ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
An education loan is designed to help students pay for university tuition fee, books,
and hostel. Generally education loan are granted based on only marks and this leads
to discrimination among students. The main objective of my work is to give
automated decision making system that eliminates discrimination using fuzzy logic
for education loan system. A fuzzy approach is exploited in our intelligent system,
that handles uncertainty and provides a precise decision just like human way of
reasoning.

INTRODUCTION (1/2)
Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases are two new research areas
that deal with the automatic extraction of useful patterns from large amounts of
data.
Data mining techniques are used in business and research and are becoming
more and more popular with time.
There are two issues related to data mining.
These issues are privacy violation and potential discrimination.

INTRODUCTION (2/2)
Discrimination is a very important issue when considering the legal and ethical
aspects of data mining.
It can be viewed as the act of illegally treating people on the basis of their
belonging to a specific group.
Data mining must not become a source of discrimination, since automated
decision systems learn from data mining models.

EXISTING SYSTEM (1/2)

In recent literatures, Sara Hajian et al(2013), T.Calders et al(2010) have proposed
the antidiscrimination techniques such as discrimination discovery and
discrimination prevention.
Discrimination discovery is the extraction of discriminatory situations and
practices hidden in a large amount of historical decision records.
Discrimination prevention is a transformation technique that identifies
discriminatory biases contained in the original data and removes it.

EXISTING SYSTEM-PITFALLS (2/2)

Antidiscrimination technique in the existing system do not include any
measure to evaluate how much discrimination has been removed and how
much information loss has been incurred.
This approach cannot guarantee that that the transformed data is discrimination
free.

PROPOSED SYSTEM (1/2)

The main focus of my work is to give automated decision making system for
education loan processing using the fuzzy inference system.
In Fuzzy inference system, the crisp input are converted into linguistic
variable using the membership function stored in the fuzzy knowledge base.
This is known as fuzzification.
Using the if-then type of rules convert fuzzy input to fuzzy output.
The fuzzy output converted back to a crisp output using the membership
functions, in the defuzzification step.

PROPOSED SYSTEM ADVANTAGES (2/2)

Discrimination is prevented without any data loss.
Clear decision can be made as the selection process is not based on the single
factor but the combination of them.
Automation leads to the reduction of time consumption.

USER MODULE
Input: Mark, income, graduate.
Output: Loan status
In this module user enter the complete information such as personnel details,
mark, income, graduation, qualification details etc., to apply loan.
Later the user can login to check the eligibility to apply for education loan.

FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEM

INPUT : Let C ={C1,C2,C3Cn} be set of all linguistic variables(Candidate Details)
OUTPUT : Crisp Output
STEPS:

Step 1: Initialize the linguistic variables and terms.

Step 2: Determine the degree of truth from the crisp inputs.
Step 3:Take the fuzzified inputs and apply them to the antecedents of the

fuzzy rules.

Step 4: If the fuzzy rule has multiple antecedents, the fuzzy operator AND or
obtain the truth value.

OR is used to

Step 5: Apply the truth value to the consequent triangular member function.
Step 6: Combine the membership functions of all rule consequents into a single fuzzy
Step 7: Defuzzify the fuzzy set into a crisp output.

MANAGER MODULE

Input : Login details of the manager.

Output: Loan status of all students obtained from FIS
In this module manager can view list of students who have applied for loan.
He also checks the complete details of a specific student and their loan status
gained from fuzzy inference system.
