Fuzzy structures such as fuzzy automata, fuzzy transition systems, weighted social networks and fuzzy interpretations in fuzzy description logics have been widely studied. For such structures, bisimulation is a natural notion for…
Fuzzy clustering methods allow the objects to belong to several clusters simultaneously, with different degrees of membership. However, a factor that influences the performance of fuzzy algorithms is the value of fuzzifier parameter. In…
The combination of higher-order theories and fuzzy logic can be useful in decision-making tasks that involve reasoning across abstract functions and predicates, where exact matches are often rare or unnecessary. Developing efficient…
Fuzzy systems are a way to allow machines, systems and frameworks to deal with uncertainty, which is not possible in binary systems that most computers use. These systems have already been deployed for certain use cases, and fuzzy systems…
Online damage quantification suffers from insufficient labeled data that weakens its accuracy. In this context, adopting the domain adaptation on historical labeled data from similar structures/damages or simulated digital twin data to…
A similarity join aims to find all similar pairs between two collections of records. Established approaches usually deal with synthetic differences like typos and abbreviations, but neglect the semantic relations between words. Such…
Similarity join--a widely used operation in data science--finds all pairs of items that have distance smaller than a threshold. Prior work has explored distributed computation methods to scale similarity join to large data volumes but these…
Fuzzing has proven to be a fundamental technique to automated software testing but also a costly one. With the increased adoption of CI/CD practices in software development, a natural question to ask is `What are the best ways to integrate…
The current hardware landscape and application scale is driving performance engineers towards writing bespoke optimizations. Verifying such optimizations, and generating minimal failing cases, is important for robustness in the face of…
Time series clustering is essential in scientific applications, yet methods for functional time series, collections of infinite-dimensional curves treated as random elements in a Hilbert space, remain underdeveloped. This work presents…
With the membership function being strictly positive, the conventional fuzzy c-means clustering method sometimes causes imbalanced influence when clusters of vastly different sizes exist. That is, an outstandingly large cluster drags to its…
Classification is an important task in many fields including biomedical research and machine learning. Traditionally, a classification rule is constructed based a bunch of labeled data. Recently, due to technological innovation and…
One of the significant objectives of software engineering community is to use effective and useful models for precise calculation of effort in software cost estimation. The existing techniques cannot handle the dataset having categorical…
It is well known over the recent years that measuring the success of projects under the umbrella of project management is inextricably linked with the associated cost, time, and quality. Most of the previous researches in the field assigned…
Data collected by multiple methods or from multiple sources is called multi-view data. To make full use of the multi-view data, multi-view learning plays an increasingly important role. Traditional multi-view learning methods rely on a…
This work tackles the problem of fuzzy joining of strings that naturally tokenize into meaningful substrings, e.g., full names. Tokenized-string joins have several established applications in the context of data integration and cleaning.…
The Join Order Benchmark (JOB) has become the de facto standard to assess the performance of relational database query optimizers due to its complexity and completeness. In order to compute the optimal execution plan -- join order --…
The flock-guidance problem enjoys a challenging structure where multiple optimization objectives are solved simultaneously. This usually necessitates different control approaches to tackle various objectives, such as guidance, collision…
Federated learning (FL) has emerged as an effective technique to co-training machine learning models without actually sharing data and leaking privacy. However, most existing FL methods focus on the supervised setting and ignore the…
Reasoning with fuzzy sets can be achieved through measures such as similarity and distance. However, these measures can often give misleading results when considered independently, for example giving the same value for two different pairs…
