In this paper, we proposed a new method of modeling a neuro-fuzzy system using a hybrid clustering algorithm. The initial parameters and the number of clusters of the proposed system are optimally chosen simultaneously with respect to the process of regression, which is a unique characteristics of the proposed system. The proposed algorithm presented in this work improves the overall performance of the proposed a neuro-fuzzy system by choosing a proper number of clusters adaptively according the characteristics of given data. The process of clustering is performed by deciding on the number of classes, which yields the property of convergence of the system. In experiments, the superiority of the proposed neuro-fuzzy system is demonstrated, especially the process of optimizing parameters and clustering of learning speed.

The aim of this paper is to determine the replacement time of containerships in economical viewpoint. Especially, there was a lot of vagueness to the cost data for calculation of an economical life in a containership. For this, a fuzzy number used to express the vague nature about a cost data. This paper developed the fuzzy cost model using fuzzy numbers, and to analyze more practically than the existing cost model. And the proposal model used to decide the economical life about various kinds of containerships.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) recording provides a new way to support human-machine communication. It gives us an opportunity to analyze the neuro-dynamics of human cognition. Machine learning is a powerful for the EEG classification. In addition, machine learning can compensate for high variability of EEG when analyzing data in real time. However, the optimal EEG electrode location must be prioritized in order to extract the most relevant features from brain wave data. In this paper, we propose an intelligent system model for the extraction of EEG data by training the optimal electrode location of EEG in a specific problem. The proposed system is basically a fuzzy system and uses a neural network structurally. The fuzzy clustering method is used to determine the optimal number of fuzzy rules using the features extracted from the EEG data. The parameters and weight values found in the process of determining the number of rules determined here must be tuned for optimization in the learning process. Genetic algorithms are used to obtain optimized parameters. We present useful results by using optimal rule numbers and non - symmetric membership function using EEG data for four movements with the right arm through various experiments.

This work presents an approach to model concrete shrinkage. The goal is to permit the concrete industry's experts to develop independent prediction models based on a reduced number of experimental data. The proposed approach combines fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm to optimize the fuzzy decision-making, thereby reducing data collection time. Such an approach was implemented for an experimental data set related to self-compacting concrete. The obtained prediction model was compared against published experimental data (not used in model development) and well-known shrinkage prediction models. The predicted results were verified by statistical analysis, which confirmed the reliability of the developed model. Although the range of application of the developed model is limited, the genetic-fuzzy approach introduced in this work proved suitable for adjusting the prediction model once additional training data are provided. This can be highly inviting for the concrete industry's experts, since they would be able to fine-tune their models depending on the boundary conditions of their production processes.

We consider the Fuzzy clustering which is devised for partitioning a set of objects into a certain number of groups by assigning the membership probabilities to each object. The researches carried out in this field before show that the Fuzzy clustering concept is involved so much that for a certain set of data, the main purpose of the clustering cannot be attained as desired. Thus we propose a new objective function, named as Fuzzy-Entroppy Function in order to satisfy the main motivation of the clustering which is classifying the data clearly. Also we suggest Mean Field Annealing Algorithm as an optimization algorithm rather than the ISODATA used traditionally in this field since the objective function is changed. we show the Mean Field Annealing Algorithm works pretty well not only for the new objective function but also for the classical Fuzzy objective function by indicating that the local minimum problem resulted from the ISODATA can be improved.

In this paper, we have presented a Sequential Agglomerative Hierarchical Nested (SAHN) algorithm-based data clustering method in fuzzy inference system to achieve optimal performance of fuzzy model. SAHN-based algorithm is used to give possible range of number of clusters with cluster centers for the system identification. The axes of membership functions of this fuzzy model are optimized by using cluster centers obtained from clustering method and the consequence parameters of the fuzzy model are identified by standard least square method. Finally, in this paper, we have observed our model's output performance using the Box and Jenkins's gas furnace data and Sugeno's non-linear process data.

The optimal structure of the conventional Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks (FPNN)[3] depends on experience of designer. For the conventional Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks, input variable number, number of input variable, number of Membership Functions(MFs) and consequence structures are selected through the experience of a model designer iteratively. In this paper, we propose the new design methodology to find the optimal structure of Fuzzy Polymomial Neural Network by using Genetic Algorithms(GAs)[4, 5]. In the sequel, It is shown that the proposed Advanced Genetic Algorithms based Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Network(Advanced GAs-based FPNN) is more useful and effective than the existing models for nonlinear process. We used Medical Imaging System(MIS)[6] data to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.

This paper is to propose the fuzzy regression model using genetic algorithm which is fuzzy nonlinear regression model. Genetic algorithm is used to classify the input data for better fuzzy regression analysis. From this partition. each data can be have the grade of membership function which is belonged to a divided data group. The data group, from optimal partition of the region of each variable, have different fuzzy parameters of fuzzy linear regression model one another. We compound the fuzzy output of each data group so as to obtain the final fuzzy number for a data. We show the efficiency of this method by means of demonstration of a case study.

In this paper, we introduce a new structure of fuzzy-neural networks Fuzzy Set-based Polynomial Neural Networks (FSPNN). The two underlying design mechanisms of such networks involve genetic optimization and information granulation. The resulting constructs are Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks (FPNN) with fuzzy set-based polynomial neurons (FSPNs) regarded as their generic processing elements. First, we introduce a comprehensive design methodology (viz. a genetic optimization using Genetic Algorithms) to determine the optimal structure of the FSPNNs. This methodology hinges on the extended Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) and fuzzy set-based rules. It concerns FSPNN-related parameters such as the number of input variables, the order of the polynomial, the number of membership functions, and a collection of a specific subset of input variables realized through the mechanism of genetic optimization. Second, the fuzzy rules used in the networks exploit the notion of information granules defined over systems variables and formed through the process of information granulation. This granulation is realized with the aid of the hard C- Means clustering (HCM). The performance of the network is quantified through experimentation in which we use a number of modeling benchmarks already experimented with in the realm of fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling.
