G-TS-HRNN: Gaussian Takagi–Sugeno Hopfield Recurrent Neural Network by Omar Bahou, Mohammed Roudani, Karim El Moutaouakil

“…For each neuron, the G-TS-HRNN associates an input fuzzy variable of <i>d</i> values, described by an appropriate Gaussian membership function that covers the universe of discourse. To build an instance of G-TS-HRNN(s) of size <i>s</i>, we generate <i>s</i> n-uplets of fuzzy values that present the premise of the Takagi–Sugeno system. …”

An association rule-based approach for frequent item mining of multi-stage access data by Silong Wu

“…Only one database scan is required, and frequent itemsets are directly generated without generating candidate itemsets, greatly improving the efficiency of the algorithm; Introducing weights into the improved Apriori algorithm and designing a weighted support function, by assigning different weights to different itemsets, more accurately reflects the importance and differences of itemsets in practical applications, thereby improving the accuracy of frequent item mining. …”
