Clustering is one of the most well-known unsupervised learning methods that clusters data into homogeneous groups. Clustering has been used in various applications and FCM is one of the representative methods. In Fuzzy C-Means(FCM), however, cluster centers tend leaning to high density areas because the Euclidean distance measure forces high density clusters to make more contribution to clustering result. Previously proposed was density-independent clustering method, where cluster centers were made not to be close each other and relived the center deviation problem. Density-independent clustering method has a limitation that it is difficult to specify the position of the cluster centers. In this paper, an enhanced density-independent clustering method with an additional term that makes cluster centers to be placed around dense region is proposed. The proposed method converges more to real centers compared to FCM and density-independent clustering, which can be verified with experimental results.

The main source of noise in computed tomography (CT) images is a quantum noise, which results from statistical fluctuations of X-ray quanta reaching the detector. This paper proposes a neural network (NN) based hybrid filter for removing quantum noise. The proposed filter consists of bilateral filters (BFs), a single or multiple neural edge enhancer(s) (NEE), and a neural filter (NF) to combine them. The BFs take into account the difference in value from the neighbors, to preserve edges while smoothing. The NEE is used to clearly enhance the desired edges from noisy images. The NF acts like a fusion operator, and attempts to construct an enhanced output image. Several measurements are used to evaluate the image quality, like the root mean square error (RMSE), the improvement in signal to noise ratio (ISNR), the standard deviation ratio (MSR), and the contrast to noise ratio (CNR). Also, the modulation transfer function (MTF) is used as a means of determining how well the edge structure is preserved. In terms of all those measurements and means, the proposed filter shows better performance than the guided filter, and the nonlocal means (NLM) filter. In addition, there is no severe restriction to select the number of inputs for the fusion operator differently from the neuro-fuzzy system. Therefore, without concerning too much about the filter selection for fusion, one could apply the proposed hybrid filter to various images with different modalities, once the corresponding noise characteristics are explored.

A new model for the propagation prediction for mobile communication network inside building is presented in this paper. The model is based on the determination of the dominant paths between the transmitter and the receiver. The field strength is predicted with adaptive neuro - fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), trained with measurements. The advantage of the ANFIS with hybrid least squares and gradient descent algorithms is fast convergence compared with original neural network. The K-means algorithm for selection of training patterns is also used. Comparison of our predicted results to measurements indicate that improvements in accuracy over conventional empirical model are achieved.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method to detect shot changes in compressed MPEG video data by using reference features among video frames. The reference features among video frames imply the similarities among adjacent frames by prediction coded type of each frame. A shot change is detected if the similarity degrees of a frame and its adjacent frames are low. And the shot change detection algorithm is improved by using Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm. The FCM clustering algorithm uses the shot change probabilities evaluated in the mask matching of reference ratios and difference measure values based on frame reference ratios.

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.

본 논문에서는 주어진 데이터의 입자화 특성을 효과적으로 모델 구축에 반영하고자 재구성 평가 기준을 통한 새로운 형태의 입자화 기반 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크를 개발한다. 주어진 데이터들의 입자화 특성을 파악하기 위해서 새로운 형태의 FCM 클러스터링(-Context-based fuzzy clustering)을 이용한다. 즉, 출력 공간의 입자화 특성은 K-means clustering 방법을 사용한 것에 반해, 입력 공간에서의 정보들은 Context-based fuzzy clustering 방법을 이용하여 효율적으로 데이터의 특성을 파악하여 모델의 구축에 반영하였으며, 또한 모델의 최적화를 위하여 RBF 뉴럴 네트워크의 은닉층의 수를 재구성 평가 기준을 통하여 모델의 최적화를 꾀하였다. 제안된 모델의 효율적인 특성을 보여주기 위해 저차원 합성 데이터를 이용하여 모델을 평가한다.

Polynomial networks have been known to have excellent properties as classifiers and universal approximators to the optimal Bayes classifier. In this paper, the use of polynomial neural networks is proposed for efficient implementation of the polynomial-based classifiers. The polynomial neural network is a trainable device consisting of some rules and three processes. The three processes are assumption, effect, and fuzzy inference. The assumption process is driven by fuzzy c-means and the effect processes deals with a polynomial function. A learning algorithm for the polynomial neural network is developed and its performance is compared with that of previous studies.

In this paper, we design the Multi-FNN(Fuzzy-Neural Networks) using HCM Method. The proposed Multi-FNN uses simplified inference as fuzzy inference method and Error Back Propagation Algorithm as learning rules. Also, We use HCM(Hard C-Means) method of clustering technique for improvement of output performance from pre-processing of input data. The parameters such as apexes of membership function, learning rates and momentum coefficients are adjusted using genetic algorithms. We use the training and testing data set to obtain a balance between the approximation and the generalization of our model. Several numerical examples are used to evaluate the performance of the our model. From the results, we can obtain higher accuracy and feasibility than any other works presented previously.

A plasma is a collection of charged particles and on average is electrically neutral. In fabricating integrated circuits, plasma etching is a key means to transfer a photoresist pattern into an underlayer material. To construct a predictive model of plasma-etching processes, a polynomial neural network (PNN) is applied. This process was characterized by a full factorial experiment, and two attributes modeled are its etch rate and DC bias. According to the number of input variables and type of polynomials to each node, the prediction performance of the PNN was optimized. The various performances of the PNN in diverse environments were compared to three types of statistical regression models and the adaptive network fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). As the demonstrated high-prediction ability in the simulation results shows, the PNN is efficient and much more accurate from the point of view of approximation and prediction abilities.
