Diagnosis of the industrial systems by fuzzy classification.

The aim of this paper is to present a classifier based on a fuzzy inference system. For this classifier, we propose a parametrization method which is not necessarily based on an iterative training. This approach can be seen as a pre-parametrization which allows the determination of the rules base and the parameters of the membership functions. We also present a continuous and derivable version of the previous classifier and suggest an iterative learning algorithm based on a gradient method. An example using the learning basis IRIS, which is a benchmark for classification problems, is presented showing the performances of this classifier. Finally this classifier is applied to the diagnosis of a dc motor showing the effectiveness of this method.
