Title
Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Application for Diet Journaling
Abstract
AbstractIn this article, an improved system is constructed using interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FS) and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with non-singleton inputs. The primary purpose is to better model nutritional input uncertainty which is propagated through the Type-2 FLC. To this end, methods are proposed to (1) model nutrient uncertainty in food items, (2) extend the nutritional information of a food item using an IT2FS representation for each nutrient incorporating the uncertainty in the extension process, (3) accumulate uncertainties for IT2FS inputs using fuzzy arithmetic, and (4) build IT2FS antecedents for FLC rules based on dietary reference intakes (DRIs). These methods are then used to implement a web application for diet journaling that includes a client-side Type-2 non-singleton Interval Type-2 FLC. The produced application is then compared with the previous work and shown to be more suitable. This is the first known work on diet journaling that attempts to model uncertainty for all anticipated measurement error.
