A portable electronic tongue(E-Tongue) system using an array of ion-selective electrode(ISE) and personal digital assistants(PDA) for recognizing and analyzing food and drink have been designed. By the employment of PDA, the complex algorithm such as fuzzy c-means algorithm(FCMA) could be used in E-Tongue, FCMA could iteratively solve the cluster centers of pre-determined standard patterns. And the membership between the standard patterns and unknown pattern could be analyzed easily by the present E-Tongue combined with PDA.

In this paper, we suggest method that change odors to digital data. For this, we selected emotional adjective of odors as olfactory receptor This emotional adjective(expressional receptor) is about 40. Each odors are expressed by adjective equivalent to oneself. Expressed odors as emotional receptor is encoded as proposed method for transmission, and after transmission, It should be decoded for expression again. The applied decoding method is fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm(FCMA). But, because odor data is expressed to 40 dimensions, FCMA uses a lot of computing times and memories. To solve this problem, after we reduce dimension through principal component analysis(PCA), we use FCMA algorithm.

In this paper, we introduce a new category of fuzzy inference systems baled on information granulation to carry out the model identification of complex and nonlinear systems. Informal speaking, information granules are viewed as linked collections of objects(data, in particular) drawn together by the criteria of proximity, similarity, or functionality. Granulation of information with the aid of Hard C-Means(HCM) clustering algorithm help determine the initial parameters 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 initial parameters are tuned effectively with the aid of the genetic algorithms(GAs) and the least square method. The proposed model is contrasted with the performance of the conventional fuzzy models in the literature.

Numerical example is included to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.

Information about retinal blood vessels can be used in grading disease severity or as part of the process of automated diagnosis of diseases with ocular menifestations. In this paper, we address the problem of detecting retinal blood vessels and optic disk (papilla) in eye-fundus images. We introduce an algorithm for feature extraction based on Fuzzy Clustering algorithm (fuzzy c-means). A method of finding the optic disk (papilla) is proposed in the eye-fundus images. Additionally, the inrormations such as position and area of the optic disk are extracted. The results are compared to those obtained from other methods. The automatic detection of retinal blood vessels and optic disk in the eye-rundus images could help physicians in diagnosing ocular diseases.

A FCM with locational price and regional information between locations are proposed in this paper. Any point in a networked system has its own values indicating the physical characteristics of that networked system and regional information at the same time. The similarity measure used for FCM in this paper is defined through the system-wide characteristic values at each point. To avoid the grouping of geometrically distant locations with similar measures, the locational information are properly considered and incorporated in the proposed similarity measure. We have verified that the proposed measure has produced proper classification of a networked system, followed by an example of a networked electricity system.

The recycling cell formation problem means that disposal products are classified into recycling part families using group technology in their end of life phase. Disposal products have the uncertainties of product status by usage influences. Recycling cells are formed considering design, process and usage attributes. In this paper, a novel approach to the design of cellular recycling system is proposed, which deals with the recycling cell formation and assignment of identical products concurrently. Fuzzy clustering algorithm and Fuzzy-ART neural network are applied to describe the states of disposal product with the membership functions and to make recycling cell formation. This approach leads to recycling and reuse of the materials, components, and subassemblies and can evaluate the value at each cell of disposal products. Application examples are illustrated by disposal refrigerators, compared fuzzy clustering with Fuzzy-ART neural network performance in cell formation.

In this paper, the Multi-FNNs(Fuzzy-Neural Networks) architecture is identified and optimized using HCM(Hard C-Means) clustering method and genetic algorithms. The proposed Multi-FNNs architecture uses simplified inference and linear inference as fuzzy inference method and error back propagation algorithm as learning rules. Here, HCM clustering method, which is carried out for the process data preprocessing of system modeling, is utilized to determine the structure of Multi-FNNs according to the divisions of input-output space using I/O process data. Also, the parameters of Multi-FNNs model such as apexes of membership function, learning rates and momentum coefficients are adjusted using genetic algorithms. An aggregate performance index with a weighting factor is used to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization abilities of the model. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model we use the time series data for gas furnace and the NOx emission process data of gas turbine power plant.

In this paper, we construct a hybrid intelligent controller based on a fusion scheme of GA(Genetic Algorithm) and FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering-based ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). In the structure identification, a set of fuzzy rules are generated for a given criterion by FCM clustering algorithm. In the parameter identification, premise parameters are optimally searched by adaptive GA. On the other hand, consequent parameters are estimated by RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimate) to reduce the search space. Finally, we applied the proposed method to the truck backer-upper control and obtained a better performance than previous works.

In this paper, the scheme of fuzzy system construction using GA(genetic algorithm) and FCM(Fuzzy c-means) clustering algorithm is proposed for TSK(Takagi-Sugeno-Kang) type fuzzy system. in the structure identification, input data is trans-formed by PCA(Principal Component Analysis) to reduce the correlation among input data components. And then, the number of fuzzy rule is obtained by a given performance criterion. In the parameter identification, the premise parameters are optimally searched by GA. On the other hand, the consequent parameters are estimated by RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimate) to reduce the search space. From this, one can systematically obtain optimal parameter and the v..
