Identification of Evolving Rule-based Models.
An approach to identification of evolving fuzzy rule-based (eR) models is proposed. eR models implement a method for the noniterative update of both the rule-base structure and parameters by incremental unsupervised learning. The rule-base evolves by adding more informative rules than those that previously formed the model. In addition, existing rules can be replaced with new rules based on ranking using the informative potential of the data. In this way, the rule-base structure is inherited and updated when new informative data become available, rather than being completely retrained. The adaptive nature of these evolving rule-based models, in combination with the highly transparent and compact form of fuzzy rules, makes them a promising candidate for modeling and control of complex processes, competitive to neural networks. The approach has been tested on a benchmark problem and on an air-conditioning component modeling application using data from an installation serving a real building. The results illustrate the viability and efficiency of the approach. (c) IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy System
Genetic programming and bacterial algorithm for neural networks and fuzzy systems design
In the field of control systems it is common to use techniques based on model
adaptation to carry out control for plants for which mathematical analysis may be
intricate. Increasing interest in biologically inspired learning algorithms for control
techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems is in progress. In this
line, this paper gives a perspective on the quality of results given by two different
biologically connected learning algorithms for the design of B-spline neural networks
(BNN) and fuzzy systems (FS). One approach used is the Genetic Programming (GP)
for BNN design and the other is the Bacterial Evolutionary Algorithm (BEA) applied for
fuzzy rule extraction. Also, the facility to incorporate a multi-objective approach to the
GP algorithm is outlined, enabling the designer to obtain models more adequate for
their intended use
Generalized dynamical fuzzy model for identification and prediction
In this paper, the development of an improved Takagi Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model for identification and chaotic time series prediction of nonlinear dynamical systems is proposed. This model combines the advantages of fuzzy systems and Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters, which are autoregressive moving average models, to create internal dynamics with just the control input. The structure of Fuzzy Infinite Impulse Response (FIIR) is presented, and its learning algorithm is described. In the proposed model, the Butterworth analogue prototype filters are estimated using the obtained membership functions. Based on the founding orders of the analogue filters, the IIR filters could be constructed. The IIR filters are introduced to each TS fuzzy rule which produces local dynamics. Gustafson-Kessel (GK) clustering algorithm is used to generate the clusters which will be used to find the number of the IIR parameters for each rule. The hybrid genetic algorithm and simplex method are used to identify the consequence parameters. The stability of the obtained model is studied. To demonstrate the performance of this modeling method, three examples have been chosen. Comparative results between the FIIR model on one hand, and the traditional TS fuzzy model, the neural networks and the neuro-fuzzy network on the other hand. The results show that the proposed method provides promising identification result

Matrix formulation of fuzzy rule-based systems
In this paper, a matrix formulation of fuzzy rule based systems is introduced. A gradient descent training algorithm for the determination of the unknown parameters can also be expressed in a matrix form for various adaptive fuzzy networks. When converting a rule-based system to the proposed matrix formulation, only three sets of linear/nonlinear equations are required instead of set of rules and an inference mechanism. There are a number of advantages which the matrix formulation has compared with the linguistic approach. Firstly, it obviates the differences among the various architectures; and secondly, it is much easier to organize data in the implementation or simulation of the fuzzy system. The formulation will be illustrated by a number of examples
Validation and Verification of Aircraft Control Software for Control Improvement
Validation and Verification are important processes used to ensure software safety and reliability. The Cooper-Harper Aircraft Handling Qualities Rating is one of the techniques developed and used by NASA researchers to verify and validate control systems for aircrafts. Using the Validation and Verification result of controller software to improve controller\u27s performance will be one of the main objectives of this process. Real user feedback will be used to tune PI controller in order for it to perform better. The Cooper-Harper Aircraft Handling Qualities Rating can be used to justify the performance of the improved system
