Abstract

Neural networks are a tool that can be used for the modelling of many systems and process behavior. The artificial neural networks can “understand” the information from health care processes. For the estimations between these two concepts we use intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Here, for the learning process of the neural networks, we will use 60 heavy oils that have been characterized for their distillation characteristics by ASTM D-5236 and ASTM D-1160 in the Research laboratory of LUKOIL Neftochim Burgas. The aim is to recognize the type of crude oil based on six of their properties.
