For many knowledge-intensive applications, it is important to develop an environment that permits flexible modeling and fuzzy querying of complex data and knowledge including uncertainty. With such an environment, one can have intelligent retrieval of information and knowledge, which has become a critical requirement for those applications. In this paper, we introduce a fuzzy knowledge-based (FKB) system along with the model and the inference mechanism. The inference mechanism is based on the extension of the Rete algorithm to handle fuzziness using a similarity-based approach. The proposed FKB system is used in the intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database (IFOOD) environment, in which a fuzzy object-oriented database is used to handle large scale of complex data while the FKB system is used to handle knowledge of the application domain. Both the fuzzy object-oriented database system and the fuzzy knowledge-based system are based on the object-oriented concepts to eliminate data type mismatches. The aim of this paper is mainly to introduce the FKB system of the IFOOD environment.

FOOD Index: A Multidimensional Index Structure for Similarity-Based Fuzzy Object Oriented Database Models Yazıcı, Adnan; KOYUNCU, Murat (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-08-01) A fuzzy object-oriented data model is a fuzzy logic-based extension to an object-oriented database model that permits uncertain data to be explicitly represented. The fuzzy object-oriented database (FOOD) model is one of the proposed models in the literature to handle uncertainty in object-oriented databases. Several kinds of fuzziness are dealt with in the FOOD model, including fuzziness at attribute level and between object and class and between class and superclass relations. The traditional index struct...
Introduction to the Special Issue on Fuzzy Analytics and Stochastic Methods in Neurosciences Kropat, E.; Turkay, M.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-01) The papers in this special section examine the use of fuzzy analytics and stochastic methods in the field of neuroscience. Recent theoretical and technological advancements provide new and deeper insights into the fundamental mechanisms of information processing in the neural system. This important process is accompanied by the tremendous rise of experimental data, which are waiting for further exploration. Modern methodologies and tools from neuroimaging, brain imaging, optogenetic devices, and in vitro an...
Estimation in bivariate nonnormal distributions with stochastic variance functions Tiku, Moti L.; İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; SAZAK, HAKAN SAVAŞ (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) Data sets in numerous areas of application can be modelled by symmetric bivariate nonnormal distributions. Estimation of parameters in such situations is considered when the mean and variance of one variable is a linear and a positive function of the other variable. This is typically true of bivariate t distribution. The resulting estimators are found to be remarkably efficient. Hypothesis testing procedures are developed and shown to be robust and powerful. Real life examples are given.
AN EFFICIENT DATABASE TRANSITIVE CLOSURE ALGORITHM Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; HENSCHEN, L (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-05-01) The integration of logic rules and relational databases has recently emerged as an important technique for developing knowledge management systems. An important class of logic rules utilized by these systems is the so-called transitive closure rules, the processing of which requires the computation of the transitive closure of database relations referenced by these rules. This article presents a new algorithm suitable for computing the transitive closure of very large database relations. This algorithm proc...
Verification and transformation of complex and uncertain conceptual schemas Yazıcı, Adnan (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 1997-12-01) In database environment it is necessary to represent complex and uncertain information at conceptual level and then transform the conceptual schema into the logical one for ultimate implementation. It is also important to verify the conceptual schema with respect to the constraints imposed on the schema definition. In this paper we primarily focus on the verification and transformation of the conceptual schema For the purpose of verification of the conceptual schema represented by the ExIFO data model (the ...
