Python package

simpful

A Python library for fuzzy logic reasoning, designed to provide a simple and lightweight API, as close as possible to natural language. Simpful supports Mamdani and Sugeno reasoning of any order, parsing any complex fuzzy rules involving AND, OR, and NOT operators, using arbitrarily shaped fuzzy sets.

Installation

pip install simpful

Citing Simpful

If you find Simpful useful for your research, please cite our work as follows:

Spolaor S., Fuchs C., Cazzaniga P., Kaymak U., Besozzi D., Nobile M.S.: Simpful: a user-friendly Python library for fuzzy logic, International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 13(1):1687–1698, 2020 DOI:10.2991/ijcis.d.201012.002

Usage example 1: tipping with Sugeno

This example shows how to specify the information about the linguistic variables, fuzzy sets, fuzzy rules, and input values to Simpful. The last line of code prints the result of the fuzzy reasoning.

import simpful as sf

# A simple fuzzy model describing how the heating power of a gas burner depends on the oxygen supply.

FS = sf.FuzzySystem()

# Define a linguistic variable.
S_1 = sf.FuzzySet( points=[[0, 1.],  [1., 1.],  [1.5, 0]],          term="low_flow" )
S_2 = sf.FuzzySet( points=[[0.5, 0], [1.5, 1.], [2.5, 1], [3., 0]], term="medium_flow" )
S_3 = sf.FuzzySet( points=[[2., 0],  [2.5, 1.], [3., 1.]],          term="high_flow" )
FS.add_linguistic_variable("OXI", sf.LinguisticVariable( [S_1, S_2, S_3] ))

# Define consequents.
FS.set_crisp_output_value("LOW_POWER", 0)
FS.set_crisp_output_value("MEDIUM_POWER", 25)
FS.set_output_function("HIGH_FUN", "OXI**2")

# Define fuzzy rules.
RULE1 = "IF (OXI IS low_flow) THEN (POWER IS LOW_POWER)"
RULE2 = "IF (OXI IS medium_flow) THEN (POWER IS MEDIUM_POWER)"
RULE3 = "IF (NOT (OXI IS low_flow)) THEN (POWER IS HIGH_FUN)"
FS.add_rules([RULE1, RULE2, RULE3])

# Set antecedents values, perform Sugeno inference and print output values.
FS.set_variable("OXI", .51)
print (FS.Sugeno_inference(['POWER']))

Usage example 2: tipping with Mamdani

This second example shows how to model a FIS using Mamdani inference. It also shows some facilities that make modeling more concise and clear: automatic Triangles (i.e., pre-baked linguistic variables with equally spaced triangular fuzzy sets) and the automatic detection of the inference method.

from simpful import *

FS = FuzzySystem()

TLV = AutoTriangle(3, terms=['poor', 'average', 'good'], universe_of_discourse=[0,10])
FS.add_linguistic_variable("service", TLV)
FS.add_linguistic_variable("quality", TLV)

O1 = TriangleFuzzySet(0,0,13,   term="low")
O2 = TriangleFuzzySet(0,13,25,  term="medium")
O3 = TriangleFuzzySet(13,25,25, term="high")
FS.add_linguistic_variable("tip", LinguisticVariable([O1, O2, O3], universe_of_discourse=[0,25]))

FS.add_rules([
	"IF (quality IS poor) OR (service IS poor) THEN (tip IS low)",
	"IF (service IS average) THEN (tip IS medium)",
	"IF (quality IS good) OR (quality IS good) THEN (tip IS high)"
	])

FS.set_variable("quality", 6.5) 
FS.set_variable("service", 9.8) 

tip = FS.inference()
