Knowledge acquisition is a bottleneck in knowledge-based system implementation. Decision tree induction is a useful machine learning approach for extracting classification knowledge from a set of training examples. Many real-world data contain fuzziness due to observation error, uncertainty, subjective judgement, and so on. To cope with this problem of real-world data, there have been some works on fuzzy classification rule learning. This paper makes a survey for the kinds of fuzzy classification rules. In addition, it presents a fuzzy classification rule learning method based on decision tree induction, and shows some experiment results for the method.

A rule weight -based fuzzy classification model is proposed to analyze the patterns of admission-discharge of patients as a previous research for differential diagnosis of dyspnea. The proposed model is automatically generated from a labeled data set, supervised learning strategy, using three procedure methodology: i) select fuzzy partition regions from spatial distribution of data; ii) generate fuzzy membership functions from the selected partition regions; and iii) extract a set of candidate rules and resolve a conflict problem among the candidate rules. The effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy classification model was demonstrated by comparing the experimental results for the dyspnea patients' data set with 11 features selected from 55 features by clinicians with those obtained using the conventional classification methods, such as standard fuzzy classifier without rule weights, C4.5, QDA, kNN, and SVMs.

This paper has design of ECG pattern classification system using decision of fuzzy IF-THEN rules and neural network. each fuzzy IF-THEN rule in our classification system has antecedent lingustic values and a single consequent class. we use a fuzzy reasoning method based on a single winner rule in the classification phase. this paper in, the MIT/BIH arrhythmia database for the source of input signal is used in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. From the simulation results, we can effectively pattern classification by application of learned from neural networks.

In this paper we described an approach to automation of visual inspection of solder joint defects of SMC(Surface Mounted Components) on PCBs(Printed Circuit Board) by using neural network and fuzzy rule-based classification method. Inherently the surface of the solder joints is curved tiny and specular reflective it induces difficulty of taking good image of the solder joints. And the shape of the solder joints tends to greatly vary with the soldering condition and the shapes are not identical to each other even though the solder joints belong to a set of the same soldering quality. This problem makes it difficult to classify the solder joints according to their qualities. Neural network and fuzzy rule-based classification method is proposed to effi-ciently make human-like classification criteria of the solder joint shapes. The performance of the proposed approach is tested on numerous samples of commercial computer PCB boards and compared with the results of the human inspector performance and the conventional Kohonen network.

This paper presents a method of object classification from dynamic image based on fuzzy inference algorithm which is suitable for low speed such as, conveyor, uninhabited transportation. At first, by using feature parameters of moving object, fuzzy if - then rule that can be able to adapt the wide variety of surroundings is developed. Secondly, implication function for fuzzy inference are compared with respect the proposed algorithm. Simulation results are presented to testify the performance and applicability of the proposed system.

Recently, researches on ontology-based pattern classification have been tried out in many fields. However, in most of the researches, the ontology which represents the knowledge about pattern classification is just referred during the processes of the pattern classification. In this paper, we propose ontology-based fuzzy classifier for pattern classification which is extended from the fuzzy rule-based classifier In order to realize the proposed classifier, we construct an ontology by conceptualizing the method of fuzzy rule-based pattern classification and generate ontology inference rules for pattern classification. Lastly, we show the validity o) the proposed classifier through the experiment of pattern classification on the Fisher's IRIS dataset.

This paper proposed a method that can be simply analyzed instead of the basic general Fuzzy rule that its insufficient characters are cut out. Based on the proposed method. Rough sets are used to eliminate the incomplete attributes included in the rule and also for a classification more precise; the agreement of the membership function's output extracted the maximum attributes. Besides, the proposed method in the simulation shows that in order to verify the validity, compare the max-product result of fuzzy before and after reducing rule hosed on the rice taste data; then, we can see that both the max-product result of fuzzy before and after reducing rule are exactly the same; for a verification more objective, we compared the defuzzificated real number section.

This paper presents new pruning and learning methods for the fuzzy rule-based classifier. The structure of the proposed classifier is framed from the fuzzy sets in the premise part of the rule and the Bayesian classifier in the consequent part. For the simplicity of the model structure, the unnecessary features for each fuzzy rule are eliminated through the iterative pruning algorithm. The quality of the feature is measured by the proposed correctness method, which is defined as the ratio of the fuzzy values for a set of the feature values on the decision region to one for all feature values. For the improvement of the classification performance, the parameters of the proposed classifier are finely adjusted by using the gradient descent method so that the misclassified feature vectors are correctly re-categorized. The cost function is determined as the squared-error between the classifier output for the correct class and the sum of the maximum output for the rest and a positive scalar. Then, the learning rules are derived from forming the gradient. Finally, the fuzzy rule-based classifier is tested on two data sets and is found to demonstrate an excellent performance.

The initial fuzzy partitions in fuzzy rule-based classification systems are determined by considering the domain region of each attribute with the given data, and the optimal classification boundaries within the fuzzy partitions can be discovered by tuning their parameters using various learning processes such as neural network, genetic algorithm, and so on. In this paper, we propose a selection method for fuzzy partition based on statistical information to maximize the performance of pattern classification without learning processes where statistical information is used to extract the uncertainty regions (i.e., the regions which the classification boundaries in pattern classification problems are determined) in each input attribute from the numerical data. Moreover the methods for extracting the candidate rules which are associated with the partition intervals generated by statistical information and for minimizing the coupling problem between the candidate rules are additionally discussed. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compared the classification accuracy of the proposed with those of conventional methods on the IRIS and New Thyroid Cancer data. From experimental results, we can confirm the fact that the proposed method only considering statistical information of the numerical patterns provides equal to or better classification accuracy than that of the conventional methods.

Fuzzy neural network is an integrated model of artificial neural network and fuzzy system and it has been successfully applied in control and forecasting area. Recently ANFIS(Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System) has been noticed widely among various fuzzy neural network models because of its outstanding accuracy of control and forecasting area. We design a new classification model based on ANFIS and evaluate it in terms of classification accuracy. We identified ANFIS-based classification model has higher classification accuracy compared to existing classification model, C5.0 decision tree model by comparing their experimental results.
