A New Complex Fuzzy Inference System With Fuzzy Knowledge Graph and Extensions in Decision Making

Abstract

Context and background: Complex fuzzy theory has a strong practical implication in many real-world applications. Complex Fuzzy Inference System (CFIS) is a powerful technique to overcome the challenges of uncertain, periodic data. However, a question is raised for CFIS: How can we deduce and predict the result in case there is little knowledge about data information and rule base? This is significance because many real applications do not have enough knowledge of rule base for inference so that the performance of systems may be low. Thus, it is necessary to have an approximate reasoning method to represent and derive final results. Motivation: Recently, the Mamdani Complex Fuzzy Inference System (M-CFIS) has been proposed with a specific inference mechanism according to the Mamdani type. A new improvement so-called the Mamdani Complex Fuzzy Inference System with Rule Reduction (M-CFIS-R) has been designed to utilize granular computing with complex similarity measures to reduce the rule base so as to gain better performance in decision-making problems. However in M-CFIS-R, testing data are checked by matching with each rule in the rule base, which leads to a high cost of computational time. Besides, if the testing data contain records that are not inferred by the rule base, the output cannot be generated. This happens in real commerce systems in which the rule base is small at the time of creation and needs to feed with new rules. Methodology: In order to handle those issues, this paper first time proposes the Fuzzy Knowledge Graph to represent the rule base in terms of linguistic labels and their relationships according to the rule set. An adjacent matrix of Fuzzy Knowledge Graph is generated for inference. When a record in the Testing dataset is given, it would be fuzzified and labelled. Each component in the record is checked with the Fuzzy Knowledge Graph by the inference mechanism in approximate reasoning called Fast Inference Search Algorithm. Then, we derive the label of the new record by the Max-Min operator. Besides, we also propose four extensions of

A Distributed Fuzzy Optimal Decision Making Strategy for Task Offloading in Edge Computing Environment

“…But in a realistic environment, with the popularity of the 5G technology, the number of offloading parameters may vary from 15-20, based on application, device and environment parameters [32]. As the number of offloading parameters increases, the size of rule-sets grows exponentially which leads to a complex fuzzy inference system (CFIS) [33]. For example, if the number of offloading parameters is 15, the rule-sets with 3 linguistic variables will consist of 3 15 = 1, 43, 48, 907 rules.…”

“…In a realistic environment, the number of offloading parameters may increase, depending on the type of application, device, and environment parameters [32]. As the number of offloading parameters increases, the size of rule-sets in fuzzy-based offloader grows exponentially which leads to a complex fuzzy inference system (CFIS) [33]. In CFIS-based off-loader, the decision-making time will be a bottleneck which will reduce the overall performance of the system and the inherent objective of offloading will not be met.…”

A novel interval type-2 fuzzy Kalman filtering and tracking of experimental data

“…Although recent studies have addressed the processing of uncertainties in the formulation of data analysis methodologies in different application domains such as engineering (Ma and Ma 2020), health (Heintzman and Kleinberg 2016), epidemiology (Gilbert et al 2014), economics (Khairalla et al 2018), among others, the research in this issue is still open. This has motivated the development of tools using fuzzy systems theory for data analysis (Hurtik et al 2020;Lan et al 2020;Pires and Serra 2020), mainly from the association of Kalman filters and type-2 fuzzy systems, which is the particular motivation of this paper in the sense of overcoming limitations of classic Kalman filtering to face high order nonlinearities, processing different types of uncertainties using interval fuzzy operation regions in non-stationary experimental dataset, and guaranteeing a set of possible solutions within a confidence region.…”
