Fuzzy querying: issues and perspectives

Janusz Kacprzyk, Gabriella Pasi, Peter Vojtáš, Sławomir Zadrożny (2000)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The term query is widely used in the database as well as information retrieval communities. Basically, a query against a collection of information items (to be called later, for brevity, an information source) provides a formal description of the items of interest to the user posing this query. A source of information is meant here very generally. It may take the form of an archive of multimedia or textual documents, a database, or a knowledge base. In the three previous examples the...

Fuzzy sets in computer vision: an overview.

Pilar Sobrevilla, Eduard Montseny (2003)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

Every computer vision level crawl with uncertainty, what makes its management a significant problem to be considered and solved when trying for automated systems for scene analysis and interpretation. This is why fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic is making many inroads into the handling of uncertainty in various aspects of image processing and computer vision. The growth within the use of fuzzy set theory in computer vision is keeping pace with the use of more complex algorithms...

Evolutionary algorithms and fuzzy sets for discovering temporal rules

Stephen G. Matthews, Mario A. Gongora, Adrian A. Hopgood (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A novel method is presented for mining fuzzy association rules that have a temporal pattern. Our proposed method contributes towards discovering temporal patterns that could otherwise be lost from defining the membership functions before the mining process. The novelty of this research lies in exploring the composition of fuzzy and temporal association rules, and using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm combined with iterative rule learning to mine many rules. Temporal patterns...

On a fuzzy querying and data mining interface

Janusz Kacprzyk, Sławomir Zadrożny (2000)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In the paper an interface is proposed that combines flexible (fuzzy) querying and data mining functionality. The point of departure is the fuzzy querying interface designed and implemented previously by the present authors. It makes it possible to formulate and execute, against a traditional (crisp) database, queries containing imprecisely specified conditions. Here we discuss possibilities to extend it with some data mining features. More specifically, linguistic summarization of data...

Rule-based fuzzy object similarity.

Horst Bunke, Xavier Fábregas, Abraham Kandel (2001)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

A new similarity measure for objects that are represented by feature vectors of fixed dimension is introduced. It can simultaneously deal with numeric and symbolic features. Also, it can tolerate missing feature values. The similarity measure between two objects is described in terms of the similarity of their features. IF-THEN rules are being used to model the individual contribution of each feature to the global similarity measure between a pair of objects. The proposed similarity...

A methodology for developing knowledge-based systems.

Juan Luis Castro, José Jesús Castro-Sánchez, Antonio Espin, José Manuel Zurita (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This paper presents a methodology for developing fuzzy knowledge based systems (KBS), which permits a complete automatization. This methodology will be useful for approaching more complex problems that those in which machine learning from examples are successful.

Fuzzy approach for data association in image tracking.

Julio García, José Manuel Molina, Juan Alberto Besada, Javier I. Portillo (2003)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

A fuzzy system has been developed to ponder update decisions both for the trajectories and shapes estimated for targets. It is embedded in an A-SMGCS Surveillance function for airport surface, based on video data processing, in charge of the automatic detection, identification and tracking of all interesting targets (aircraft and relevant ground vehicles). The tracking system captures a sequence of images, preprocesses them to extract the moving regions (blobs), and associates the blobs...
