Fuzzy interpolative reasoning strengthens the power of fuzzy inference by the enhancement of the robustness of fuzzy systems and the reduction of the systems’ complexity. However, after a series of interpolations, it is ...

Adaptive fuzzy interpolation strengthens the potential of fuzzy interpolative reasoning. It first identifies all possible sets of faulty fuzzy reasoning components, termed the candidates, each of which may have led to all ...

This paper presents an application of supervised machine learning approaches to the classification of the yeast S. cerevisiae gene expression data. Established feature selection techniques based on information gain ranking ...

Qualitative electrical circuit models have now been developed by the QR community to the extent that they can be found in commercial software products. Our own work, including this paper, deals with steady-state models ...

Vertex cover is one of the best known NP-Hard combinatorial optimization problems. Experimental work has claimed that evolutionary algorithms (EAs) perform fairly well for the problem and can compete with problem-specific ...

A quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) modeling was carried out for the anti-HIV-1 activities of 3-(3,5-dimethylbenzyl)uracil derivatives. The ant colony optimization (ACO) strategy was used as a feature ...

A recent TRANSACTIONS ON FUZZY SYSTEMS paper proposing a new fuzzy-rough feature selector (FRFS) has claimed that the more attributes remain in datasets, the better the approximations and hence resulting models. [Tsang et ...

Rough set theory provides a methodology for data analysis based on the approximation of concepts in information systems. It revolves around the notion of discernibility: the ability to distinguish between objects, based ...

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is typically performed by a team of engineers working together. In general, they will only consider single point failures in a system. Consideration of all possible combinations of ...

This paper examines software designs produced by students nearing completion of their Computer Science degrees. The results of this multi-national, multi-institutional experiment present some interesting implications for ...
