The neuromorphic architecture uses a spiking neural network (SNN) model to derive more accurate results as more spike values are accumulated through inference experiments. When the inference result converges to a specific value, even if the inference experiment is further performed, the change in the result is smaller and power consumption may increase. In particular, in an AI-based IoT environment, power consumption can be a big problem. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a technique to reduce the power consumption of AI-based IoT by reducing the inference time by adjusting the inference image exposure time in the neuromorphic architecture environment. The proposed technique calculates the next inferred image exposure time by reflecting the change in inference accuracy. In addition, the rate of reflection of the change in inference accuracy can be adjusted with a coefficient value, and an optimal coefficient value is found through a comparison experiment of various coefficient values. In the proposed technique, the inference image exposure time corresponding to the target accuracy is greater than that of the linear technique, but the overall power consumption is less than that of the linear technique. As a result of measuring and evaluating the performance of the proposed method, it is confirmed that the inference experiment applying the proposed method can reduce the final exposure time by about 90% compared to the inference experiment applying the linear method.

This paper proposes a self tuning fuzzy inference method by the genetic algorithm in the fuzzy-sliding mode control for a robot. Using this method, the number of inference rules and the shape of membership functions are optimized without an expert in robotics. The fuzzy outputs of the consequent part are updated by the gradient descent method. And, it is guaranteed that he selected solution become the global optimal solution by optimizing the Akaikes information criterion expressing the quality of the inference rules. The trajectory tracking simulation and experiment of the polishing robot show that the optimal fuzzy inference rules are automatically selected by the genetic algorithm and the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller provides reliable tracking performance during the polishing process.

Concepts and categories offer the basis for inference pertaining to unobserved features. Prior research on category-based induction that used blank properties has suggested that similarity between categories and features explains feature inference (Rips, 1975; Osherson et al., 1990). However, it was shown by later research that prior knowledge had a large influence on category-based inference and cases were reported where similarity effects completely disappeared. Thus, this study tested category-based feature inference when features are connected in a causal chain and proposed a feature inference model that predicts participants' inference ratings. Each participant learned a category with four features connected in a causal chain and then performed feature inference tasks for an unobserved feature in various exemplars of the category. The results revealed nonindependence, that is, the features not only linked directly to the target feature but also to those screened-off by other feature nodes and affected feature inference (a violation of the causal Markov condition). Feature inference model of causal model theory (Sloman, 2005) explained nonindependence by predicting the effects of directly linked features and indirectly related features. Indirect features equally affected participants' inference regardless of causal distance, and the model predicted smaller effects regarding causally distant features.

Most of existing expert systems developed for Web use CGI-based techniques and this frequently makes them suffer from the overburden of commercial Web servers, which deal with large-scale services. However, since HTML-based inference technique represents expert's knowledge by hyperlinks among HTML documents, the hypertext function of the Web can perform the inference efficiently in terms of time and space without the help of additional inference engines. In spite of such benefits, when the expert's knowledge is relatively large and/or complicated, the HTML-based inference technique has usually become to have a hard time of dealing with a lot of HTML documents because generation and management tasks of the numerous HTML documents would cause big trouble to the knowledge engineer. To resolve this problem, we developed an automatic generation and management tool for Web-based inference sites, called WeBIS. With this tool, a knowledge engineer can input and edit expert's knowledge using Expert's Diagram on the GUI(Graphical User Interface) environment and automatically generate hyper-linked HTML documents for Web-based inference from the Expert's Diagram.

Inference engine that performs the brain of software agent in next generation's web with various standards based on standard language of the web, XML has to understand SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) that is a language to express the rule in the Semantic Web. In this research, we want to develop a forward inference engine, SMART-F (SeMantic web Agent Reasoning Tools-Forward chaining inference engine) that uses SWRL as a rule express method, and OWL as a fact express method. In the traditional inference field, the Rete algorithm that improves effectiveness of forward rule inference by converting if-then rules to network structure is often used for forward inference. To apply this to the Semantic Web, we analyze the required functions for the SWRL-based forward inference, and design the forward inference algorithm that reflects required functions of next generation's Semantic Web deducted by Rete algorithm. And then, to secure each platform's independence and portability in the ubiquitous environment and overcome the gap of performance, we developed management tool of fact and rule base and forward inference engine. This is compatible with fact and rule base of SMART-B that was developed. So, this maximizes a practical use of knowledge in the next generation's Web environment.

The reliability test is a crucial step for ensuring robustness of high-cost and complex weapon systems. In this paper, we present a set of quantitative criteria to select critical parts or components in weapon systems for the reliability test, and implement a fuzzy inference system by applying developed criteria to fuzzy theory. We classify the selection criteria of critical parts or components into four fuzzy sets and membership functions. A fuzzy inference rule is proposed based on the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis technique so as to derive a convincing reliability test. The credibility of the fuzzy inference system is confirmed through a case study using actual equipment data exacted from an existent weapon system.

Owl-based ontology is useful to realize the context-aware services which are composed of the distributed and self-configuring modules. Many ontology-based inference engines are developed to infer useful information from ontology. Since these engines show the uniqueness in terms of speed and information richness, it's difficult to ensure stable operation in providing dynamic context-aware services, especially when they should deal with the complex and big-size ontology. To provide a best inference service, the purpose of this paper is to propose a novel methodology of context-aware engine selection in a contextually prompt manner Case-based reasoning is applied to identify the causality between context and inference engined to be selected. Finally, a series of experiments is performed with a novel evaluation methodology to what extent the methodology works better than competitive methods on an actual context-aware service.

In this paper an electro-hydraulic servo system is designed by using a fuzzy control algorithm. In order to drive an optimal fuzzy control system, a simulation program for the control system has been developed. By this program the fuzzifier and defuzzifier, a fuzzy inference method, a fuzzy relational matrix, and a fuzzy inference method are investigated. As a result, Larsen inference method, 9*9 fuzzy relational matrix, and center of area defuzzifier are turned out the best as parameters. Finally this method is compared with the conventional PID algotithm, and showed that the fuzzy control performs better than PID algorithm. The fuzzy control performs very well adap- tation against uncertain disturbances.

As a part of the configuration design expert system of machine tools, inference mechanisms are constructed in this paper. In addition to procedural inference, the method of multivariable inference is considered as an efficient approach to deal with the cases of highly coupled condition. We propose a generalized multivariable inference procedure. The procedure is applied to the type selection module of the configuration design expert system of machine tools in order to demonstrate the efficiency and validity.
