로 시계열 데이터를 제안된 모델에 적용하고, 입력 데이터에 인위적인 노이즈가 포함되었을 경우 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템이 기존의 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템보다 우수함을 보인다.

In this paper, we introduce a category of Multi-FNN (Fuzzy-Neural Networks) models, analyze the underlying architectures and propose a comprehensive identification framework. The proposed Multi-FNNs dwell on a concept of fuzzy rule-based FNNs based on HCM clustering and evolutionary fuzzy granulation, and exploit linear inference being treated as a generic inference mechanism. By this nature, this FNN model is geared toward capturing relationships between information granules known as fuzzy sets. The form of the information granules themselves (in particular their distribution and a type of membership function) becomes an important design feature of the FNN model contributing to its structural as well as parametric optimization. The identification environment uses clustering techniques (Hard C - Means, HCM) and exploits genetic optimization as a vehicle of global optimization. The global optimization is augmented by more refined gradient-based learning mechanisms such as standard back-propagation. The HCM algorithm, whose role is to carry out preprocessing of the process data for system modeling, is utilized to determine the structure of Multi-FNNs. The detailed parameters of the Multi-FNN (such as apexes of membership functions, learning rates and momentum coefficients) are adjusted using genetic algorithms. An aggregate performance index with a weighting factor is proposed in order to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization (predictive) abilities of the model. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, two numeric data sets are experimented with. One is the numerical data coming from a description of a certain nonlinear function and the other is NOx emission process data from a gas turbine power plant.

본 논문 에서는 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계하고, 불확실한 정보를 갖는 입력 데이터에 대하여 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템과 성능을 비교한다. Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템은 외부 잡음에 민감한 단점을 가지고 있는 반면, Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템은 불확실한 정보를 잘 표현 할 수 있다. 따라서 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 이용하여 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 2가지의 모델을 설계한다. 첫 번째 모델은 규칙의 전 후반부가 Type-1 퍼지 집합으로 구성된 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계 한다. 두 번째는 규칙 전 후반부에 Type-2 퍼지 집합으로 구성된 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템을 설계한다. 여기서 규칙 전반부의 입력 공간 분할 및 FOU(Footprint Of Uncertainty)형성에는 FCM(Fuzzy C_Means) clustering 방법을 사용하고, 입자 군집 최적화(Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘을 사용하여 최적의 파라미터를 설계한다. 본 논문 에서는 또한 입력 데이터에 인위적으로 가하는 노이즈에 따른 각각 모델의 성능을 비교한다. 마지막으로 비선형 모델 평가에 주로 사용되는 NOx 데이터를 제안된 모델에 적용하고, 실험을 통하여 노이즈가 첨가되고, 불확실한 정보를 다루기에 Type-1 퍼지 논리 시스템 보다 Type-2 퍼지 논리 시스템이 효율적이라는 것을 보인다.
