Abstract

A recognition system based on fuzzy set theory and approximate reasoning that is capable of handling various imprecise input patterns and providing a natural decision system is described. The input feature is considered to be of either quantitative form, linguistic form, mixed form, or set form. The entire feature space is decomposed into overlapping subdomains depending on the geometric structure and the relative position of the pattern classes found in the training samples. Uncertainty (ambiguity) in the input statement is managed by providing/modifying membership values to a great extent. A relational matrix corresponding to the subdomains and the pattern classes is used to recognize the samples. The system uses L.A. Zadeh's (1977) compositional rule of inference and gives a natural (linguistic) multivalued output decision associated with a confidence factor denoting the degree of certainty of a decision. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated for some artificially generated patterns and for real-life speech data.
