Fuzzy systems and unsupervised computing: exploration of applications in biology
In this thesis we will explore the use of fuzzy systems
theory for applications in bioinformatics. The theory of fuzzy systems is
concerned with formulating decision problems in data sets that are
ill-defined. It supports the transfer from a subjective human classification
to a numerical scale. In this manner it affords the testing of hypothesis and
separation of the classes in the data. We first formulate problems in terms
of a fuzzy system and then develop and test algorithms in terms of their
performance with data from the domain of the life-sciences. From the results
and the performance, we will learn about the usefulness of fuzzy systems for
the field, as well as the applicability to the kind of problems and
practicality for the computation itself.
