AwarePen - Classification Probability and Fuzziness in a Context Aware Application

Abstract

Abstract. Fuzzy inference has been proven a candidate technology for context recognition systems. In comparison to probability theory, its advantage is its more natural mapping of phenomena of the real world as context. This paper reports on our experience with building and using monolithic fuzzy-based systems (a TSK-FIS) to recognize real-world events and to classify these events into several categories. It will also report on some drawbacks of this approach that we have found. To overcome these drawbacks a novel concept is proposed in this paper. The concept incorporates fuzzy-based approaches with probabilistic methods, and separates the monolithic fuzzy-based system into several modules. The core advantage of the concept lays in the separation of detection complexity into distinct modules, each of them using fuzzy-based inference for context classification. Separation of detection functionality is supported by an automatic process using transition probabilities between context classifiers to optimize detection quality for the resulting detection system. This way our approach incorporates the advantages of fuzzy-based and probabilistic systems. This paper will show results of experiments of an existing system using a monolithic FIS approach, and reports on advantages when using a modular approach.

Increased Robustness in Context Detection and Reasoning Using Uncertainty Measures: Concept and Application

“…1(b)). An examplary implementation of this architecture style are Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) [6]. Here, fuzziness from within the mapping FIS can be used to derive the uncertainty level.…”

Automatic environmental noise source classification model using fuzzy logic

“…In other words, it is not a clearly defined boundary. The fuzzy sets are an extension of the crisp set theory and as a result, fuzzy logic is nothing different than an extension of the Boolean logic (Berchtold, Riedel, Beigl, & Decker, 2008). Fuzzy set is defined mathematically by a membership function and a value.…”

Rule base Knowledge and Fuzzy Approach for Classification of Specific Crop and Acreage Estimation

“…Fuzzy classification approach have been successfully applied in remote sensing domain for Land use Land cover, Change Detection and Classification of Remotely sensed data [32]. The limitation between different occurrences and heterogeneity within a class means fuzzy .There are many uncertainty in mixed pixel, Each pixel has a membership values for m classes (from 0 to 1) [33].…”
