We introduce a hybrid identification of information granulation(IG)-based fuzzy model to carry out the model identification of complex and nonlinear systems. To optimally design the IG-based fuzzy model we exploit a hybrid identification through genetic alrogithms(GAs) and Hard C-Means (HCM) clustering. An initial structure of fuzzy model is identified by determining the number of input, the seleced input variables, the number of membership function, and the conclusion inference type by means of GAs. Granulation of information data with the aid of HCM clustering help determine the initial paramters of fuzzy model such as the initial apexes of the membership functions and the initial values of polyminial functions being used in the premise and consequence part of the fuzzy rules. And the inital parameters are tuned effectively with the aid of the GAs and the least square method. Numerical example is included to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.

In this paper, an approach to identify fuzzy rules is proposed. The decision of the optimal number of fuzzy rule is made by means of fuzzy c-means clustering. The identification of the parameters of fuzzy implications is carried out by use of genetic algorithms. For the efficinet and fast parameter identification, the reduction thechnique of search areas of genetica algorithms is proposed. The feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated through the identification of the fuzzy model to describe an input-output relation of Gas Furnace. Despite the simplicity of the propsed apprach the accuracy of the identified fuzzy model of gas furnace is superior as compared with that of other fuzzy modles.

We propose a moving object extraction and tracking method for improvement of animal identification and tracking technology. First, we propose a method of merging separated moving objects into a moving object by using FCM (Fuzzy C-Means) clustering algorithm to solve the problem of moving object loss caused by moving object extraction process. In addition, we propose a method of extracting data from a moving object and a method of counting moving objects to determine the number of clusters in order to satisfy the conditions for performing FCM clustering algorithm. Then, we propose a method to continuously track merged moving objects. In the proposed method, color histograms are extracted from feature information of each moving object, and the histograms are continuously accumulated so as not to react sensitively to noise or changes, and the average is obtained and stored. Thereafter, when a plurality of moving objects are overlapped and separated, the stored color histogram is compared with each other to correctly recognize each moving object. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed algorithms through some experiments.

Clustering is one of the most important unsupervised learning methods that clusters data into homogeneous groups. However, cluster centers tend leaning to high density clusters because clustering is based on the distances between data points and cluster centers. In this paper, a modified clustering method forcing cluster centers to be apart by introducing a center-scattering term in the Fuzzy C-Means objective function is introduced. The proposed method converges more to real centers with small number of iterations compared to the original one. All the strengths can be verified with experimental results.

Evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA) have been proven their effectiveness when applying to the design of fuzzy models. However, it tends to suffer from computationally expensWive due to the slow convergence speed. In this study, we propose an approach to develop fuzzy models by means of an improved differential evolution (IDE) to overcome this limitation. The improved differential evolution (IDE) is realized by means of an orthogonal approach and differential evolution. With the invoking orthogonal method, the IDE can search the solution space more efficiently. In the design of fuzzy models, we concern two mechanisms, namely structure identification and parameter estimation. The structure identification is supported by the IDE and C-Means while the parameter estimation is realized via IDE and a standard least square error method. Experimental studies demonstrate that the proposed model leads to improved performance. The proposed model is also contrasted with the quality of some fuzzy models already reported in the literature.

In this paper, a new design methodology of the fuzzy controller is presented. The performance of the fuzzy controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors. The design procedure is based on evolutionary computing (more specifically, a genetic algorithm) and estimation algorithm to adjust and estimate scaling factors respectively. The tuning of the soiling factors of the fuzzy controller is essential to the entire optimization process. And then we estimate scaling factors of the fuzzy controller by means of two types of estimation algorithms such as HCM (Hard C-Means) and Neuro-Fuzzy model[7]. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed estimation algorithm for the fuzzy controller are demonstrated by the inverted pendulum system.

플러스터링이란 주어진 데이터 집합의 패턴들을 비슷한 성실을 가지는 그룹으로 나누어 패턴 상호간의 관계를 정립하기 위한 방법론으로, 지금가지 이를 위한 많은 알고리즘들이 개발되어 왔으며, 패턴인식, 영상 처리 등의 여러 공학 분야에 널리 적용되고 있다. FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) 알고리즘은 최소자승 기준함수(least square criterion function)에 퍼지이론을 적용만 목적함수의 반복최적화(iterative optimization)에 기반을 둔 방식으로, 하드 분할에 의한 기존의 클러스터링 방법이 승자(winner take all) 형태의 방법론을 취하는데 비하여, 각 패턴이 특정 클러스터에 속하는 소속정도를 줌으로써 보다 정확한 정보를 형성하도록 도와준다. 본 논문에서는 FCM 기법을 이용한 웹로그 분석을 하고자 한다.

The Possibilistic C-means(PCM) was proposed to overcome some of the drawbacks associated with the Fuzzy C-means(FCM) such as improved performance for noise data. However, PCM possesses some drawbacks such as sensitivity in initial parameter values and to patterns that have relatively short distances between the prototypes. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose an interval type 2 fuzzy approach to PCM by considering uncertainty in the fuzzy parameter m in the PCM algorithm.

수천 개의 유전자 발현 정보를 가지고 있는 DNA 마이크로어레이 기술의 발달로 대량의 생물정보를 빠른 시간 내에 분석하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 유전자를 분석하는 방법 중 하나인 클러스터링 방법은 비슷한 기능을 가진 유전자들을 집단화시켜서 집단내의 유전자들의 기능을 밝히거나, 미지의 유전자를 분석하는데 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유전자 데이터를 분석하기 위한 퍼지 클러스터링 방법과 이를 효과적으로 검증할 수 있는 베이지안 검증 방법을 제안한다. 퍼지 c-means 알고리즘을 사용하여 클러스터를 생성하고, 클러스터 결과를 기존의 퍼지 클러스터 검증 방법들과 본 논문에서 제안하는 베이지안 검증 방법을 사용하여 비교 평가한다. 베이지안 검증 방법은 각 유전자의 클러스터 멤버쉽을 확률로 이용하여 각 클러스터에 속할 확률을 계산하고, 이 값을 가장 크게 해주는 클러스터 집단을 선택한다. 이 방법은 기존의 퍼지 클러스터 검증 방법들과는 달리 클러스터 수에 무관한 평가가 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. Serum과 Yeast 데이터에 대한 실험 결과, 베이지안 검증 방법의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In port management, the scale of facilities and port layouts are major factors characterizing the port, which influence port economics and productivities continuously through the port operation. Grouping ports in certain region by their characteristics could be used as the principal informations to establish national policy for port development or investment and also to analyze the competitiveness between ports. Currently Korean ports are divided into two groups such as the local port and the designated port containing foreign trade port and coastal port under the Korean port law. These divisions seem to be used for port administration as the matter of convenience but some qualitative grouping is needed for research of port problems. In this paper, 20 major Korean ports were clustered by the similar characteristics using Fuzzy C-Means and found to be classified 8 qualitative groups.
