Abstract

Classification of the patterns is a crucial structure of research and applications. Using fuzzy set theory, classifying the patterns has become of great interest because of its ability to understand the parameters. One of the problems observed in the fuzzification of an unknown pattern is that importance is given only to the known patterns but not to their features. In contrast, features of the patterns play an essential role when their respective patterns overlap. In this paper, an optimal fuzzy nearest neighbor model has been introduced in which a fuzzification process has been carried out for the unknown pattern using k nearest neighbor. With the help of the fuzzification process, the membership matrix has been formed. In this membership matrix, fuzzification has been carried out of the features of the unknown pattern. Classification results are verified on a completely llabelled Telugu vowel data set, and the accuracy is compared with the different models and the fuzzy k nearest neighbor algorithm. The proposed model gives 84.86% accuracy on 50% training data set and 89.35% accuracy on 80% training data set. The proposed classifier learns well enough with a small amount of training data, resulting in an efficient and faster approach.
