We are sometimes interacting with people who we know nothing and facing with the difficult task of making decisions involving risk in social network. To reduce risk, the topic of building Web of trust is receiving considerable attention in social network. The easiest approach to build Web of trust will be to ask users to represent level of trust explicitly toward another users. However, there exists sparsity issue in Web of trust which is represented explicitly by users as well as it is difficult to urge users to express their level of trustworthiness. We propose a fuzzy-based inference model for Web of trust using user behavior information in social network. According to the experiment result which is applied in Epinions.com. the proposed model show improved connectivity in resulting Web of trust as well as reduced prediction error of trustworthiness compared to existing computational model.

오늘날의 산업용 로봇, CNC 공작기계 및 여러 산업설비들은 시스템간에 관계가 복잡하게 연결되어 높은 신뢰성(reliability)을 달성하여 왔다. 그러나 가동시 발생하는 결과의 고장 가능성은 적은 반면에, 고장 발생의 파급 효과는 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 복잡한 구조의 산업설비들에 대한 안전진단 결과들을 적절하게 분석하고 관리할 필요성이 크게 대두되고 있다. 이러한 안전진단 작업은 여러 가지 정량적ㆍ정성적인 방법들을 포함하는 전형적인 분석방법이 필요하다. 최근에는 고장탐색, 진단처리 작업 및 신뢰성 분석 작업에 지식기반(knowledge-based)을 기초로한 퍼지 전문가 시스템을 적용하고자 하는 시도가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 안전진단 분석에 관한 일반화된 지식은 이들 후속 단계들에서 상당히 효율적일 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 연구를 수행하기에는 지금까지 상대적으로 열악한 계산 도구들을 이용하였기 때문에 안전진단 분석을 행하기에는 한계가 있었다. 그러나 오늘날 컴퓨터를 이용하여 위의 여러 단계들의 수행과정에 안전진단 분석을 행할 수 있는 적절한 방법으로써, 지식-기반(knowledge-base) 전문가 시스템들을 이용하는 방법을 연구하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 시스템의 설계단계 뿐만 아니라, 시스템의 가동ㆍ유지ㆍ보수ㆍ수리시에도 비전문가가 고장안전진단을 수행할 수 있도록 하는데 목표를 두었다.

Bankruptcy prediction has been addressed by many researchers in the field of finance since few decades. One of the best approaches to deal with this issue is considering it as a classification problem. In this paper a time series prediction model of bankruptcy via Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is formulated, which is capable of predicting the bankruptcy of a firm for any future time. The data used in this study has been extracted from the past financial records of ongoing and failed enterprises. The extracted financial ratios are preprocessed by calculating Altman’s Z-score before feeding into Time series model. The Time series prediction is carried out using ANFIS to predict the bankruptcy at any given time which overcomes the limitation of Altman’s basic model of bankruptcy prediction. Fuzzy Logic Tool box of MATLAB has been exploited for simulations and evaluation of the model. Numerical illustration is provided to demonstrate the efficiency of proposed model.

To maximize the quality improvement and tangibility of emotion-based personalized services, a lot of efforts are put into researches on emotional expression languages, measurement of emotions, emotional transference and expression model, personalized emotional space model, emotion-based personalized services, and so forth. To maximize quality improvement and tangibility of emotion-based personalized services, research on emotional modeling for quantitative and structural expression of human emotions needs to precede the others. In addition, a high level of inference on human emotions as well as an emotional model with learning capabilities is necessary for personalized emotion modeling. To this end, this study defines the 12 emotional expression languages, which are defined in Thayer’s Valence-Arousal emotion model, with the fuzzy membership function. For emotional transference and inference modeling based on valence and arousal input, Mamdani and Sugeno Fuzzy Inference Methods are applied and evaluated. In this manner, this study provides the basis for an adaptive emotional inference system based on the personalized emotional model and neuro-fuzzy system required for personalized services.

This paper presents a fuzzy normal estimate for mass point clouds of irregular models in reconstruction. The irregular model is complex object that some part is smooth and some parts are irregular including sharp features. Therefore, we put kNN and curvature of mass point clouds to fuzzy inference system to divide the kind of point clouds and the output of FIS can determine which part of tooth point clouds belong to. For different kinds point clouds, corresponding algorithm is given. Point clouds in the smooth area are estimated normal by PCA directly and ones in other regions of thin or sharp area are estimated by checker and attach points. This method is simpler than those complex methods used on the whole point clouds directly. The experiment results show that much time is saved and surface reconstruction is very fine than PCA and WLOP.

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.

Several algorithmic models have been proposed to estimate software cost and other management parameters. In particular, early prediction of completion time is absolutely essential for proper advance planning and a version of the possible ruin of a project. However, estimation is difficult because of its similarity to export judgment approaches and for its potential as an expert assistant in support of human judgment. Especially, the nature of the Norden/Rayleigh curve used by Putnam, renders it unreliable during the initial phases of the project, in projects involving a fast manpower buildup, as is the case with most software projects. Estimating software development effort is more complexity, because of infrastructure software related to target-machines hardware and process characteristics should be considered in software development for DCS (Distributed Control System). In this paper, we propose software development effort estimation technique using adaptive neural fuzzy inference system. The methods is applied to case-based projects and discussed.

In this paper, we propose design a Multi-Fuzzy Inference model structure. In order to determine structure of the proposed Multi-Fuzzy Inference model, HCM clustering method is used. The parameters of membership function of the Multi-Fuzzy are identified by genetic algorithms. A aggregate performance index with a weighting factor is used to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization abilities of the model. We use simplified inference and linear inference as inference method of the proposed Multi-Fuzzy model and the standard least square method for estimating consequence parameters of the Multi-Fuzzy. Finally, we use some of numerical data to evaluate the proposed Multi-Fuzzy model and discuss about the usefulness.

In this paper, we provide the formal specification of a fuzzy object inference language and propose ICOT(Integrated C-Object Tool) as its implementation for knowledge-based programming with the disjunctive fuzzy information. The novelty of our model is that it seamlessly combines object inference and fuzzy reasoning into a unified framework without compromising a compatibility with extant databases, especially object-relational ones. In this model most of the object-oriented paradigm is successfully expressed in terms of relational constructs, tailoring fuzzy reasoning style to be well suited to the framework of the databases. It turns out to be useful in preserving its conceptual simplicity as well, since simple-to-use is one of important criteria in designing the databases. Additionally this model considerably enhanced the semantic expressiveness of data allowing disjunctive fuzzy information.

기존의 퍼지 규칙 기반 전문가 시스템 언어에는 크게 세 가지 단점들이 있다. 첫째, 복합 객체 추론 기능이 없으며, 둘째, 의미적으로 이해하기 쉽고 개념적으로 사용하기 용이한 퍼지 추론을 지원하지 못할 뿐 아니라, 세째, 지식 표현과 추론 방식이 기존의 데이터베이스 모텔과 구문이나 의미에서 현격 한 차이를 보이고 있기 때문에 서로 통합되기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이 세가지 단점들을 해결하기 위한 퍼지 객체 추론 모델의 정형화를 보이고, GIS 응용을 예로 들어 제시하는 모델이 데이타베이스내 GIS 복합 객체들을 자연스럽게 모델링하고, 이들 사이의 퍼지 추론을 성공적으로 수행함을 보인다.

There are three significant drawbacks in extant fuzzy rule-based expert system languages. First, they lack the functionality of composite object inference. Second, they do not support fuzzy reasoning semantically easy to understand and conceptually simple to use. Third, knowledge representation and reasoning style of their model have a great semantic gap with those of current database models. Therefore, it is very difficult for the two models to be seamlessly integrated with each other. This paper provides the formal specification of a fuzzy object inference model to solve the three drawbacks. GIS(Geographic Information System) application domain is used to demonstrate that our model naturally models complex GIS information in terms of composite objects and successfully performs fuzzy inference between them.

선박의 초기 설계 단계에서는 작업의 용이성과 설계자의 관습 둥으로 인해 선박모델은 통상 2차원 모델로서 표현된다. 하지만 제품의 상세 설계 단계로 넘어가면 부품의 가공정보 도출, 부품간의 간섭확인, 제품의 성능해석의 용이성 등의 이유로 인해 제품 정보는 3차원 디지털 모델로서 표현되어야 한다. 그러나 현재까지 이러한 과정은 설계자에 의해 수작업으로 진행되고 있고 이 과정에서 공기의 지연, 설계자에 의한 해석 및 입력 오류 둥 많은 문제점이 야기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해, Fuzzy 추론 기법을 이용한 2차원 선박 모델의 3차원 디지털 모델로의 자동 변환 기술을 검토한다.

A human sensibility ergonomics design supporting system was applied to the product development for the customer's satisfaction based on ergonomics technology. The system is composed of three major subsystems such as customer's sensibility analysis, inference mechanism, and presentation technology. The main approaches of the system are to analyze customer's sensibilities and to translate them into product design elements. The purpose of this paper is to develop a design supporting system in which the relationship between customer's sensibility and product design elements is reasoned by a MADM(Multi-Attribute Decision Making) fuzzy model. In this model, three variables such as multiple correlation coefficients, partial correlation coefficients, and category scores were used in reasoning process. The weighted value of the words were also considered in fuzzy decision process. As a case study, the design supporting system with the MADM fuzzy model was applied to the personnel computer design.
