The fuzzy $K$-means problem is a popular generalization of the well-known $K$-means problem to soft clusterings. We present the first coresets for fuzzy $K$-means with size linear in the dimension, polynomial in the number of clusters, and…
This article is meant to give a lucid and widely accessible, self-contained account of a novel way of performing arithmetic operations on fuzzy intervals. Based on two formulae of generalized inversion (the first in close analogy to the…
Erickson defined the fusible numbers as a set $\mathcal F$ of reals generated by repeated application of the function $\frac{x+y+1}{2}$. Erickson, Nivasch, and Xu showed that $\mathcal F$ is well ordered, with order type $\varepsilon_0$.…
This article discusses a particular case of the data clustering problem, where it is necessary to find groups of adjacent text segments of the appropriate length that match a fuzzy pattern represented as a sequence of fuzzy properties. To…
The problem of minimizing fuzzy interpretations in fuzzy description logics (FDLs) is important both theoretically and practically. For instance, fuzzy or weighted social networks can be modeled as fuzzy interpretations, where individuals…
Background: Wisdom is a superordinate construct that embraces perspective taking, reflectiveness, prosocial orientation, reflective empathetic action, and intellectual humility. Unlike conventional models of reasoning that are rigidly bound…
This paper provides an in-depth review of the optimal design of type-1 and type-2 fuzzy inference systems (FIS) using five well known computational frameworks: genetic-fuzzy systems (GFS), neuro-fuzzy systems (NFS), hierarchical fuzzy…
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…
We present a new distributed fuzzy partitioning method to reduce the complexity of multi-way fuzzy decision trees in Big Data classification problems. The proposed algorithm builds a fixed number of fuzzy sets for all variables and adjusts…
In this report, a new fuzzy 2bit-AND parallel-to-OR, or simply, a fuzzy binary AND/OR (FBAR) text data compression model as an algorithm is suggested for bettering spatial locality limits on nodes during database transactions. The current…
This paper considers the linear objective function optimization with respect to a more general class of bipolar fuzzy relational equations, where the fuzzy compositions are defined by an arbitrary continuous Archimedean t-norm. In addition,…
This article is the first part of series of articles that aim to present the foundations for fuzzy variational calculus for functions taking values in the space of linearly correlated fuzzy numbers $\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{F}(A)}$. Recall that…
Fuzzy rule-based systems have been mostly used in interpretable decision-making because of their interpretable linguistic rules. However, interpretability requires both sensible linguistic partitions and small rule-base sizes, which are not…
This paper introduces Bounded Fuzzy Possibilistic Method (BFPM) by addressing several issues that previous clustering/classification methods have not considered. In fuzzy clustering, object's membership values should sum to 1. Hence, any…
Fuzzy sets are the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines…
Aiming at the group decision - making problem with multi - objective attributes, this study proposes a group decision - making system that integrates fuzzy inference and Bayesian network. A fuzzy rule base is constructed by combining…
We present a logical framework to represent and reason about fuzzy optimization problems based on fuzzy answer set optimization programming. This is accomplished by allowing fuzzy optimization aggregates, e.g., minimum and maximum in the…
We introduce a general theory of epistemic random fuzzy sets for reasoning with fuzzy or crisp evidence. This framework generalizes both the Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions, and possibility theory. Independent epistemic random…
Efficient exact algorithms for Discrete Optimization (DO) rely heavily on strong primal and dual bounds. Relaxed Decision Diagrams (DDs) provide a versatile mechanism for deriving such dual bounds by compactly over-approximating the…
Data integration is an important step in any data science pipeline where the objective is to unify the information available in different datasets for comprehensive analysis. Full Disjunction, which is an associative extension of the outer…
