Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your valuable work to this Special Issue on “Applied Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic” to the MDPI journal Applied Sciences.

Neural networks and fuzzy logic are two powerful techniques in the field of artificial intelligence that have received great attention in science, academia and industry. These systems can be combined to create hybrid intelligent systems that take advantage of both approaches and are capable of handling complex real-world problems that are difficult to solve with traditional methods. Some common applications of neural networks and fuzzy logic include pattern recognition, image or video processing, forecasting, time-series processing, real-time decision systems, classification tasks, control systems, financial analysis, medical diagnosis and robotics.

The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute to the state-of-the-art and the latest studies on neural networks and fuzzy logic with theoretical, practical, and creative insights that provide vanguard solutions to challenging problems or that can demonstrate competitive performance.

Potential themes include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Neuro-fuzzy models.
  • Mathematical fuzzy logic models.
  • Hybrid intelligent systems.
  • Novel deep learning architectures.
  • Applied fuzzy logic.
  • Novel artificial neural network applications.
  • Optimization of neural network architectures.
  • Convolutional neural network theory and applications.
  • Machine learning models.

This paper presents a method to dynamically model Type-1 fuzzy inference systems using a Competitive Neural Network. The aim is to exploit the potential of Competitive Neural Networks and fuzzy logic systems to generate an intelligent hybrid model with the ability to group and classify any dataset. The approach uses the Competitive Neural Network to cluster the dataset and the fuzzy model to perform the classification. It is important to note that the fuzzy inference system is generated automatically from the classes and centroids obtained with the Competitive Neural Network, namely, all the parameters of the membership functions are adapted according to the values of the input data. In the approach, two fuzzy inference systems, Sugeno and Mamdani, are proposed. Additionally, variations of these models are presented using three types of membership functions, including Trapezoidal, Triangular, and Gaussian functions. The proposed models are applied to three classification datasets: Wine, Iris, and Wisconsin Breast Cancer (WDBC). The simulations and results present higher classification accuracy when implementing the Sugeno fuzzy inference system compared to the Mamdani system, and in both models (Mamdani and Sugeno), better results are obtained when the Gaussian membership function is used.
