title: Detection of nicotine content impact in tobacco manufacturing using computational intelligence.
abstract: A study is presented for the detection of nicotine impact in different cigarette type, using recorded data and Computational Intelligence techniques. Recorded puffs are processed using Continuous Wavelet Transform and used to extract time-frequency features for normal and abnormal puffs conditions. The wavelet energy distributions are used as inputs to classifiers based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The number and the parameters of Membership Functions are used in ANFIS along with the features from wavelet energy distributionare selected using GAs, maximising the diagnosis success. GA with ANFIS (GANFIS) are trained with a subset of data with known nicotine conditions. The trained GANFIS are tested using the other set of data (testing data). A classical method by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography is also introduced to solve this problem, respectively. The results as well as the performances of these two approaches are compared. A combination of these two algorithms is also suggested to improve the efficiency of this solution procedure. Computational results show that this combined algorithm is promising.
