Title: The Universal Quintuple Implicational Algorithm of Fuzzy Inference
Abstract:
Fuzzy inference plays a
significant role in fuzzy control, artificial intelligence, affective
computing, image processing, complex system and so on. The triple I algorithm is
one of the most reasonable fuzzy inference methods, which has been highly
recognized at home and abroad. On the basis of triple I algorithm with fully
implicational inference idea, three identical implication operators were
evolved into different implication operators. Then the triple I algorithm is
generalized to the universal triple I (UTI) algorithm. Later, the triple I
algorithm was generalized to the quintuple implication principle (QIP)
algorithm. Whether the QIP algorithm and the compositional rule of inference (CRI)
algorithm can be unified has become an interesting question. Therefore, a fuzzy inference
scheme referred to as the universal quintuple implicational (UQI) algorithm is
proposed as a generalization of CRI, UTI and QIP. In short, this report
introduces current research achievements in the UQI algorithm.
