We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…
Prediction sets offer a binary inclusion/exclusion for each element at the same fixed confidence level. We generalize to fuzzy prediction sets, which exclude elements at their own data-driven confidence level. Our key insight is that a…
A new fuzzy method is developed using triangular/trapezoidal fuzzy numbers for evaluating a group's mean performance, when qualitative grades instead of numerical scores are used for assessing its members' individual performance. Also, a…
The nature of an atom in a bonded structure -- such as in molecules, in nanoparticles or solids, at surfaces or interfaces -- depends on its local atomic environment. In atomic-scale modeling and simulation, identifying groups of atoms with…
In this paper we study the best approximation of a fixed fuzzy-number-valued continuous function to a subset of fuzzy-number-valued continuous functions. We also introduce a method to measure the distance between a fuzzy-number-valued…
In this paper, We have introduced a new class of sequences of fuzzy numbers defined by using modulus function and generalized weighted mean over the class defined in \cite{OS}. We have proved that this class form a quasilinear complete…
Since categories are graphs with additional "structure", one should start from fuzzy graphs in order to define a theory of fuzzy categories. Thus is makes sense to introduce categories whose morphisms are associated with a plausibility…
We re-examine a practical aspect of combinatorial fuzzy problems of various types, including search, counting, optimization, and decision problems. We are focused only on those fuzzy problems that take series of fuzzy input objects and…
In this paper, we study the accuracy of values aggregated over classes predicted by a classification algorithm. The problem is that the resulting aggregates (e.g., sums of a variable) are known to be biased. The bias can be large even for…
We prove the Categorified Wrapping Number Conjecture for large classes of annular links, including alternating annular links and tangle closures exhibiting plumbed link phenomena. We do so by characterizing when a resolution is sufficient…
In some complicated datasets, due to the presence of noisy data points and outliers, cluster validity indices can give conflicting results in determining the optimal number of clusters. This paper presents a new validity index for…
The input of most clustering algorithms is a symmetric matrix quantifying similarity within data pairs. Such a matrix is here turned into a quadratic set function measuring cluster score or similarity within data subsets larger than pairs.…
The theoretical analysis of multi-class classification has proved that the existing multi-class classification methods can train a classifier with high classification accuracy on the test set, when the instances are precise in the training…
In this paper we are interested in a class of fuzzy numbers which is uniquely identified by their membership functions. The function space, denoted by $X_{h, p}$, will be constructed by combining a class of nonlinear mappings $h$…
In the paper we define the convergence of compact fuzzy sets as a convergence of alpha-cuts in the topology of compact subsets of a metric space. Furthermore we define typical convergences of fuzzy variables and show relations with…
We propose a framework for constructing and analyzing multiclass and multioutput classification metrics, i.e., involving multiple, possibly correlated multiclass labels. Our analysis reveals novel insights on the geometry of feasible…
Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) are considered a soft computing technique combining elements of fuzzy logic and recurrent neural networks. They found multiple application in such domains as modeling of system behavior, prediction of time…
Cluster analysis is widely used in the areas of machine learning and data mining. Fuzzy clustering is a particular method that considers that a data point can belong to more than one cluster. Fuzzy clustering helps obtain flexible clusters,…
This paper primarily presents two methods of ranking aggregated fuzzy numbers from intervals using the Interval Agreement Approach (IAA). The two proposed ranking methods within this study contain the combination and application of…
We address the problem of aggregating an ensemble of predictors with known loss bounds in a semi-supervised binary classification setting, to minimize prediction loss incurred on the unlabeled data. We find the minimax optimal predictions…
