Validation of a quantifier-based fuzzy classification system for breast cancer patients on external independent cohorts (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Soria, D., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2016). Validation of a quantifier-based fuzzy classification system for breast cancer patients on external independent cohorts.

Recent studies in breast cancer domains have identified seven distinct clinical phenotypes (groups) using immunohistochemical analysis and a variety of unsupervised learning techniques. Consensus among the clustering algorithms has been used to categ...

A similarity-based inference engine for non-singleton fuzzy logic systems (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Wagner, C., Pourabdollah, A., McCulloch, J., John, R., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2016). A similarity-based inference engine for non-singleton fuzzy logic systems. In 2016 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE) (316-323). https://doi.org/10.1109/FUZZ-IEEE.2016.7737703

In non-singleton fuzzy logic systems (NSFLSs) input uncertainties are modelled with input fuzzy sets in order to capture input uncertainty such as sensor noise. The performance of NSFLSs in handling such uncertainties depends both on the actual input... Read More about A similarity-based inference engine for non-singleton fuzzy logic systems.

A comparative study on the control of Quadcopter UAVs by using singleton and non-singleton fuzzy logic controllers (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Fu, C., Sarabakha, A., Kayacan, E., Wagner, C., John, R., & Garibaldi, J. M. (in press). A comparative study on the control of Quadcopter UAVs by using singleton and non-singleton fuzzy logic controllers.

Fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) have extensively been used for the autonomous control and guidance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to their capability of handling uncertainties and delivering adequate control without the need for a precise, mat...

On Using Genetic Algorithm for Initialising Semi-supervised Fuzzy c-Means Clustering (2016)
Journal Article
Lai, D. T. C., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2017). On Using Genetic Algorithm for Initialising Semi-supervised Fuzzy c-Means Clustering. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 532, 3-14. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48517-1_1

In a previous work, suitable initialisation techniques were incorporated with semi-supervised Fuzzy c-Means clustering (ssFCM) to improve clustering results on a trial and error basis. In this work, we present a single fully-automatic version of an e... Read More about On Using Genetic Algorithm for Initialising Semi-supervised Fuzzy c-Means Clustering.

Modelling cyber-security experts' decision making processes using aggregation operators (2016)
Journal Article

An extended ANFIS architecture and its learning properties for type-1 and interval type-2 models (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Chen, C., John, R., Twycross, J., & Garibaldi, J. M. (2016). An extended ANFIS architecture and its learning properties for type-1 and interval type-2 models.

In this paper, an extended ANFIS architecture is proposed. By incorporating an extra layer for the fuzzification process, the extended architecture is able to fit both type-1 and interval type-2 models. The learning properties of the proposed archite...

An exploration of issues and limitations in current methods of TOPSIS and fuzzy TOPSIS (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Madi, E., Garibaldi, J. M., & Wagner, C. (2016). An exploration of issues and limitations in current methods of TOPSIS and fuzzy TOPSIS.

Decision making is an important process for organizations. Common practice involves evaluation of prioritized alternatives based on a given set of criteria. These criteria conflict with each other and commonly no solution can satisfy all criteria sim...
