The variat...An efficient and accurate prediction of a precise tidal level in estuaries and coastal areas is indispensable for the management and decision-making of human activity in the field wok of marine engineering. The variation of the tidal level is a time-varying process. The time-varying factors including interference from the external environment that cause the change of tides are fairly complicated. Furthermore, tidal variations are affected not only by periodic movement of celestial bodies but also by time-varying interference from the external environment. Consequently, for the efficient and precise tidal level prediction, a neuro-fuzzy hybrid technology based on the combination of harmonic analysis and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system（ANFIS）model is utilized to construct a precise tidal level prediction system, which takes both advantages of the harmonic analysis method and the ANFIS network. The proposed prediction model is composed of two modules： the astronomical tide module caused by celestial bodies’ movement and the non-astronomical tide module caused by various meteorological and other environmental factors. To generate a fuzzy inference system（FIS） structure,three approaches which include grid partition（GP）, fuzzy c-means（FCM） and sub-clustering（SC） are used in the ANFIS network constructing process. Furthermore, to obtain the optimal ANFIS based prediction model, large numbers of simulation experiments are implemented for each FIS generating approach. In this tidal prediction study, the optimal ANFIS model is used to predict the non-astronomical tide module, while the conventional harmonic analysis model is used to predict the astronomical tide module. The final prediction result is performed by combining the estimation outputs of the harmonious analysis model and the optimal ANFIS model. To demonstrate the applicability and capability of the proposed novel prediction model, measured tidal level samples of Fort Pulaski tidal station are selected as the testing database. Simulation and experimental results confirm that the proposed prediction approach can achieve precise predictions for the tidal level with high accuracy, satisfactory convergence and stability.展开更多

The optimization and scheduling of semiconductor fabrication has long been a hot research direction in automation. Bottleneck is the key factor to a SM system, which seriously influences the throughput rate, cycle time, time-delivery rate, etc. Efficient prediction for the bottleneck of a SM system provides the best support for the consequent scheduling. Because categorical data (product types, releasing strategies) and numerical data (work in process, processing time, utilization rate, buffer length, etc.) have significant effect on bottleneck, an improved adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was adopted in this study to predict bottleneck since conventional neural network-based methods accommodate only numerical inputs. In this improved ANFIS, the contribution of categorical inputs to firing strength is reflected through a transformation matrix. In order to tackle high-dimensional inputs, reduce the number of fuzzy rules and obtain high prediction accuracy, a fuzzy c-means method combining binary tree linear division method was applied to identify the initial structure of fuzzy inference system. According to the experimental results, the main-bottleneck and sub-bottleneck of SM system can be predicted accurately with the proposed method.展开更多

Therefore, it is a hazard to coal mines. Early detection of coal mine spontaneous combustion is quite difficult because of the complexity of different coal mines. And the traditional threshold discriminance is not suitable for spontaneous combustion detection due to the uncertainty of coalmine combustion. Restrictions of the single detection method will also affect the detection precision in the early time of spontaneous combustion. Although multiple detection methods can be adopted as a complementarity to improve the accuracy of detection, the synthesized method will in- crease the complicacy of criterion, making it difficult to estimate the combustion. To solve this problem, a fuzzy inference system based on CRI （Compositional Rule of Inference） and fuzzy reasoning method FITA （First Infer Then Aggregate） are presented. And the neural network is also developed to realize the fuzzy inference system. Finally, the effectiveness of the inference system is demonstrated bv means of an experiment.展开更多

This tool aims to use a large amount of data and information in the field of plant disease diagnostic to generate a disease predictive system. In this approach, techniques of data mining are used to extract knowledge from existing data. The data is extracted in the form of rules that are used in the development of a predictive intelligent system. Currently, the specification of these rules is built by an expert or data mining. When data mining on a large database is used, the number of generated rules is very complex too. The main goal of this work is minimize the rule generation time. The proposed tool, called DiagData, extracts knowledge automatically or semi-automatically from a database and uses it to build an intelligent system for disease prediction. In this work, the decision tree learning algorithm was used to generate the rules. A toolbox called Fuzzygen was used to generate a prediction system from rules generated by decision tree algorithm. The language used to implement this software was Java. The DiagData has been used in diseases prediction and diagnosis systems and in the validation of economic and environmental indicators in agricultural production systems. The validation process involved measurements and comparisons of the time spent to enter the rules by an expert with the time used to insert the same rules with the proposed tool. Thus, the tool was successfully validated, providing a reduction of time.展开更多

The nasal, chest and abdominal based respiratory signals extracted from polysomnography recordings are obtained from PhysioNet apnea-ECG database. Wavelet transforms are applied on the 1-minute and 3-minute length recordings. According to the preliminary tests, the variances of 10th and 11th detail components can be used as discriminative features for apneas. The features obtained from total 8 recordings are used for training and testing of an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Training and testing process have been repeated by using the randomly obtained five different sequences of whole data for generalization of the ANFIS. According to results, ANFIS based classification has sufficient accuracy for apnea detection considering of each type of respiratory. However, the best result is obtained by analyzing the 3-minute length nasal based respiratory signal. In this study, classification accuracies have been obtained greater than 95.2% for each of the five sequences of entire data.展开更多

文摘Spectral unmixing helps to identify different components present in the spectral mixtures which occur in the uppermost layer of the area owing to the low spatial resolution of hyperspectral images.Most spectral unmixing methods are globally based and do not consider the spectral variability among its endmembers that occur due to illumination,atmospheric,and environmental conditions.Here,endmember bundle extraction plays a major role in overcoming the above-mentioned limitations leading to more accurate abundance fractions.Accordingly,a two-stage approach is proposed to extract endmembers through endmember bundles in hyperspectral images.The divide and conquer method is applied as the first step in subset images with only the non-redundant bands to extract endmembers using the Vertex Component Analysis(VCA)and N-FINDR algorithms.A fuzzy rule-based inference system utilizing spectral matching parameters is proposed in the second step to categorize endmembers.The endmember with the minimum error is chosen as the final endmember in each specific category.The proposed method is simple and automatically considers endmember variability in hyperspectral images.The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated using two real hyperspectral datasets.The average spectral angle and abundance angle are used to analyze the performance measures.
文摘In this paper, it described the architecture of a tool called DiagData. This tool aims to use a large amount of data and information in the field of plant disease diagnostic to generate a disease predictive system. In this approach, techniques of data mining are used to extract knowledge from existing data. The data is extracted in the form of rules that are used in the development of a predictive intelligent system. Currently, the specification of these rules is built by an expert or data mining. When data mining on a large database is used, the number of generated rules is very complex too. The main goal of this work is minimize the rule generation time. The proposed tool, called DiagData, extracts knowledge automatically or semi-automatically from a database and uses it to build an intelligent system for disease prediction. In this work, the decision tree learning algorithm was used to generate the rules. A toolbox called Fuzzygen was used to generate a prediction system from rules generated by decision tree algorithm. The language used to implement this software was Java. The DiagData has been used in diseases prediction and diagnosis systems and in the validation of economic and environmental indicators in agricultural production systems. The validation process involved measurements and comparisons of the time spent to enter the rules by an expert with the time used to insert the same rules with the proposed tool. Thus, the tool was successfully validated, providing a reduction of time.
文摘The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the use of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System(ANFIS)for discrimination between quarry blasts and microearthquakes in the Tehran region using data from the Broadband Iranian National Network Center(BIN).In the south and southeast of Tehran,a large number of quarry blasts“contaminate”the earthquake catalog.In order to identify the real seismicity(tectonic earthquakes)in the region,we need to discriminate quarry blasts from natural earthquakes in the catalog.
文摘This paper presents an efficient and easy implemented method for detecting minute based analysis of sleep apnea. The nasal, chest and abdominal based respiratory signals extracted from polysomnography recordings are obtained from PhysioNet apnea-ECG database. Wavelet transforms are applied on the 1-minute and 3-minute length recordings. According to the preliminary tests, the variances of 10th and 11th detail components can be used as discriminative features for apneas. The features obtained from total 8 recordings are used for training and testing of an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Training and testing process have been repeated by using the randomly obtained five different sequences of whole data for generalization of the ANFIS. According to results, ANFIS based classification has sufficient accuracy for apnea detection considering of each type of respiratory. However, the best result is obtained by analyzing the 3-minute length nasal based respiratory signal. In this study, classification accuracies have been obtained greater than 95.2% for each of the five sequences of entire data.

文摘A class of new fuzzy inference systems New-FISs is presented.Compared with the standard fuzzy system, New-FIS is still a universal approximator and has no fuzzy rule base and linearly parameter growth. Thus, it effectively overcomes the second "curse of dimensionality":there is an exponential growth in the number of parameters of a fuzzy system as the number of input variables,resulting in surprisingly reduced computational complexity and being especially suitable for applications,where the complexity is of the first importance with respect to the approximation accuracy.
文摘The lane changing decision model(LCDM)is a critical component in semi-and fully-automated driving systems.Recent research has found that the fuzzy inference system(FIS)is a promising approach to implementing LCDMs.To improve the FIS’s performance,this research reviewed the challenges in the development an FIS model to make the yes;nof g decisions in discretionary lane changes.The FIS model was revised to bring its fuzzy inference rules more consistent with the fuzzy membership functions,and its com-position and defuzzification methods more in line with the classical fuzzy logic theory.An equitable test data set with approximately equal number of yes;nof g data points was assembled from the same next generation simulation(NGSIM)data used in the past research.The test results proved that:(1)an LCDM’s performance was dependent on how the yes;nof g decisions in the test data set were manually labeled;(2)separating the fuzzy inference rules into a yesf g group and a nof g group and compute the results sep-arately yielded potentially better decision accuracy.Furthermore,The gene expression pro-gramming model(GEPM)performed better than the improved FIS-based model.The findings led the authors to suggest two possible research directions:(1)add the subject vehicle’s speed as an input to the LCDM and redesign the decision-making model;(2)con-struct models for congested and uncongested traffic separately.The authors further sug-gested the use of instrumented vehicles to collect a set of high-fidelity lane changing data in the naturalistic driving environment.

文摘Concrete compressive strength prediction is an essential process for material design and sustainability.This study investigates several novel hybrid adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system(ANFIS)evolutionary models,i.e.,ANFIS-particle swarm optimization(PSO),ANFIS-ant colony,ANFIS-differential evolution(DE),and ANFIS-genetic algorithm to predict the foamed concrete compressive strength.Several concrete properties,including cement content(C),oven dry density(O),water-to-binder ratio(W),and foamed volume(F)are used as input variables.A relevant data set is obtained from open-access published experimental investigations and used to build predictive models.The performance of the proposed predictive models is evaluated based on the mean performance(MP),which is the mean value of several statistical error indices.To optimize each predictive model and its input variables,univariate(C,O,W,and F),bivariate(C-O,C-W,C-F,O-W,O-F,and W-F),trivariate(C-O-W,C-W-F,O-W-F),and four-variate(C-O-W-F)combinations of input variables are constructed for each model.The results indicate that the best predictions obtained using the univariate,bivariate,trivariate,and four-variate models are ANFIS-DE-(O)(MP=0.96),ANFIS-PSO-(C-O)(MP=0.88),ANFIS-DE-(O-W-F)(MP=0.94),and ANFIS-PSO-(C-O-W-F)(MP=0.89),respectively.ANFIS-PSO-(C-O)yielded the best accurate prediction of compressive strength with an MP value of 0.96.

文摘The objective assessment method of network video quality is a challenge, because the video quality will be distorted by various factors, including transmission and compression. In order to improve the objective method, an objective assessment method based on fuzzy inference system of Mamdani is proposed. Firstly, six quality parameters are introduced. All the quality parameters are inputted to fuzzy logic controller system. Secondly, the outputs are used as next inputs and inferred by another fuzzy logic controller system to obtain the objective quality of network video. Lastly, the performance of proposed method is validated on four videos with different network environment. Meanwhile this method is compared with other methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the similarity between subjective and objective assessment.
文摘Density is an important property of natural gas required for the design of gas processing and reservoir simulation.Due to expensive measurement of density,industry tends to predict gas density through an EOS.However,all EOS are associated with uncertainties,especially at highpressure conditions.Also,using sophisticated EOS in commercial software renders simulation highly time-consuming.This work aims to evaluate performance of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system(ANFIS)as a widely-accepted intelligent model for prediction of P-r-T behavior of natural gas.Using experimental data reported in the literature,our inference system was trained with 95 data of natural gas densities in the temperature range of(250-450)K and pressures up to 150 MPa.Additionally,prediction by ANFIS was compared with those of AGA8 and GERG04 which both are leading industrial EOS for calculation of natural gas density.It was observed that ANFIS predicts natural gas density with AARD%of 1.704;and is able to estimate gas density as accurate as sophisticated EOS.The proposed model is applicable for predicting gas density in the range of(250-450)K,(10-150)MPa and also for sweet gases,i.e.,containing a low concentration of N2 and CO2.

文摘The primary objective of this study is to measure fluoride levels in groundwater samples using machine learning approaches alongside traditional and fuzzy logic models based health risk assessment in the hard rock Arjunanadi River basin,South India.Fluoride levels in the study area vary between 0.1 and 3.10 mg/L,with 32 samples exceeding the World Health Organization(WHO)standard of 1.5 mg/L.Hydrogeochemical analyses(Durov and Gibbs)clearly show that the overall water chemistry is primarily influenced by simple dissolution,mixing,and rock-water interactions,indicating that geogenic sources are the predominant contributors to fluoride in the study area.Around 446.5 km^(2)is considered at risk.In predictive analysis,five Machine Learning(ML)models were used,with the AdaBoost model performing better than the other models,achieving 96%accuracy and 4%error rate.The Traditional Health Risk Assessment(THRA)results indicate that 65%of samples pose highly susceptible for dental fluorosis,while 12%of samples pose highly susceptible for skeletal fluorosis in young age groups.The Fuzzy Inference System(FIS)model effectively manages ambiguity and linguistic factors,which are crucial when addressing health risks linked to groundwater fluoride contamination.In this model,input variables include fluoride concentration,individual age,and ingestion rate,while output variables consist of dental caries risk,dental fluorosis,and skeletal fluorosis.The overall results indicate that increased ingestion rates and prolonged exposure to contaminated water make adults and the elderly people vulnerable to dental and skeletal fluorosis,along with very young and young age groups.This study is an essential resource for local authorities,healthcare officials,and communities,aiding in the mitigation of health risks associated with groundwater contamination and enhancing quality of life through improved water management and health risk assessment,aligning with Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)3 and 6,thereby contributing to a cleaner and healthier society.
