Parameters optimization of ANFIS using quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm

In complex industrial processes (CIPs), due to technical and economic limitations, key performance indicators (KPIs), especially the chemical content-related KPIs, are often difficult to measure in real time, which hinders the propagation of advanced process control technologies. This paper presents a soft sensor-based online KPI inference scheme by a state transition algorithm (STA)-optimized adaptive pre-sparse neuro-fuzzy inference system model, called STA-APSNFIS. It introduces a pre-sparse neural network to the traditional adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model to establish an adaptive pre-sparse neuro-fuzzy inference system (APSNFIS) model to alleviate the adverse effects of data redundancy and noise interference in the detectable process monitoring data, which can effectively reduce the complexity of neuro-fuzzy inference system (NFIS) and speed up its convergence. Successively, to avoid being trapped at a local optimum, the STA-based optimization algorithm is adopted to replace the traditional gradient-based optimization approach to achieve an optimal APSNFIS model. Extensive validation and comparative experiments on nonlinear numeric simulation systems, benchmark Tenessee Eastman (TE) process and a real industrial bauxite flotation process demonstrated that the proposed STA-APSNFIS performed favorably against traditional ANFIS model as well as its variants, e.g., PSO-ANFIS, GA-ANFIS, and some other soft sensor-based KPI inference models.

Drop hammer impact experiments have been carried out to assess the dynamic plastic response of fully clamped circular and rectangular plates made of aluminum and steel subjected to hydrodynamic impact loading at various energy levels. Also, the effective parameters in forming process are proposed in non-dimensional forms for modeling and prediction of the central deflection of plates using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system in conjunction with genetic algorithm and singular value decomposition method. Genetic algorithm is used for optimal scheme of Gaussian membership function’s variables and multi-objective Pareto optimal design of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model. Also, the singular value decomposition method is applied to compute the linear parameters of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system method. The important conflicting objectives of developed adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, namely, training error and prediction error, are obtained by dividing date sets into two parts. Hence, various optimal choices of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model are provided which are non-dominated states from each other. Moreover, optimal Pareto front of such model leads to trade-off between the conflicting pair of considered objectives for two series of experiments. The results of this work indicate that multi-objective Pareto optimal design of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system predicts central deflection of plates with a good accuracy. In addition, the comparison between the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model and exiting one demonstrates superior performance of the present approach in simulating central deflection of plates.

This paper presents the possibility of using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System for Power Transformer Paper Condition Assessment. The dielectric characteristics, dissolved gasses, and furan of 108 running transformers is collected. The 2-furaldehyde (2FAL) data is transformed to Degree of Polymerization (DP), and then statistically analysed to get independent variables as the predictor for the transformer paper condition assessment. CO and CO2 are well known as one of the product of cellulose degradation, while interfacial tension, acidity, and color from the oil are statistically correlated with furan. ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) and Multiple Regression (MR) model is built based on the previous statistical analysis, and then the result is evaluated and compared, resulting in better accuracy of ANFIS model. Three different evaluation criteria MAE (Mean Absolute Error), MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error), and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) calculated from ANFIS prediction are lower than those from MR model, with the MAPE of ANFIS model is 15.38%.

In this paper, we compare and analyze the prediction performance of existing ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System) models. The ANFIS model is a fusion of neural networks with learning ability, adaptability, and computational ability, and a fuzzy system with human-like thinking ability and reasoning ability. In this paper, we analyze the prediction performance of ANFIS models using different input space partitioning methods. ANFIS 1 uses SC (Subtractive Clustering), a clustering method based on the density of data, to calculate the center of the cluster by calculating potential values inversely proportional to the distances of the different inputs. ANFIS 2 uses Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering, which is a clustering method based on degree of belonging to data, and classifies each data belonging to each cluster according to degree of affiliation. ANFIS 3 is a method of using Context based Fuzzy C-Means (CFCM) clustering, which is a clustering method considering characteristics of input and output space based on FCM clustering. It creates clusters for each context generated according to characteristics of output space, to classify the data. To evaluate these ANFIS models, we use short term electricity price forecasting data and Boston housing data. The prediction performance is based on the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) method. Experimental results show that the prediction performance of the ANFIS model is different depending on the characteristics of each data. Furthermore, we confirmed that the prediction performance of ANFIS model using CFCM clustering method is constant.

The present article aims to forecast streamflow by using artificial neural networks (ANNs), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and autoregressive moving average (ARMA). For this purpose, the daily streamflow time series of two hydrometry stations of Hajighoshan and Tamar on Gorgan River are used for two periods of 1983–2007 and 1974–2007, respectively. Root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (R) statistics are employed to evaluate the performance of the ANNs, ANFIS, and ARMA models for forecasting streamflow (1 day ahead). Comparison of the results reveals that the ANFIS model outperforms the ARMA model. Based on the results of validation stage, for the forecasting 1 day ahead streamflow, ANN with RMSE = 0.028 m3/s and R = 0.59 for the Hajighoshan station and RMSE = 0.013 m3/s and R = 0.44 for the Tamar station were found to be superior to the ANFIS with RMSE = 1.98 m3/s and R = 0.42 for the Hajighoshan station and RMSE = 2.18 m3/s and R = 0.22 for the Tamar station. In addition, for 2 day and 3 day ahead streamflow forecasts, the ANN models show superiority in the accuracy of forecasting streamflow compared with the ANFIS models.

The energy and draft requirements of a disk plow have been recognized as essential factors when attempting to correctly match it with tractor power. This study examines the possible of using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) approach and its performance compared to a multiple linear regression (MLR) model to determine the energy and draft requirements of a disk plow. A total of 133 data patterns were obtained by conducting experiments in the field and from the literature. Of these 133 data points, 121 were arbitrarily selected and used for training, and the remaining 12 were used for testing the models. The input variables were plowing depth, plowing speed, soil texture index, initial soil moisture content, initial soil bulk density, disk diameter, disk angle, and disk tilt angle, and output variable was draft of the disk plow. Four membership functions were used with ANFIS: a triangular membership function, generalized bell-shaped membership function, trapezoidal membership function, and Gaussian curve membership function. An evaluation of the outcomes of the ANFIS and MLR modeling shows that the triangular membership function performed better than the other functions. When the ANFIS model draft predictions were compared to the measured values, the average relative error was –1.97%. A comparison of the ANFIS model with other approaches showed that the energy and draft requirements of the disk plow could be estimated with satisfactory accuracy.

In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic artificial intelligence (AI) method, named “ANFIS–PSOGA,” is developed for modeling the discharge coefficient of circular side orifices for the first time. For this purpose, the adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) network is optimized by means of two robust optimization algorithms: the genetic algorithm (GA) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Furthermore, the Monte Carlo simulations are utilized to enhance the performance of the AI hybrid model. Besides, the k-fold cross-validation method is employed in order to verify the numerical results. Initially, the performance of three fuzzy inference system (FIS) generations of the ANFIS model including grid partitioning, subtractive clustering and fuzzy C-means clustering are evaluated. After that, using the parameters affecting the discharge coefficient, eleven ANFIS models are defined and then the best ANFIS model and the most influencing input parameters are identified through the conduction of a sensitivity analysis. For the superior ANFIS model, mean absolute percentage error, root-mean-square error and the correlation coefficient (R) are obtained 0.021, 0.020 and 0.871, respectively. Also, the Froude number (Fr) is detected as the most effective input parameter. Moreover, the discharge coefficient of the circular side orifices and the flow field within main channels along the side orifices are simulated through the adoption of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Additionally, the flow field at three different cross sections (beginning, middle and end of orifice) along the side weir is evaluated. For instance, by advancing the flow toward the side orifice, the Froude number is reduced. Besides, at each cross section, the maximum shear stress is estimated to occur in the vicinity of the crest of the circular side orifice. According to the CFD results, the maximum lateral velocity is estimated near the circular side orifice. In addition, the results yielded by the ANFIS, ANFIS–PSO, ANFIS–PSOGA and CFD models are compared and an uncertainty analysis is carried out for the models. Based on the comparison, ANFIS–PSOGA has the best performance in simulating the discharge coefficient. Ultimately, a simple and practical computer code for the best model (ANFIS–PSOGA) is proposed which can be easily used by scholars and engineers in practical usages.

Recently, with rapid development in computer science and technology, artificial intelligent (AI) models that emulate human thinking ability and brain structure are increasingly used in hydrological forecasting context. Neuro-fuzzy (N-F) models or specifically adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) are rapidly becoming conventional in either academic or industrial applications. Although, there is a common network structure among ANFIS models, there is no one-fits-all ANFIS architecture for every case. Moreover, it is discussed that in many application, theory does not guide in model building process by either suggesting the relevant model input variables or correct functional form and model configuration. This paper is focused on the application of ANFIS in water resources context and reviews the common architecture of ANFIS models been used in this area of research. The aim is to familiarize the new researchers with ANFIS application process in water resources studies. Key words: Neuro-fuzzy modelling, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), hybrid learning algorithm, subtractive clustering.

River flow forecasting is an essential procedure that is necessary for proper reservoir operation. Accurate forecasting results in good control of water availability, refined operation of reservoirs and improved hydropower generation. Therefore, it becomes crucial to develop forecasting models for river inflow. Several approaches have been proposed over the past few years based on stochastic modeling or artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. In this article, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model is proposed to forecast the inflow for the Nile River at Aswan High Dam (AHD) on monthly basis. A major advantage of the fuzzy system is its ability to deal with imprecision and vagueness in inflow database. The ANFIS model divides the input space into fuzzy sub-spaces and maps the output using a set of linear functions. A historical database of monthly inflows at AHD recorded over the past 130 years is used to train the ANFIS model and test its performance. The performance of the ANFIS model is compared to a recently developed artificial neural networks (ANN) model. The results show that the ANFIS model was capable of providing higher inflow forecasting accuracy specially at extreme inflow events compared with that of the ANN model. It is concluded that the ANFIS model can be quite beneficial in water management of Lake Nasser reservoir at AHD.

Currently, manufacturing industries focus on intelligent manufacturing. Prediction and monitoring of tool wear are essential in any material removal process, and implementation of a tool condition monitoring system (TCMS) is necessary. This work presents the flank wear prediction during the hard turning of EN8 steel using the deep learning (DL) algorithm. The turning operation is conducted with three levels of selected parameters. CNMG 120408 grade, TiN‐coated cemented carbide tool is used for turning. Cutting force and flank wear are assessed under dry‐cutting conditions. DL algorithms such as adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and convolutional auto encoder (CAE) are used to predict the flank wear of the single‐point cutting tool. The DL model is developed with turning parameters and cutting force to predict flank wear. The different ANFIS and CAE models are employed to develop the prediction model. Grid‐based ANFIS structure with Gauss membership function performed better than ANFIS models. The ANFIS model’s average testing error of 0.0074011 mm and prediction accuracy of 99.81% are achieved.

Trihalomethanes (THMs), which is one of the major classes of DBP known to be highly cytotoxic and genotoxic, were formed and modeled under controlled conditions by laboratory-scale distribution network simulation test. The formation potentials of THM depending on the parameters such as natural organic matter, bromide, chlorine, pH, and contact time were determined. Subsequently, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model was developed using these parameters as inputs and THM formation potentials as output, and the correlation coefficient was 0.9817. In the range of the inputs, the ANFIS model representing the simulation test results were compared with THM formations of an actual distribution network system in dry and wet seasons. As a result, the predictions of the ANFIS model were little affected by the unidentified factors that were not used in model training but are known to affect THM formations in real waters and gave more consistent results than the EPA model.

Crocus sativus L. (Iridaceae), commonly known as saffron, is a highly valued medicinal plant often termed ‘red gold’ for its economic importance and vibrant flower colour. Among its bioactive constituents, safranal is notable for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. However, standardising its extraction remains challenging due to variable processing conditions. This study optimised safranal extraction using response surface methodology (RSM) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Initial screening showed that microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) provided the highest yield (0.950% in 30 min), while ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) achieved 0.808% in only 10 min. Extraction parameters including temperature, irradiation time, solvent concentration, particle size, solvent-to-solute ratio, pH, and extraction steps were systematically evaluated. Box-Behnken design (BBD) optimised conditions (60 °C, 10 min, 50% ethanol, 7.5 g/mL solid-to-solvent ratio) yielded a maximum of 0.605% safranal. Box-Behnken design (BBD) showing an excellent fit with the quadratic model (R 2 = 99.38%). The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model further refined these predictions. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) quantified the yield of safranal (0.605%) under optimised conditions. The ANFIS model with 81 fuzzy rules successfully modelled non-linear interactions. The HPTLC method was validated with a Limit of Detection (LOD) of 120 µg/spot and a Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) of 360 µg/spot. The results demonstrate a rapid, eco-friendly, and energy-efficient extraction process, which is a sustainable approach for safranal production to support its growing pharmaceutical and fragrance applications.
