The induced 2-tuple linguistic generalized OWA operator and its application in linguistic decision making
We present the induced 2-tuple linguistic generalized ordered weighted averaging (2-TILGOWA) operator. This new aggregation operator extends previous approaches by using generalized means, order-inducing variables in the reordering of the arguments and linguistic information represented with the 2-tuple linguistic approach. Its main advantage is that it includes a wide range of linguistic aggregation operators. Thus, its analyses can be seen from different perspectives and we obtain a much more complete picture of the situation considered and are able to select the alternative that best fits with with our interests or beliefs. We further generalize the operator by using quasi-arithmetic means, and obtain the Quasi-2-TILOWA operator. We conclude this paper by analysing the applicability of this new approach in a decision-making problem concerning product management.linguistic decision making, linguistic generalized mean, 2-tuple linguistic owa operator, 2-tuple linguistic aggregation operator
The Choquet integral for the aggregation of interval scales in multicriteria decision making
This paper addresses the question of which models fit with information concerning the preferences of the decision maker over each attribute, and his preferences about aggregation of criteria (interacting criteria). We show that the conditions induced by these information plus some intuitive conditions lead to a unique possible aggregation operator: the Choquet integral.
Interval typeâ2 fuzzy aggregation operator in decision making and its application
Type-2 fuzzy sets (T2FSs) can deal with higher modeling and uncertainties which exist in the real-world application, specifically
in the control systems. Particularly the climate changes are always uncertain and thus, the type-2 fuzzy controller is an
effective system to handle those situations. Polyhouse is a methodology used to cultivate the plants. It breaks the seasonal
hurdle of the formulation and it is also suitable for the conflictive climate conditions. Controlling and directing internal
parameters of the polyhouse play an essential role in the growth of the plant. Among those, humidity is an important element
when one deals with the growth of the plant in polyhouse. It affects the weather, as well as the global change of the climate
and hence, the inner climate of the polyhouse will be disturbed. In this paper, operational laws for triangular interval type-2
fuzzy numbers and derived triangular interval type-2 weighted geometric (TIT2WG) operator with their desired mathematical
properties using Dombi triangular norms. Also, humidity control is analyzed using interval type-2 fuzzy controller (IT2FC)
with the use of derived aggregation operator which is the aim of the paper. Further stability of the system has been analyzed
by applying four different defuzzification methods and the method is recommended which gives a better response
SOM-based aggregation for graph convolutional neural networks
Graph property prediction is becoming more and more popular due to the increasing availability of scientific and social data naturally represented in a graph form. Because of that, many researchers are focusing on the development of improved graph neural network models. One of the main components of a graph neural network is the aggregation operator, needed to generate a graph-level representation from a set of node-level embeddings. The aggregation operator is critical since it should, in principle, provide a representation of the graph that is isomorphism invariant, i.e. the graph representation should be a function of graph nodes treated as a set. DeepSets (in: Advances in neural information processing systems, pp 3391â3401, 2017) provides a framework to construct a set-aggregation operator with universal approximation properties. In this paper, we propose a DeepSets aggregation operator, based on Self-Organizing Maps (SOM), to transform a set of node-level representations into a single graph-level one. The adoption of SOMs allows to compute node representations that embed the information about their mutual similarity. Experimental results on several real-world datasets show that our proposed approach achieves improved predictive performance compared to the commonly adopted sum aggregation and many state-of-the-art graph neural network architectures in the literature
Relative aggregation operator in database fuzzy querying
Fuzzy selection criteria querying relational databases include vague terms; they usually refer linguistic values form the attribute linguistic domains, defined as fuzzy sets. Generally, when a vague query is processed, the definitions of vague terms must already exist in a knowledge base. But there are also cases when vague terms must be dynamically defined, when a particular operation is used to aggregate simple criteria in a complex selection. The paper presents a new aggregation operator and the corresponding algorithm to evaluate the fuzzy query
