Rule mining algorithms are one of the fundamental techniques in data mining for disclosing significant patterns in terms of linguistic rules expressed in natural language. In this paper, we revisit the concept of fuzzy implicative rule to…
At the rapid pace of technological evolution, the emerging cloud computing technology has promoted the digitalization and business innovation of the enterprise in all industries due to its advantages of data storage and service mode.…
The feature selection in a traditional binary classification algorithm is always used in the stage of dataset preprocessing, which makes the obtained features not necessarily the best ones for the classification algorithm, thus affecting…
In many cases, recommendations are consumed by groups of users rather than individuals. In this paper, we present a system which recommends social events to groups. The system helps groups to organize a joint activity and collectively…
A closed-loop control model to analyze the impact of recommendation systems on opinion dynamics within social networks is introduced. The core contribution is the development and formalization of model-free and model-based approaches to…
Collaborative filtering is one of the most used approaches for providing recommendations in various online environments. Even though collaborative recommendation methods have been widely utilized due to their simplicity and ease of use,…
Preference elicitation is the task of suggesting a highly preferred configuration to a decision maker. The preferences are typically learned by querying the user for choice feedback over pairs or sets of objects. In its constructive…
Pythagorean fuzzy sets provide stronger ability than intuitionistic fuzzy sets to model uncertainty information and knowledge, but little effort has been paid to conflict analysis of Pythagorean fuzzy information systems. In this paper, we…
Crisis management is a complex problem raised by the scientific community currently. Decision support systems are a suitable solution for such issues, they are indeed able to help emergency managers to prevent and to manage crisis in…
A method for aggregation of expert estimates in small groups is proposed. The method is based on combinatorial approach to decomposition of pair-wise comparison matrices and to processing of expert data. It also uses the basic principles of…
The survey methodological paper addresses a glance to a general decision support platform technology for modular systems (modular/composite alterantives/solutions) in various applied domains. The decision support platform consists of seven…
Supplier selection is a typical multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem and lots of uncertain information exist inevitably. To address this issue, a new method was proposed based on interval data fusion. Our method follows the…
A simplified description of Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Situation) is presented. We have adapted the TOPSIS description from existing Fuzzy theory literature and distilled the bare minimum concepts…
Purpose: This paper aims to propose an integration of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods in a multiattribute grey relational analysis (GRA) methodology in which the attribute weights are…
A model's interpretability is essential to many practical applications such as clinical decision support systems. In this paper, a novel interpretable machine learning method is presented, which can model the relationship between input…
Modern ways of communications, such as in a web services environment, also influences trust relationships between organisations. This concept of web-based (way towards semantic web services) trust is new and has as yet not been resolved. We…
In the future, competitive advantages will be given to organisations that can extract valuable information from massive data and make better decisions. In most cases, this data comes from multiple sources. Therefore, the challenge is to…
The learning of predictive models for data-driven decision support has been a prevalent topic in many fields. However, construction of models that would capture interactions among input variables is a challenging task. In this paper, we…
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as mathematical models evaluates the technical efficiency of Decision Making Units (DMU) having multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Researchers are interested in applying DEA models in Multi Attribute…
One of the most used approaches for providing recommendations in various online environments such as e-commerce is collaborative filtering. Although, this is a simple method for recommending items or services, accuracy and quality problems…
