	abstract = {An intelligent model of a Li-Ion battery for electrical vehicles is proposed that allows for a fast battery health evaluation without the need of removing the battery from the vehicle. The only data needed for performing the condition monitoring are logged performance records (currents and voltages) that are commonly available at Battery Management Systems. The model comprises a combination of differential equations and fuzzy rule-based systems, these last being embedded as non-linear blocks in the differential equations. Fuzzy rules are learnt from data with the help of metaheuristics and fine tuned with gradient descent algorithms. A TensorFlow{\texttrademark} implementation of the learning algorithm has been developed that takes advantage of the numerical processing capabilities of a massively parallel GPU and improves the learning speed by a high margin.},

Nonetheless, HPC clusters consume large amounts of energy, which combined with notably increasing electricity prices are having an important economical impact, forcing owners to reduce operation costs. In this work we propose a software, named EECluster, to reduce the high energy consumption of HPC clusters. EECluster works with both OGE/SGE and PBS/TORQUE resource management systems and automatically tunes its decision-making mechanism based on a machine learning approach. The quality of the obtained results using this software are evaluated by means of experiments made using actual workloads from the Scientific Modelling Cluster at Oviedo University and the academic-cluster used by the Oviedo University for teaching high performance computing subjects.},

	abstract = {Many different fuzzy aggregation operators have been successfully used to combine the outputs provided by the individual classifiers in a multiclassification system. However, up to our knowledge, the use of fuzzy combination methods composed of a fuzzy system is less extended. By using a fuzzy linguistic rule-based classification system as a combination method, the resulting classifier ensemble would show a hierarchical structure and the operation of the latter component would be transparent to the user. Moreover, for the specific case of fuzzy multiclassification systems, the new approach could also become a smart way to allow fuzzy classifiers to deal with high dimensional problems avoiding the curse of dimensionality. The present contribution establishes the first basis in this direction by introducing a genetic fuzzy system-based framework to build the fuzzy linguistic combination method for a bagging fuzzy multiclassification system.},

We will analyze the different preprocessing mechanisms of imbalanced datasets and will show the necessity of extending these for solving those problems where the data is both imprecise and im-balanced. In addition, we include a comprehensive description of a new algorithm, able to preprocess imprecise imbalanced datasets. Several real-world datasets are used to evaluate the proposal.},

In particular, we question the existence of a set of problems for which the use of fuzzy rules, in combination with genetic algorithms, produces more robust models, or classifiers that are inherently better than those arising from the Bayesian point of view. We will show that this set of problems actually exists, and comprises interval and fuzzy valued datasets, but it is not being exploited. Current genetic fuzzy classifiers deal with crisp classification problems, where the role of fuzzy sets is reduced to give a parametric definition of a set of discriminant functions, with a convenient linguistic interpretation. Provided that the customary use of fuzzy sets in statistics is vague data, we propose to test genetic fuzzy classifiers over imprecisely measured data and design experiments well suited to these problems. The same can be said about genetic fuzzy models: the use of a scalar fitness function assumes crisp data, where fuzzy models, a priori, do not have advantages over statistical regression.},

This simplification process increases the efficiency of the design process, improves the interpretability of the FRBCS obtained and its generalization capacity. Most of the feature selection algorithms provide a set of variables which are adequate for the induction process according to different quality measures. Nevertheless it can be useful for the induction process to determine not only a set of variables but also different set of variables. These sets of variables can be used for the design of a set of FRBCSs which can be combined in a multiclassifler system, improving the prediction capacity increasing its description capacity. In this work, different proposals of niching genetic algorithms for the feature selection process are analyzed. The different sets of features provided by them are used in a multiclassifier system designed by means of a genetic proposal.

	abstract = {Algorithms for preprocessing databases with incomplete and imprecise data are seldom studied, partly because we lack numerical tools to quantify the interdependency between fuzzy random variables. In particular, many filter-type feature selection algorithms rely on crisp discretizations for estimating the mutual information between continuous variables, effectively preventing the use of vague data. Fuzzy rule based systems pass continuous input variables, in turn, through their own fuzzification interface. In the context of feature selection, should we rank the relevance of the inputs by means of their mutual information, it might happen that an apparently informative variable is useless after having been codified as a fuzzy subset of our catalog of linguistic terms. In this paper we propose to address both problems by estimating the mutual information with the same set of fuzzy partitions that will be used to codify the antecedents of the fuzzy rules. That is to say, we introduce a numerical algorithm for estimating the mutual information between two fuzzified continuous variables. This algorithm can be included in certain feature selection algorithms, and can also be used to obtain the most informative fuzzy partition for the data. The use of our definition will be exemplified with the help of some benchmark problems.},

Therefore, it is typical for data acquired from questionnaires that each of the inputs and outputs are not numbers, but sets of values. In this paper, we represent the information contained in such a set of values by means of a fuzzy number. A fuzzy statistics-based interpretation of the semantic of a fuzzy set is used for this purpose, as we consider that this fuzzy number is a nested family of confidence intervals for the value of the variable. The accuracy of the model is expressed by means of an interval-valued function, derived from a definition of the variance of a fuzzy random variable. A multicriteria genetic learning algorithm, able to optimize this interval-valued function, is proposed.

Models based on interval GA-P can devise an interval model from examples and provide the algebraic expression that best approximates the data.
