In this study, a weighted fuzzy min-max (WFMM) neural network model for pattern classification is proposed. The model has a modified structure of FMM neural network in which the weight concept is added to represent the frequency factor of feature values in a learning data set. First we present in this paper a new activation function of the network which is defined as a hyperbox membership function. Then we introduce a new learning algorithm for the model that consists of three kinds of processes: hyperbox creation/expansion, hyperbox overlap test, and hyperbox contraction. A weight adaptation rule considering the frequency factors is defined for the learning process. Finally we describe a feature analysis technique using the proposed model. Four kinds of relevance factors among feature values, feature types, hyperboxes and patterns classes are proposed to analyze relative importance of each feature in a given problem. Two types of practical applications, Fisher's Iris data and Cleveland medical data, have been used for the experiments. Through the experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed method is discussed.

This paper adopts a new approach in which nonlinear vibrations can be controlled using fuzzy controllers by optimal grey evolutionary algorithm. If the fuzzy controller cannot stabilize the systems, then the high frequency is injected into the system to assist the controller, and the system is asymptotically stabilized by adjusting the parameters. This paper uses the GM (grey model) and the neural network prediction model. The structure of the neural network is improved from a single factor, and multiple data inputs are extended to various factors and numerous data inputs. The improved model expands the applicable range of uncontrolled elements and improves the accuracy of controlled prediction, using the model that has been trained and stabilized by multiple learning. The simulation results show that the improved gray neural network model has higher prediction accuracy and reliability than the traditional GM model, improving controlled management and pre-control ability. In the combined prediction, the time series parameters and the predicted values obtained from the GM (1,1) (Grey Model of first order and one variable) are simultaneously used as the input terms of the neural network, considering the influence of the non-equal spacing of the data, which makes the results of the combined gray neural network model more rationalized. By adjusting the model structure and system parameters to simulate and analyze the controlled elements, the corresponding risk change trend graphs and prediction numerical calculation results are obtained, which also realize the effective prediction of controlled elements. According to the controlled warning principle and objective, the fuzzy evaluation method establishes the corresponding early warning response method. The goals of this paper are towards access to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services, promotion of inclusive and sustainable urbanization and participation, implementation of sustainable and disaster-resilient buildings, sustainable human settlement planning and manage.

Responding to changes in artificial intelligence models and the data environment is crucial for increasing data-learning accuracy and inference stability of industrial applications. A learning model that is overfitted to specific training data leads to poor learning performance and a deterioration in flexibility. Therefore, an early stopping technique is used to stop learning at an appropriate time. However, this technique does not consider the homogeneity and independence of the data collected by heterogeneous nodes in a differential network environment, thus resulting in low learning accuracy and degradation of system performance. In this study, the generalization performance of neural networks is maximized, whereas the effect of the homogeneity of datasets is minimized by achieving an accuracy of 99.7%. This corresponds to a decrease in delay time by a factor of 2.33 and improvement in performance by a factor of 2.5 compared with the conventional method.

In this paper, we propose the Multi-FPNN(Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks) model based on FNN and PNN(Polyomial Neural Networks) for optimal system identifacation. Here FNN structure is designed using fuzzy input space divided by each separated input variable, and urilized both in order to get better output performace. Each node of PNN structure based on GMDH(Group Method of Data handing) method uses two types of high-order polynomials such as linearane and quadratic, and the input of that node uses three kinds of multi-variable inputs such as linear and quadratic, and the input of that node and Genetic Algorithms(GAs) to identify both the structure and the prepocessing of parameters of a Multi-FPNN model. Here, HCM clustering method, which is carried out for data preproessing of process system, is utilized to determine the structure method, which is carried out for data preprocessing of process system, is utilized to determance index with a weighting factor is used to according to the divisions of input-output space.

In pattern classification, feature selection is an important factor in the performance of classifiers. In particular, when classifying a large number of features or variables, the accuracy and computational time of the classifier can be improved by using the relevant feature subset to remove the irrelevant, redundant, or noisy data. The proposed method consists of two parts: a wrapper part with an improved genetic algorithm(GA) using a new reproduction method and a filter part using mutual information. We also considered feature selection methods based on mutual information(MI) to improve computational complexity. Experimental results show that this method can achieve better performance in pattern recognition problems than other conventional solutions.

Nowadays almost all universities are endeavoring to improve the quality of education offered. The quality of education that is provided should be measured beforehand. This study examined three methods, SERVQUAL, SERVPERF and Lee and Yun(2004)'s method of measuring service quality: SERVQUAL, SERVPERF are well known and the most commonly used measurement of the quality of education offered and the Lee and Yun(2004)'s method measures service quality using fuzzy numbers. As a result of this research, SERVQUAL was proven to be the most efficient method to measure the quality of education offered. Even though, more actual analysis related to this study should be followed, the research is meaningful in a way that it provided clues and reasons for the study.

The premature convergence of genetic algorithms (GAs) is the most major factor of slow evolution of GAs. In this paper we propose a novel method to solve this problem through competition of multiple offspring of in dividuals. Unlike existing methods, each parents in our method generates multiple offspring and then generated multiple offspring compete each other, finally winner offspring become to real offspring. From this multiple offspring competition, our GA rarel falls into the premature convergence and easily gets out of the local optimum areas without negative effects. This makes our GA fast evolve to the global optimum. Experimental results with four function optimization problems showed that our method was superior to the original GA and had similar performances to the best ones of queen-bee GA with best parameters.

Due to the discontinuous nature of uncertainty quantification in conventional evidence theory(ET), the computational cost of reliability analysis based on ET model is very high. A novel ET model based on fuzzy distribution and the corresponding combination rule to synthesize the judgments of experts are put forward in this paper. The intersection and union of membership functions are defined as belief and plausible membership function respectively, and the Murfhy's average combination rule is adopted to combine the basic probability assignment for focal elements. Then the combined membership functions are transformed to the equivalent probability density function by a normalizing factor. Finally, a reliability analysis procedure for structures with the mixture of epistemic and aleatory uncertainties is presented, in which the equivalent normalization method is adopted to solve the upper and lower bound of reliability. The effectiveness of the procedure is demonstrated by a numerical example and an engineering example. The results also show that the reliability interval calculated by the suggested method is almost identical to that solved by conventional method. Moreover, the results indicate that the computational cost of the suggested procedure is much less than that of conventional method. The suggested ET model provides a new way to flexibly represent epistemic uncertainty, and provides an efficiency method to estimate the reliability of structures with the mixture of epistemic and aleatory uncertainties.

Since the signing of the Korea-Europe Free Trade Agreement, the volume of trade transactions between South Korea and Europe has increased. The traditional single-mode transport system has been transformed into an intermodal transport system using two or more modes of transport. In addition, the conventional sea and air transport routes have been restricted, leading to a decline in Korean exports to Europe, and the rail transport mode is becoming mainstream in the market due to the influence of COVID-19. This paper focuses on the China-Railway Express to explore a new intermodal transport route from Korea to Europe. First, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to evaluate the factor weights when selecting intermodal transport routes from Korea to Europe. Then, the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method is used to rank three alternatives. The results show that among the four factors (total cost, total time, transportation capability, and service reliability), the total cost is the most significant factor, followed by the total time, service reliability, and transportation capability. Furthermore, the alternative route 1 (Incheon-Dalian-Manchuria-Hamburg) is preferred.
