Des explications pour reconnaître et exploiter les structures cachées d'un problème combinatoire

Hadrien Cambazard, Narendra Jussien (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

L'identification de structures propres à un problème est souvent une étape clef pour la conception d'heuristiques de recherche comme pour la compréhension de la complexité du problème. De nombreuses approches en Recherche Opérationnelle emploient des stratégies de relaxation ou de décomposition dès lors que certaines struc- tures idoines ont été identifiées. L'étape suivante est la conception d'algorithmes de résolution qui puissent intégrer à la volée, pendant la résolution, ce type d'information....

Design of a neuro-sliding mode controller for interconnected quadrotor UAVs carrying a suspended payload

Özhan Bingöl, Haci Mehmet Güzey (2023)

Kybernetika

In this study, a generalized system model is derived for interconnected quadrotor UAVs carrying a suspended payload. Moreover, a novel neural network-based sliding mode controller (NSMC) for the system is suggested. While the proposed controller uses the advantages of the robust structure of sliding mode controller (SMC) for the nonlinear system, the neural network component eliminates the chattering effects in the control signals of the SMC and increases the efficiency of the SMC against time-varying...

Design of a Participatory Decision Making Agent Architecture Based on Argumentation and Influence Function – Application to a Serious Game about Biodiversity Conservation

Alessandro Sordoni, Jean-Pierre Briot, Isabelle Alvarez, Eurico Vasconcelos, Marta de Azevedo Irving, Gustavo Melo (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

This paper addresses an ongoing experience in the design of an artificial agent taking decisions and combining them with the decisions taken by human agents. The context is a serious game research project, aimed at computer-based support for participatory management of protected areas (and more specifically national parks) in order to promote biodiversity conservation and social inclusion. Its objective is to help various stakeholders (e.g., environmentalist, tourism operator) to collectively understand...

Detecting a data set structure through the use of nonlinear projections search and optimization

Victor L. Brailovsky, Michael Har-Even (1998)

Kybernetika

Detecting a cluster structure is considered. This means solving either the problem of discovering a natural decomposition of data points into groups (clusters) or the problem of detecting clouds of data points of a specific form. In this paper both these problems are considered. To discover a cluster structure of a specific arrangement or a cloud of data of a specific form a class of nonlinear projections is introduced. Fitness functions that estimate to what extent a given subset of data points...

DFIS: A novel data filling approach for an incomplete soft set

Hongwu Qin, Xiuqin Ma, Tutut Herawan, Jasni Mohamad Zain (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The research on incomplete soft sets is an integral part of the research on soft sets and has been initiated recently. However, the existing approach for dealing with incomplete soft sets is only applicable to decision making and has low forecasting accuracy. In order to solve these problems, in this paper we propose a novel data filling approach for incomplete soft sets. The missing data are filled in terms of the association degree between the parameters when a stronger association exists between...

Direct adaptive control of unknown nonlinear systems using a new neuro-fuzzy method together with a novel approach of parameter hopping

Dimitris Theodoridis, Yiannis Boutalis, Manolis Christodoulou (2009)

Kybernetika

The direct adaptive regulation for affine in the control nonlinear dynamical systems possessing unknown nonlinearities, is considered in this paper. The method is based on a new Neuro-Fuzzy Dynamical System definition, which uses the concept of Fuzzy Dynamical Systems (FDS) operating in conjunction with High Order Neural Network Functions (F-HONNFs). Since the plant is considered unknown, we first propose its approximation by a special form of a fuzzy dynamical system (FDS) and in the sequel the...

Discrete-time symmetric polynomial equations with complex coefficients

Didier Henrion, Jan Ježek, Michael Šebek (2002)

Kybernetika

Discrete-time symmetric polynomial equations with complex coefficients are studied in the scalar and matrix case. New theoretical results are derived and several algorithms are proposed and evaluated. Polynomial reduction algorithms are first described to study theoretical properties of the equations. Sylvester matrix algorithms are then developed to solve numerically the equations. The algorithms are implemented in the Polynomial Toolbox for Matlab.

Discriminating between causal structures in Bayesian Networks given partial observations

Philipp Moritz, Jörg Reichardt, Nihat Ay (2014)

Kybernetika

Given a fixed dependency graph G that describes a Bayesian network of binary variables X 1 , ⋯ , X n , our main result is a tight bound on the mutual information I c ( Y 1 , ⋯ , Y k ) = ∑ j = 1 k H ( Y j ) / c - H ( Y 1 , ⋯ , Y k ) of an observed subset Y 1 , ⋯ , Y k of the variables X 1 , ⋯ , X n . Our bound depends on certain quantities that can be computed from the connective structure of the nodes in G . Thus it allows to discriminate between different dependency graphs for a probability distribution, as we show from numerical experiments.

Distributed fuzzy decision making for production scheduling.

Thomas A. Runkler, Rudolf Sollacher, Wendelin Reverey (2004)

Mathware and Soft Computing

In production systems, input materials (educts) pass through multiple sequential stages until they become a product. The production stages consist of different machines with various dynamic characteristics. The coupling of those machines is a non-linear distributed system. With a distributed control system based on a multi-agent approach, the production system can achieve (almost) maximum output, where lot size and lot sequence are the most important control variables. In most production processes...
