Call for Papers FUZZ-IEEE Special Session "Fuzzy Interpolation"

Fuzzy interpolation provides a flexible means to perform reasoning in the presence of insufficient knowledge that is represented as sparse fuzzy rule bases. It enables approximate inferences to be carried out from a rule base that does not cover a given observation. Fuzzy interpolation also provides a way to simplify complex systems models and/or the process of fuzzy rule generation. It allows the reduction of the number of rules needed, thereby speeding up parameter optimisation and runtime efficiency.

Objectives and Topics:

The aim of this special session is to provide a forum:
  • To disseminate and discuss recent and significant research efforts in the development of fuzzy interpolation and related techniques,
  • To promote both theoretical and practical applications of fuzzy interpolation, and
  • To foster integration of fuzzy interpolation with other computational intelligence techniques.

The topics of this special session will include but are not limited to:
  • Fuzzy interpolation
  • Fuzzy extrapolation
  • Fuzzy interpolative learning
  • Fuzzy systems simplification
  • Fuzzy set transformation
  • Fuzzy set representation
  • Fuzzy interpolation application
  • Fuzzy function approximation
  • Hybrid fuzzy interpolation Systems
  • Comparative studies of interpolation methods

Short biography of the organizer(s) and contact information:

All four proposers have organised at least one special session on fuzzy interpolation at a previous FUZZ-IEEE.
