Se analiza el uso de redes neuro-difusas para solucionar problemas de clasificación y modelización. El objetivo es intentar combinar las cualidades de las redes neuronales y de la descripción de sistemas mediante Lógica Difusa. Las redes neuronales son conocidas por su alta capacidad de aprendizaje, lo que permite una adecuada generalización en el tipo de problemas comentado anteriormente. Su aplicación a problemas reales no ha dejado de crecer durante los últimos años. Por otro lado, la Lógica Difusa es una herramienta más novedosa, cuya propiedad más atractiva es la capacidad que posee de poder tratar con variables numéricas y variables lingüísticas simultáneamente. Las variables lingüísticas permiten un tratamiento del problema más comprensible y cercano al conocimiento intuitivo humano. Una de las principales ventajas de la combinación de estas disciplinas es la posibilidad de interpretar los resultados obtenidos por una red neuronal, pudiendo extraer conocimiento de ella. Clásicamente, las redes neuronales han sido conocidas como sistemas que podían proporcionar excelentes resultados pero que tenían el principal inconveniente de ser cajas negras, de donde era imposible obtener unas reglas de comportamiento debido a la complejidad de sus conexiones internas. De esta manera, la Lógica Difusa abre una puerta a esta posibilidad. (Complete work in Spanish) The use of Neuro-Fuzzy Networks is analysed for solving classification and modelisation problems. The objective is to combine the properties of Neural Networks with the systems' description by using Fuzzy Logic. The ability of learning of Neural Networks implies a good generalisation features. Their application to real problems has grown during the last years. On the other hand, Fuzzy Logic is a recent tool, whose most attractive property is the ability for working with numeric and linguistic variables simultanously. Linguistic variables allow the user to treat problems in a more understandable way since they are near to human knowledge. One of the main advantages of the proposed combination is the possibility of interpreting the results obtained by Neural Networks since we can extract information of Neural Networks by using Fuzzy Logic. This information will be estructured in fuzzy rules of the type "If-Then". Typically, Neural Networks have been known as systems capable to get excellent results but with the main drawback of their black-box behaviour. Thus, it was impossible to extract rules of their behaviour or learning because of the complex internal connections. Fuzzy Logic offers a feasible exit for this problem.

El libro muestra la capacidad de las redes neuronales y en concreto de los mapas auto-organizados de Teuvo Kohonen, los conocidos como Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) para clasificar consumidores eléctricos a partir de históricos de datos reales de consumo. El espectro de datos de entrada está formado por más de 20 tipos de consumidores distintos de una misma región geográfica. La red neuronal SOM ha demostrado ser una eficaz herramienta para segmentar y clasificar consumidores a partir de sus perfiles de carga diarios y ha permitido identificar nuevos consumidores, no utilizados antes para entrenar el mapa. Esta identificación posterior y la asignación automática a un segmento o clúster de clientes permiten asociar nuevos consumidores a patrones de consumo previamente clasificados. Este procedimiento permitiría a compañías comercializadoras y a clientes conocer a partir de los datos de consumo diario a qué cluster de consumidores pertenece y elegir tarifas específicas en función del patrón de consumo de este grupo.

The book is a summary of a time series forecasting competition that was held a number of years ago. It aims to provide a snapshot of the range of new techniques that are used to study time series, both as a reference for experts and as a guide for novices.

The papers are organized in topical sections on parallel and distributed computing; machine and deep learning; big data; web and mobile computing; visualization.. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Building accurate algorithms for the optimization of picking orders is a difficult task, especially when one considers the delays of real-world situations. In warehouse environments, diverse algorithms must be developed to enhance the global performance relating to combining customer orders into picking orders to reduce wait times. The Handbook of Research on Metaheuristics for Order Picking Optimization in Warehouses to Smart Cities is a pivotal reference source that addresses strategies for developing able algorithms in order to build better picking orders and the impact of these strategies on the picking systems in which diverse algorithms are implemented. While highlighting topics such ABC optimization, environmental intelligence, and order batching, this publication examines common picking aspects in warehouse environments ranging from manual order picking systems to automated retrieval systems. This book is intended for researchers, teachers, engineers, managers, and practitioners seeking research on algorithms to enhance the order picking performance.

Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models provides an appropriate methodology to detect and measure diseases and injuries relating to human kinematics and kinetics. It features mathematical models that, when applied to engineering principles and techniques in the medical field, can be used in assistive devices that work with bodily signals. The use of data in the kinematics and kinetics analysis of the human body, including musculoskeletal kinetics and joints and their relationship to the central nervous system (CNS) is covered, helping users understand how the complex network of symbiotic systems in the skeletal and muscular system work together to allow movement controlled by the CNS. With the use of appropriate electronic sensors at specific areas connected to bio-instruments, we can obtain enough information to create a mathematical model for assistive devices by analyzing the kinematics and kinetics of the human body. The mathematical models developed in this book can provide more effective devices for use in aiding and improving the function of the body in relation to a variety of injuries and diseases. Focuses on the mathematical modeling of human kinematics and kinetics Teaches users how to obtain faster results with these mathematical models Includes a companion website with additional content that presents MATLAB examples
