Self-organizing fuzzy inference ensemble system for big streaming data classification

Autonomous learning for fuzzy systems: a review

As one of the three pillars in computational intelligence, fuzzy systems are a powerful mathematical tool widely used for modelling nonlinear problems with uncertainties. Fuzzy systems take the form of linguistic IF-THEN fuzzy rules that are easy to understand for human. In this sense, fuzzy inference mechanisms have been developed to mimic human reasoning and decision-making. From a data analytic perspective, fuzzy systems provide an effective solution to build precise predictive models from imprecise data with great transparency and interpretability, thus facilitating a wide range of real-world applications. This paper presents a systematic review of modern methods for autonomously learning fuzzy systems from data, with an emphasis on the structure and parameter learning schemes of mainstream evolving, evolutionary, reinforcement learning-based fuzzy systems. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the underlying concepts, underpinning methodologies, as well as outstanding performances of the state-of-the-art methods. It serves as a one-stop guide for readers learning the representative methodologies and foundations of fuzzy systems or who desire to apply fuzzy-based autonomous learning in other scientific disciplines and applied fields.

Research on complex attribute big data classification based on iterative fuzzy clustering algorithm

In order to overcome the low classification accuracy of traditional methods, this paper proposes a new classification method of complex attribute big data based on iterative fuzzy clustering algorithm. Firstly, principal component analysis and kernel local Fisher discriminant analysis were used to reduce dimensionality of complex attribute big data. Then, the Bloom Filter data structure is introduced to eliminate the redundancy of the complex attribute big data after dimensionality reduction. Secondly, the redundant complex attribute big data is classified in parallel by iterative fuzzy clustering algorithm, so as to complete the complex attribute big data classification. Finally, the simulation results show that the accuracy, the normalized mutual information index and the Richter’s index of the proposed method are close to 1, the classification accuracy is high, and the RDV value is low, which indicates that the proposed method has high classification effectiveness and fast convergence speed.
