It includes Matlab software, with a Neural Network Toolkit, and a Fuzzy System Toolkit.

Intelligence systems. We perfonn routine tasks on a daily basis, as for example: • recognition of faces of persons (also faces not seen for many years), • identification of dangerous situations during car driving, • deciding to buy or sell stock, • reading hand-written symbols, • discriminating between vines made from Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah or Merlot grapes, and others. Human experts carry out the following: • diagnosing diseases, • localizing faults in electronic circuits, • optimal moves in chess games. It is possible to design artificial systems to replace or "duplicate" the human expert. There are many possible definitions of intelligence systems. One of them is that: an intelligence system is a system able to make decisions that would be regarded as intelligent ifthey were observed in humans. Intelligence systems adapt themselves using some example situations (inputs of a system) and their correct decisions (system's output). The system after this learning phase can make decisions automatically for future situations. This system can also perfonn tasks difficult or impossible to do for humans, as for example: compression of signals and digital channel equalization.

This book contains introductory material to neuro-fuzzy systems. Its main purpose is to explain the information processing in mostly-used fuzzy inference systems, neural networks and neuro-fuzzy systems. More than 180 figures and a large number of (numerical) exercises (with solutions) have been inserted to explain the principles of fuzzy, neural and neuro-fuzzy systems. Also the mathematics applied in the models is carefully explained, and in many cases exact computational formulas have been derived for the rules in error correction learning procedures. Numerous models treated in the book will help the reader to design his own neuro-fuzzy system for his specific (managerial, industrial, financial) problem. The book can serve as a textbook for students in computer and management sciences who are interested in adaptive technologies.

Gain insight into fuzzy logic and neural networks, and how the integration between the two models makes intelligent systems in the current world. This book simplifies the implementation of fuzzy logic and neural network concepts using Python. You’ll start by walking through the basics of fuzzy sets and relations, and how each member of the set has its own membership function values. You’ll also look at different architectures and models that have been developed, and how rules and reasoning have been defined to make the architectures possible. The book then provides a closer look at neural networks and related architectures, focusing on the various issues neural networks may encounter during training, and how different optimization methods can help you resolve them. In the last section of the book you’ll examine the integrations of fuzzy logics and neural networks, the adaptive neuro fuzzy Inference systems, and various approximations related to the same. You’ll review different types of deep neuro fuzzy classifiers, fuzzy neurons, and the adaptive learning capability of the neural networks. The book concludes by reviewing advanced neuro fuzzy models and applications. What You’ll Learn Understand fuzzy logic, membership functions, fuzzy relations, and fuzzy inferenceReview neural networks, back propagation, and optimizationWork with different architectures such as Takagi-Sugeno model, Hybrid model, genetic algorithms, and approximations Apply Python implementations of deep neuro fuzzy system Who This book Is For Data scientists and software engineers with a basic understanding of Machine Learning who want to expand into the hybrid applications of deep learning and fuzzy logic.

Written by one of the foremost experts in the field of neural networks, this is the first book to combine the theories and applications or neural networks and fuzzy systems. The book is divided into three sections: Neural Network Theory, Neural Network Applications, and Fuzzy Theory and Applications. It describes how neural networks can be used in applications such as: signal and image processing, function estimation, robotics and control, analog VLSI and optical hardware design; and concludes with a presentation of the new geometric theory of fuzzy sets, systems, and associative memories.

A general neural-network-based connectionist model, called Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN), is proposed in this book for the realization of a fuzzy logic control and decision system. The FNN is a feedforward multi-layered network which integrates the basic elements and functions of a traditional fuzzy logic controller into a connectionist structure which has distributed learning abilities.In order to set up this proposed FNN, the author recommends two complementary structure/parameter learning algorithms: a two-phase hybrid learning algorithm and an on-line supervised structure/parameter learning algorithm.Both of these learning algorithms require exact supervised training data for learning. In some real-time applications, exact training data may be expensive or even impossible to get. To solve this reinforcement learning problem for real-world applications, a Reinforcement Fuzzy Neural Network (RFNN) is further proposed. Computer simulation examples are presented to illustrate the performance and applicability of the proposed FNN, RFNN and their associated learning algorithms for various applications.

Artificial neural networks can mimic the biological information-processing mechanism in - a very limited sense. Fuzzy logic provides a basis for representing uncertain and imprecise knowledge and forms a basis for human reasoning. Neural networks display genuine promise in solving problems, but a definitive theoretical basis does not yet exist for their design. Fusion of Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems and Genetic Algorithms integrates neural net, fuzzy system, and evolutionary computing in system design that enables its readers to handle complexity - offsetting the demerits of one paradigm by the merits of another. This book presents specific projects where fusion techniques have been applied. The chapters start with the design of a new fuzzy-neural controller. Remaining chapters discuss the application of expert systems, neural networks, fuzzy control, and evolutionary computing techniques in modern engineering systems. These specific applications include: direct frequency converters electro-hydraulic systems motor control toaster control speech recognition vehicle routing fault diagnosis Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communications networks telephones for hard-of-hearing people control of gas turbine aero-engines telecommunications systems design Fusion of Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems and Genetic Algorithms covers the spectrum of applications - comprehensively demonstrating the advantages of fusion techniques in industrial applications.

Foundations of Neuro-Fuzzy Systems reflects the current trend in intelligent systems research towards the integration of neural networks and fuzzy technology. The authors demonstrate how a combination of both techniques enhances the performance of control, decision-making and data analysis systems. Smarter and more applicable structures result from marrying the learning capability of the neural network with the transparency and interpretability of the rule-based fuzzy system. Foundations of Neuro-Fuzzy Systems highlights the advantages of integration making it a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in control engineering, computer science and applied mathematics. The authors' informed analysis of practical neuro-fuzzy applications will be an asset to industrial practitioners using fuzzy technology and neural networks for control systems, data analysis and optimization tasks.

Neural networks and fuzzy systems represent two distinct technologies that deal with uncertainty. This definitive book presents the fundamentals of both technologies, and demonstrates how to combine the unique capabilities of these two technologies for the greatest advantage. Steering clear of unnecessary mathematics, the book highlights a wide range of dynamic possibilities and offers numerous examples to illuminate key concepts. It also explores the value of relating genetic algorithms and expert systems to fuzzy and neural technologies.
