First, the problem will be defined very precisely, and then, the algorithm for solving the problem of recognizing words will be presented. Finally, examples are provided to show how the algorithm is applied to recognize different types of words. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The application of the genetic algorithm to the difficult problem of fuzzy system optimization has revealed that they are capable of refining nearly every aspect of the fuzzy system, generating near-optimal con-trollers, which exceed the

The technology is based on the premise that integrated solution architectures will be much more effective and highly flexible in their ability to successfully handle a broad base of applications with a wider scope of problem variations. Hybrid systems in artificial intelligence represent a new field of research that deals with the synergism of expert systems and neural network technologies. The integration of the computational paradigms of these two highly complementary knowledge representation techniques is imperative to the process of developing effective robust intelligent systems for a large number of important applications

Each transition firing in our model is associated with a fuzzy number; during transition, firings tokens are removed from input and added to output places. We consider the marks changing rate in each place as constant, and our performance analysis is based on the reachability state graph. Our model has fuzzy

Research paper thumbnail of Parameterized fuzzy operators in fuzzy decision making

International Journal of Intelligent Systems, 2003

However, different decision agents may have different perceptions for these fuzzy operations. In this article, the concept of parameterized fuzzy operators will be introduced. A parameter α will be used to represent the degree of softness. The variance of α captures the differences of decision agents' subjective attitudes and characteristics, which result in their differing perceptions. The defined parameterized fuzzy operators also should satisfy the axiomatic requirements for the traditional fuzzy operators. A learning algorithm will be proposed to obtain the parameter α given a set of training data for each agent. In this article, the proposed parameterized fuzzy operators will be used in individual decision-making problems. An example is given to show the concept and application of the parameterized fuzzy operators. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

It is based on blending fuzzy logic with conventional robust linear control in order to avoid instability due to non-linear elements, reduce feedback control efforts and achieve desired closed-loop specifications, which are not achievable by linear-time-invariant (LTI) controllers. Backing up trucks is a well-known example whose model includes non-linearities and model
