Abstract
Computational Intelligence (CI) relies on and combines several algorithms in fuzzy systems, neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, fractals, chaos theory, artificial immune systems, wavelets, etc., to produce an algorithm that is intelligent somehow. CI has been utilized in many applications for several years. One of the areas that CI has an impact on is the area of biomedical engineering, e.g., medical image processing, medical signal processing and biometrics. One of the CI tools used in those mentioned application is classification or sometimes called decision making. The major area in the classification is to develop a classifier, including, feature generation and selection. The fuzzy set theory is one of the main parts in CI that has been utilized in generating features and developing a classifier. In this talk, feature generation methods and classifier methods based on the fuzzy set theory will be presented. We also show those methods on real application, including, medical image diagnosis, medical signal diagnosis, and biometrics.
