A novel fuzzy learning framework that employs fuzzy inference to solve the problem of Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is presented. The framework introduces a new class of fuzzy inference systems called Multiple Instance Mamdani Fuzzy Inference Systems (MI-Mamdani). In multiple instance problems, the training data is ambiguously labeled. Instances are grouped into bags, labels of bags are known but not those of individual instances. MIL deals with learning a classifier at the bag level. Over the years, many solutions to this problem have been proposed. However, no MIL formulation employing fuzzy inference exists in the literature. Fuzzy logic is powerful at modeling knowledge uncertainty and measurements imprecision. It is one of the best frameworks to model vagueness. However, in addition to uncertainty and imprecision, there is a third vagueness concept that fuzzy logic does not address quiet well, yet. This vagueness concept is due to the ambiguity that arises when the data have multiple forms of expression, this is the case for multiple instance problems. In this paper, we introduce multiple instance fuzzy logic that enables fuzzy reasoning with bags of instances. Accordingly, a MI-Mamdani that extends the standard Mamdani inference system to compute with multiple instances is introduced. The proposed framework is tested and validated using a synthetic dataset suitable for MIL problems. Additionally, we apply the proposed multiple instance inference to fuse the output of multiple discrimination algorithms for the purpose of landmine detection using Ground Penetrating Radar.

본 논문에서는 interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(IT2PFCM) 클러스터링 방법에 multiple Gaussian kernels을 기반으로 한 possibilistic fuzzy C-means multiple kernels(PFCM-MK) 알고리즘을 결합하여 적응적인 하이브리드 클러스터링 방법인 multiple kernels interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(IT2PFCM-MK) 방법을 제안 하였다. 일반적으로 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(PFCM) 알고리즘은 fuzzy C-means(FCM) 알고리즘의 단점인 노이즈 민감성 및 특이점 문제와 알고리즘 초기 클러스터의 Prototype에 따라 위치가 겹치는 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안 되었다. 하지만 이 방법 역시 퍼지화 파라미터 값에 따라 위와 같은 문제를 여전히 가지고 있기 때문에 이와 같은 문제를 보완하기 위해 interval type-2 퍼지 접근 방법을 이용 하는 interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(IT2PFCM) 알고리즘을 제안 하였다. 또한 multiple kernels 함수를 interval type-2 possibilistic fuzzy C-means(IT2PFCM) 알고리즘에 적용하여 분류하기 복잡한 형태의 데이터와 노이즈가 있는 데이터에 대하여 보다 정확하고, 향상된 클러스터링을 수행할 수 있다.

Quality control is essential to the final product in BGA-type PCB fabrication. So, many automatic vision systems have been developed to achieve speedy, low cost and high quality inspection. A multiple threshold selection algorithm is a very important technique for machine vision based inspection. In this paper, an inspected image is modeled by using fuzzy sets and then the parameters of specified membership functions are estimated to be in maximum fuzzy entropy with the probability of the fuzzy sets, using the exhausted search method. Fuzzy c-partitions with the estimated parameters are automatically generated, and then multiple thresholds are selected as the crossover points of the fuzzy sets that form the estimated fuzzy partitions. Several experiments related to flip chip BGA images show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous ones using both entropy and variance, and also can be successfully applied to AVI systems.

A decrease in the birthrate and aging are progressing in Japan and several countries. In that society, it is important that physically weak persons such as elderly persons are able to take care of themselves. We have been developing exoskeletal robots for human (especially for physically weak persons) motion support. In this study, the controller controls the angular position and impedance of the exoskeltal robot system using multiple fuzzy-neuro controllers based on biological signals that reflect the human subject's intention. Skin surface electromyogram (EMG) signals and the generated wrist force by the human subject during the elbow motion have been used as input information of the controller. Since the activation level of working muscles tends to vary in accordance with the flexion angle of elbow, multiple fuzzy-neuro controllers are applied in the proposed method. The multiple fuzzy-neuro controllers are moderately switched in accordance with the elbow flexion angle. Because of the adaptation ability of the fuzzy-neuro controllers, the exoskeletal robot is flexible enough to deal with biological signal such as EMG. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

In this paper, an output tracking control technique of discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy systems is developed. The TS fuzzy system is represented as an uncertain multiple linear system. The tracking problem of TS fuzzy system is converted into the stabilization problem of a uncertain multiple linear system. A sufficient condition for asymptotic tracking is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). A design example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The uncertain TS fuzzy system is represented as an uncertain multiple linear system. The tracking problem of TS fuzzy system is converted into the regulation problem of a multiple linear system. A sufficient condition for robust tracking is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMI). A Design example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We have designed a multiple-valued fuzzy Approximate Analogical-Reseaning system (AARS). The system uses a similarity measure of fuzzy sets and a threshold of similarity ST to determine whether a rule should be fired, with a Modification Function inferred from the Similarity Measure to deduce a consequent. Multiple-valued basic fuzzy blocks are used to construct the system. A description of the system is presented to illustrate the operation of the schema. The results of simulations show that the system can perform about 3.5 x 106 inferences per second. Finally, we compare the system with Yamakawa's chip which is based on the Compositional Rule of Inference (CRI) with Mamdani's implication.

In order to improve the accuracy of cell selection in heterogeneous cellular systems, this paper proposes a fuzzy multiple-objective decision-based cell selection (FMDCS) strategy. Since heterogeneous cellular systems have different access technologies and multiple traffic classes, the strategy adopts cell type, data rate, coverage, transmission delay, and call arrival rate as evaluation indices, and uses different weight vectors according to the traffic classes of the mobile host. Then, a fuzzy multiple-objective decision algorithm is applied to select the optimal cell from all candidates. This paper also gives an instance analysis and simulation. The instance analysis shows FMDCS makes different selections for different traffic classes. Simulation results of the after-handoff quality-of-service (QoS) show the selected cell can provide MH optimal service.

Fuzzy mathematical programming (FMP) can be treated an uncertainty condition using fuzzy concept. Further, it can be extended to the multiple objective (or goal) programming problem, naturally. But we feel that FMP have some shortcomings such as the fuzzy number in FMP is the one dimesional possibility set, so it can not be represented the relationship between them, and, in spite of FMP includes some (uncertainty) fuzzy paramenters, many alogrithms are only obtained a crisp solution.In this study, we propose a method of FMS. Our method use the scenario approach (or fuzzy random variables) to represent the relationship between fuzzy numbers, and can obtain the fuzzy solution.
