Reasoning of the student’s performance based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system

This research project introduces a systematic approach for the design of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) based on a class of neural networks to assess the students’ performance. Fuzzy systems have reached a recognized success in several applications to solve diverse class of problems. Currently, the...
